I even got to get experience as a Front Desk, Maintenance, and Lifeguard all together in Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan. I have had the opportunity to work in many Hotels and private buildings through out the city. As i mentioned in class i want to become a Travel agent but I’m very exited to learn every aspect of Hospitality Management because i would definitely apply it in my daily life and knowledge. My career goal is to be successful and well paid by the end of my school journey, but most importantly well aware of what i could do with the knowledge and experience this program will give me.

I could also say I’m initiative, i don’t mind being independent and taking charge. I’m as well very adaptive as life has made me. Through out my job and personal experience i think is safe to say i have endured great communication skills.
Hello Everyone,
My name is Shuhong Wu. I was born and raised in China. I immigrated to the United Stated when I got my bachelor degree in International economy and trade in China in 2012.
I really love food and cooking and I realized that Hospitality Management was the real major I wanted to study. So I began my study in City Tech because my friends recommended the program here.
Maybe you can not imagine how many difficulties during my study. It takes me more times than you to review lessons and finish homework since my mother language is not English. As the saying goes, âInterest is the best teacherâ. I hope we will have fun during our study and everybody can locate targets.
In the future, I hope I can have my own cake boutique one day.
My name is Alison McGovern, and I am a new student at City Tech eager to start learning the ins and outs of the hospitality industry. I come from a small town on the outskirts of NYC that some of you may have heard of, called Rockaway Beach. Rockaway is the type of place that people love to complain about, yet hardly anyone ever leaves. That being said, it took me 22 years to realize that there are bigger and better things beyond the shore, and in order to make a name for yourself, youâve got to step out of your comfort zone. I was, in fact, eager to go away to college when I was 18 and ventured a not-so-long journey to the Bronx, but sadly after a semester I gave up on that, retreated back home, and enrolled at Kingsborough. For the next three years, I took a slew of liberal arts courses, hoping that one day something would âclickâ and Iâd figure out my lifeâs calling. Unfortunately, that didnât happen, although I had brainwashed myself into thinking it did, in an effort to appease my family, who thought that by now Iâd have a degree or at least be nearly finished with college. What I had myself and everyone else believing was that I wanted to major in linguistics and be a TESOL teacher in some foreign country. I was so set on this idea that I decided to take a summer class in London to experience living in a different country, and I really did love every minute of it. It was when I came back from my travels in the UK and Ireland in August of this past year, that I realized how lucky I am to be living in the best city in the world, and that I didnât want to leave, at least not permanently.
While I was struggling to figure out my âdream jobâ, I had been working a few jobs over the years in different restaurants and bars in and around Rockaway. Right before I left the country, I was the happiest I had ever been at a job, or so I thought at the time. One of my closest friends in the restaurant and I would dream big, always talking about what we would do differently if it was our own place, then we got on talking about one day actually owning our own place and âhow cool it would beâ. I tend to get carried away with my big ideas, so I just brushed this one off and continued being unhappy with school.
When I arrived back in New York in August, I was eager to get back to work. A few days later, I started taking linguistics courses and I also started a new job waitressing and bartending in Downtown Brooklyn. My boss quickly saw through me and realized I was unhappy with school and only going to keep my family off my back, and he told me he saw great potential in me. âIf you like the business youâre in why donât you go to school for that?â, he said to me one evening. Thatâs when I starting looking into different hospitality programs. After countless arguments with my family members, who are tired of me switching from one major to the next, one big idea to another, I decided to go for it. I realized that I canât make everyone happy, and itâs my life to be living. The thing that scared me the most before majoring in Hospitality Management, was the idea of getting stuck in a job that Iâm unhappy with. Of course, you must take the good with the bad, but at the end of the day you should be doing what makes you happy, something you are passionate about. I hope that I can take what I learn at City Tech to be successful in this industry. Ultimately, I would love to open my very own bar/restaurant, but perhaps this program will help me learn about other career options that might suit me better. In the end, what I really want is to be happy and living a comfortable life. What makes me happy is meeting new people and learning about where they come from and what they do, and thatâs one of the main reasons I love this business, it really brings me out of my shell.
