Iām a first year student in hospitality management. I hope to obtain my bachelors degree although itāll be a lot of work. I chose this major so that I can learn about the different aspects and see which one Iām interested in. I love to travel so my family thinks I should become a flight attendant but I think working as a front desk clerk would also be nice. Iām also thinking about moving to France and working at a hotel over there. I often keep to myself and Iāve been working on coming out of my shell. Iāve definitely become more self-assured over the years but thereās still more I can do. Iām currently working as a cashier. Itās nice to see different faces everyday and have different interactions with them. I think my biggest strength would be my patience. With patience Iām able to analyze situations from different perspectives. Itās a good virtue to have with my job because sometimes people can be irritating but I donāt have an attitude with them. Iām also very understanding so I know that some people experience different things that may affect their character. Another one of my strengths is that Iām a good listener. I donāt talk often so I spend more time listening to what others have to say.
