I’m a first year student in hospitality management. I hope to obtain my bachelors degree although it’ll be a lot of work. I chose this major so that I can learn about the different aspects and see which one I’m 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. I’m also thinking about moving to France and working at a hotel over there. I often keep to myself and I’ve been working on coming out of my shell. I’ve definitely become more self-assured over the years but there’s still more I can do. I’m currently working as a cashier. It’s nice to see different faces everyday and have different interactions with them. I think my biggest strength would be my patience. With patience I’m able to analyze situations from different perspectives. It’s a good virtue to have with my job because sometimes people can be irritating but I don’t have an attitude with them. I’m also very understanding so I know that some people experience different things that may affect their character. Another one of my strengths is that I’m a good listener. I don’t talk often so I spend more time listening to what others have to say.
