My name is Veata. I am 14 years old. I live in Cambodia. I have a dream for the future. I want to work in tourism. I want to work in a hotel. I think a hotel is a very good place. Many people come from other countries. They come for holidays. I want to help them and make them happy
I know some things I need for this dream. I must speak English well. English is important because many tourists speak English. I also want to learn another language, maybe Chinese. I must be friendly and polite. I must smile every day. I must be on time and work hard. I must like people and talk to them.
How can I reach my dream? I go to school and study. I read books. I watch English films. I can talk with tourists in my town. This helps me learn. Later, I want to study at a hotel school. I can learn how to welcome guests, how to show rooms, how to work in a restaurant, how to answer the phone, how to give information about the city, how to help with bags, and how to smile when people need help. I also want to learn about accounting because money is important in a hotel. I want to learn about advertising because a hotel must tell people about its rooms and services.
Sometimes it is not easy. But I believe I can do it. I will try every day. My dream is strong. One day I will work in a hotel as a manager.
