My name is Kunthea. I am a young woman from Cambodia. I work in a big hotel. I am a waitress. I like my job, but some days are very busy.
My work starts at 7 a.m. I put on my uniform and go to the restaurant. I clean the tables and put plates and glasses on them. Everything must look nice for the guests.
Many guests come for breakfast. They say âGood morningâ and âThank you.â I bring coffee and food. Sometimes many guests need help. I must work fast.
Sometimes guests are unhappy. I say âSorryâ and try to help. In the afternoon it is quiet. I clean and talk with my friends. At the end of the day, I am tired but happy.
