How to get the most out of my 10 months at Shinta Mani Foundation
Studying at the Shinta Mani Foundation is a great chance for me. I feel happy and proud to be part of this program. I want to learn everything I can in these 10 months. To do that, I will come to school every day and always be on time. I will listen carefully to my teachers and take notes. I will ask questions if I don’t understand something.
I know English is very important in the hotel and tourism industry. So, I will practice speaking and writing English every day. I will talk to tourists if I get the chance, and I will try to use English in my daily life.
I will also be respectful and friendly to my teachers, classmates, and guests. Being kind and helpful is important in hospitality. I want to be a good team member.
I will work hard in both theory and practical classes. I want to learn how to work in a hotel, clean rooms, welcome guests, and solve problems.
After this course, I hope to find a good job and help support my family. I want to be a successful and professional person in the future. This is my dream.
