How to make the most of my 10 months at Shinta Mani Foundation

Studying at the Shinta Mani Foundation is a great opportunity for me. I feel proud and excited to be part of this program. In these 10 months, I want to learn as much as possible. To do that, I will come to school every day and always arrive on time. I will listen carefully to my teachers, take notes, and ask questions when I don’t understand something.

English is very important in the hospitality and tourism industry, so I will practice it every day. I will try to speak and write in English as much as I can. If I meet tourists, I will try to talk to them to improve my speaking skills.

I will also be respectful, polite, and friendly to my teachers, classmates, and guests. In hospitality, it’s important to be helpful and work well in a team.

I will study hard in both theory and practice. I want to learn how to clean rooms, welcome guests, and solve problems in a hotel.

After the course, I hope to get a good job and help my family. My dream is to become a professional and successful person.
