Education, family background

Every human being is born with a mission of their own. No one is born without a purpose in life or without bringing value to society. I am not an exception either. In my opinion, there are many factors and motivations that keep me moving forward. Firstly, I have always been proud of my family because of the good family background. It does not mean that my family has a lot of money or valuable possessions but family values give to me. My parents who play an integral part in my development, always give me advice, encouragement, and unconditional investment. “By looking at a person’s behavior with others and the community, we can know that he or she has a good family background or not" they said. That saying reminds me to always live beautifully and bring value to the community. In addition, my parents have a good way to teach me the importance of healthy and unhealthy values. Even when I was a child, they gave me some responsibilities, such as cleaning the table or helping to cheer up a friend or siblings when they’re sick. Moreover, because of my hobby as a teenager, my parents were extremely willing to create conditions for me to take part in school activities. They help me comprehensively develop though these interests are not related to my current major - hotel management. A thing can not be ignored that although I have not been being brought up in a well-off family and my parents are faced with difficulties and challenges in family income, they always repeatedly try to work hard and give the best things for me. Thus, I admire and respect their efforts and never let my parents down. Secondly, because of the integration with the world, English which has became the foundation for Vietnamese people, helps them connect to the world easily. For me, I understand the importance of English and I always try to learn this language. To learn English effectively, I always consistenly ask myself: “Why do I want to study English? ” and then set goals for this reason. After that, I will make an agenda which is adjusted depending on my goals and schedules. Next, making a commitment because learning English requires a lot of motivation. Nobody is going to take my attendance when I am not in class. In addition, I study a balance of the four key skills - listening, speaking, reading, writing by watching English TV, using Internet listening resources such as VOA, BBC, …, talking to myself, reading something, and keeping a diary every day by day, … Moreover, I usually make up my own rewards program to give myself incentives to stay on task. When using English, I would like to develop myself in terms of languages, easily connect and absorb cultural values diversity in the world, useful for future work and career path. Thirdly, I have already taken the course of hospitality and catering industry and English courses at University of Finance and Marketing. It is one of the crucial factors that help me find out my mission. Especially, after the English course – English for hotel and catering industry, I acquired a great amount of knowledge about my major such as hospitality catering industry, tourism, dealing with customers in a variety of work-related situations such as: taking reservations and checking in; dealing with enquiries and problems. This knowledge is really essential for my career orientation. In addition, skills which I am learned after English course, support and help me become more professional. English skills help improve and widen employment prospects, communication skills and problem-solving skills are advantageous to create better relationships, improve productivity and win the recognition from boss. Moreover, my attitude with towards my major and everyone people has been improved a lot. I become more conscientious and hard-working to pursue my aspiration job, patient and helpful with people around me, and always put the customer's experience first above all. In short, after learning English course, I am upgrading myself and becoming professional and confidently to follow hospitality management. Finally, setting career goals has a positive effects on my mission in the future. I always set long-term and short-term goals which are guaranteed to operate slowly but surely. My orientation is working in sales and marketing department in a luxury hotel and having the opportunity to work in France. It seems to be incredible but I would like it. Moreover, I have accomplished a number of short-term goals such as an English certificate, communicating in French and I am being trained at the University of Finance and Marketing which has a variety of professional courses. Before reaching the Sales and Marketing department, I must have experience in Front Office. In a long term, I have to constantly cultivate and study hard to achieve my career goals. Connecting and keeping in touch with experienced people. I always think a lot, dream about it and in one day, it will come true. In conclusion, human being who is born, will have their own ambition for life. “The goal without a plan is just a wish”. It is right because if we do nothing, everything does not permanently come true. Indeed, we have to prepare a good knowledge in education, do well to achieve our career goals and English is a stepping stone to help us reach goals. After that, feed yourself and think about helping your family and contributing to society. Investing much time and energy today and you will be successful in the future.
