My name is Luhpyta Zahra , I chose to enter the D3 Hospitality study program. The reason? Because in
hospitality, it focuses more on practice than theory. Since I am from the city, I am still very unfamiliar
with the world of hotels, so I think that choosing hospitality will be easier in finding work in the hotel
world. The encouragement of the family, especially parents who think that with me entering the hotel
world, there are still not many people interested in, I will find it easy to get a job later. When I run OJT
later, I will gain a lot of knowledge about the world of hospitality and I can hone my skills the next time I
ojt. Basically all of this is just part of the rocket for me, because my greatest desire is to become an
entrepreneur. I am still 19 years old and there is still a lot of time and opportunity for me to hone my
skills and also my knowledge about the world of hospitality, especially in the F&B Service Department
before I was 21 years old and I can participate in job selection on cruise ships. My plan is that after
completion of October, I will try to work at a 5 star restaurant first, there I work for 1 year, after that I
will continue working at 5 star hotels for 1 year as well. After I was old enough to participate in the
selection to work on cruise ships, I already had a lot of provisions and knowledge about the world of
hospitality.
