1. Describe the lessons you learned from these topics:

1a. what are the main components of tourism, hospitality and travel industry?

1b. why is customer service important for the hospitality industry?

​     1c. what life lessons did you learn from our ice breakers?

The main components of Tourism, Hospitality, and Travel Industry that I learned was customer service. Customer Service is important because it helps attract and bring back existing customers to your business, it gives them an overview of how you treat your customers and is the dealbreaker on how people view your business. I learned a lot about my classmates and was able to recall things my parents have told me, such as some quotes they have told me to live by, such as "Keep working hard, it'll be worth it."

2. What were your most memorable experiences from our class?

The "Be a Tourist" fieldtrip was definetly something that excited me. I learned many things about the island's history that I hadn't known about before, such as how the Japanese soldiers killed themselves when they were close to losing the war. I even learned things about my own location, fort Apugan, like how it was used by both the Spanish, Japanese, and Americans.

3. If I had to redo my school year, what would I do differently? How did you adapt to double session at JFK?

I would work twice as hard to join the soccer team, I made 1 too many mistakes, and it got me cut. The coach still respects me though and expects me to try out again next year. Other than that, I have no regrets. I adapted to the double session at JFK very quickly because it rarely interferes with my schedule. So I was able to wake up and do what I can on time.

4. Rate your effort and attendance for our class (5 being the highest to 1 being the lowest) and describe your one challenge and one success during this school year.

Without sounding cocky, I would give myself a 5. I did what I could this year, and I did my family proud. My challenge was that I was shy and was trying to do things that freshmen me would've never thought of doing, such as trying out for soccer, but it paid off when I forced myself to do it. My success is the same thing, exceeding my own expectations.

5. Add at least two favorite photos of your class from this school year.
