Persian
Language
and Literature. In 2018 I
also
obtained a certificate in Hospitality Management from the vocational college “Icarus”.
My interest in languages started in childhood and eventually became my profession. Now I can speak four languages and I
work
as a Persian
language
freelance interpreter. Since I started working as an interpreter, my
life
has totally changed. At
I was attracted to literature and I enjoyed reading novels. Working with the police, I had to learn vocabulary related to criminality. I worked

jail. I interpreted on various occasions related to drug possession, theft, passport forgery, fraud etc. But I like
this
job and I earn decent money. My job is quite flexible and I have enough free
time
so I started learning Japanese with a private teacher three months ago.
Another interesting period of my
life
was in Germany. After studying
Hotel
and Restaurant Management in a vocational college for six months, I spent two months in a resort on the Baltic sea called Ahlbeck. I worked there as a waitress at a
hotel
for four hours at breakfast
time
and four hours at dinner
time
. After
work
on some days, I could hardly go upstairs to my room on the fourth floor. But when I saw
hotel
guests smiling with satisfaction because I knew in advance what they wanted to eat or drink, it made me forget about my tiredness. One
day
of my
work
was very special. It was lunchtime and I was setting tables when an elegant old man suddenly came to me and hugged me. I blushed from his unexpected expression of warmth.
Good earnings gave me a chance to take lessons at The Asian
Language
Center. Actually, learning Asian languages is quite expensive in
Georgia
and not everyone can afford it. You may wonder why I chose to learn
Korean
.
First
, I like the
language
itself, its speech melody, especially when my lovely
Korean
teachers speak. Another important reason is I have noticed that Koreans are interested in
Georgia
. In the
last
2-3 years, more and more
Korean
tourists
visited my country. According to the 2019 statistics, there were about 16 000
tourists
from Korea. It's a good number, especially given quite a long distance between the two countries. I am a practically thinking person and I see prospective
work
opportunities in
this
area.
At the same
time
, I really like helping people; it's one

my values in
life
. On a few occasions, I provided free guiding and even financial assistance to several
tourists
. I really care for people. Once I interrupted my business trip to Iran just because I had promised to accompany one

exchange app. I called my mother from Iran and asked her to buy some meat and marinade it. I took him to the ancient city Mtskheta and
then
we made a barbecue in the nearby forest. I spent all
day
walking with him and took him to his
hotel
late at night. I have guided a few
tourists
from different countries and I have really enjoyed it. Some of those
tourists
have become my friends. I am always ready to help people. When I do something good for someone, it brings me a lot of joy.
In the
I want to start my own business, namely a travel agency. To realize my plan, I need to learn much more in
this
field, especially good communication and
language
skills.
That is
why I have decided to apply to your university. I am determined to use
this
opportunity to make my plan come true. I have a dream to guide many
tourists
from Korea and show them the beauty of my country.
This
is what I would like to do for the rest of my
life
.
Georgia
is famous for its ancient tradition of hospitality and a very special attitude to guests. We have a proverb that expresses it very well, “A guest comes from God”.
