Well, today I would like to talk about a skill that I learned during my high school journey. The skill was none other than being a barista, which was quite challenging and demanding for me. I think it depends on the person and their preference about the skills they learn, but for me, learning to be a barista was crucial because in the near future, I definitely want to be a barista. I have been a coffee enthusiast from a young age. The skill was not only about being a barista but also about multitasking, servicing, how to deal with customers, and how to be a waiter. All of these tasks were so difficult that I nearly became frustrated and almost decided to quit learning the skill. However, there was one mentor who guided me overall to achieve these skills. He used to share his feelings and his really good experiences about his learning because he was quite senior to me and had explored that field. I always grasped his knowledge, skills, and learned something new from him. I have always wanted to learn this from my youth because in my near future, when I go abroad, I will definitely take up a job as a barista and work part-time in foreign countries because the barista job pays well. I think the difficulty was something that was too hard for me. The difficulty was just in the art of crafting. For instance, there is a basic part called latte art, because when you make a latte, you have to draw something on the milk and espresso.
