Undergraduate / Common app short response, languages at job [7]

When I was offered a job at a local Japanese restaurant, I was thrilled. I had just returned from Japan and was excited to put my Japanese to use. Languages are my passion; I had grown up speaking English and German, learned Japanese as an exchange student and am now in my fourth year of taking Chinese. Through learning languages, I can relate to more people and gain insight into their cultures. Sushi Tei had an interesting assortment of customers and employees. Not only could I chat with the Japanese businessmen who came for lunch, I could listen in on conversations between my Chinese coworkers, learn the basics of Thai from a fellow waitress and pick up bits of Spanish while teaching ESL to the Mexican dishwasher. While waiting tables, I became proficient in the art of switching languages; taking orders in Japanese at one table, English at another and then making requests to the chef in Chinese. This job helped me become open-minded and appreciative of the diversity in my community.

I'm trying to think of a better concluding sentence. Thank you very much!
