TEACHING



The good thing about being a teacher is you learn PATIENCE. The bad thing about being a teacher is you learn PATIENCE. : )



Ever since I was a kid I always wanted to be an educator.  I remember back then my aunt bought me a box of chalk and a blackboard so I could feel the essence of being a teacher. I was so happy then.  I even gathered my younger cousins to my home and be my students. Sometimes, I locked myself in my room, made visual aids and taped it on the wall then talked to my imaginary students.  Yes, I had imaginary students.  If some people had imaginary friends, in my case I had imaginary students.  I bet they're all successful now. hehehe.  

But, when I reached highschool my plans changed.  I didn't wanna be an educator anymore.  Lesson Plans discouraged me.  I hated doing it.  It's like going back to school again.  So, I decided to look for something else and decided to be in a MASS MEDIA world. So, I took Mass Communication.  People at home thought I would get an Education degree, but to their amused I got a Mass Communication degree instead.  

I didn't regret any decisions I made.  As what the adage says, "what you do is always your choice."

Even though I didn't pursue being an educator my life still is associated with it.  Right now I am an online ESL Teacher.  I teach Korean students online and I am happy with it.  They learn from me and I learn from them.  As what they say, teaching is a two-way process.

faces of me having online classes. lol
