After I graduated in university and took the board exam, I applied in an ESL school near our house. It was really not my plan to work there because I didn't know at first what jobs they were needing. So,I brought my resume with me and stepped inside the campus. I had my first interview, then my second interview then my third, which was a teaching demonstration. Basically, It's a school which teaches English to non- English speaking students for at least a week to the maximum months. It's my first application and also my first job. I stayed there for 1 year and 9 months and I really did experienced a lot of things. I learned a lot and I changed a lot. I learned to talk confidently in front of the public which was difficult for me when I was studying in elementary, high school and university. I learned to open myself more, singing in public, dancing in public, hosting in public, etc. It was like, a place which opens my inner self. And together with my learning and happiness are the people in the school and the students whom I've taught.
I RECEIVED THESE STUFFS FROM MY STUDENTS

An owl origami |
This is an origami owl made by my Korean student. She loves to make origami during the class. She loves English but she prefers Origami the most. So, I always prepared an Origami lesson every class time with her. Isn't it adorable?^^

Very kind words. |
|
You're welcome. |
This is a letter from my Japanese student. It's actually a big letter with few written words. She's a woman with few words I think (^^). Nevertheless, I enjoyed the class with her. I taught her for almost 5 months, the result? I already recognized her footsteps whenever she walks to the classroom.

From a Korean student. |
This is from my Korean student. He's super duper studious. We barely talk about unnecessary stuffs during the class. He's a runner and loves exercising. See the picture on the letter? Well, that's her girlfriend that he was always boasting to me. Unluckily, the picture's not that clear.^^
Since I've started teaching in an ESL school, I've received a lot of letters from my students as a remembrance when it's time for them to depart from the school and from the teachers and other students. I always enjoyed reading their letters so I kept all of them. Now that I'm not already teaching, I stayed in touch with my students. I missed the teaching profession so much that I've fallen in love with it. It's difficult to imagine that the things I used to hate became the things that I'm loving.
THE FOLLOWING ARE OTHER LETTERS FROM MY STUDENTS.
