After I have been working hear for nearly 2 years, I am heading a new challenge in my life. - Becoming an English teacher! .
I graduated from a pedagogical college, but I did never teach English before. In around 3 years I have been changing from jobs to jobs, and being fluent in both Mandarin and English is one of the purpose.
Now it's time to face myself - Can I really teach kids? This question evolves my head for year - I am afraid of teaching. Like I can never teach anybody, except me? Like I can talk thousands of hours in English but I dunno how to explain that to kids.
Facing my real scare, it's time. Yeah time's gone so fast, I can't wait until I am strong enough. I have to be strong now and then, unlimited strength. Oh no, Lesson plans!

@whiteream yeah, I guess so. I really feel that I should do this, but I am afraid of telling bad about Vietnamese education, cuz I don't like it. I learn everything myself, and you know children learn to be like a parrot talking English. Just wanna show them how a language should be learnt. I did that with English, Chinese, and later on Arabic too.

@anh101 How come this problem is happening everywhere? I thought it is only happening in my country. I hope you can make a great teacher in a few months even if you have fear initially. Actually that fear will help you be focussed on your task and achieve great heights.
