I have been working since I graduated from college but this is the first time that my colleagues surprised me with a birthday cake and song. This coming August will be my third year being part of my current company. I can still vividly remember how I practice to gain the neutral accent that was required so that I will be qualified for this job. I also often discussed my interest to teach on-line with my fellow teachers from my last school which I think cost me my last teaching gig. After several job interviews, I finally landed on my job as an English teacher to Korean students.
Being an EIA is an enjoyable, fulfilling and an easy work. You have a schedule to follow, students to deal with and lessons to discuss. Most of the students are polite, so I enjoy talking with them. Throughout the course of the class, I can notice that they’ve made improvements and gaining more confidence and that gives me a sense of fulfillment. It is not really hard because I have free time in between classes.
It was a blessing that the admin gave me more responsibilities when they promoted me as a Team Leader. It challenged me to put myself out there, to deal with people and be of help to my co-teachers. I’m happy the higher ups saw something special about me and believed in my capabilities. They entrusted me with a position that I can acquire more knowledge and skills on being an English teacher and opportunities to gain the expertise on being the middleman between the administration and my fellow EIAs.
I define myself with so many factors, and one of them is my work. I have a positive perception about myself because of it. My team is doing well and my students kept on renewing with me. I think I am doing a good job and I intend to continue to strive to be even better.
