not my profession?

Ever since I am a twisted student, I am not rude it's just that my teachers had a hard time teaching me...

In college I took up Electronics and Communication Engineering, yes I want to become an
Engineer but things just change when I need to decide to stop going to school.

I took different Jobs not related to my Profession ... I worked as a Cashier, Cook, and Waiter in a Restaurant. And I am working as a Marketing Associate in one of the BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) Company in our country.

And during Saturdays we don't have a work, and I always go with Ate Angel's(my Marketing Executive) school. We usually spend the day there eating ... eating ... and I would also attend her classes. (Sit in)

Then I am planning to take a Foreign Language Short Term Course ... and seeing the Bulletin Boards for some updates on the course we found a different course ... a course I never thought I would be getting in ...

Yeah we saw the postings for a Part Time ESL Instructor ... And I just thought it could be interesting ... so with Ate Angel we tried to apply for the position...

I never thought it would be that exciting ... We had an interview ... an exam (quite hard) and surprise to be invited for a teaching DEMO...

Waaahh I am amazed ... that the unbearable student before will be taking steps to take the Profession he would not imagine to do. Yeah I will be a TEACHER ...

ANd this is one is much diffirent than what a normal student do inside the classroom ( not like me before ) because I will be handling a Foreign Students who wants to learn how to speak English ... well honestly I still don't have much idea of how hard and tough it will be .... but I am very excited ...

The next day I did my Teaching DEMO, I talked about Foods specifically in making PIZZA in 15 minutes with one Foreign Student ... he is a Korean, his name is Kevin and I really had Fun because he is participating in my Class, Polite and Smart .... (I have no idea that they can be kind, like Kevin).

Then after that I had an interview with one of the Officials of the school ... Ms. Emmeline Hwang .... I had a great time with her, because its like we just had a free talk ... but that time I had a feeling of liking the Job of being a Teacher so I did my best to get the Job ... we've talked a lot and enjoy the conversation so much ...but am still clueless and unsure if I am qualified for the Job or if I could really become a TEACHER!

Suddenly the front desk officer told us that we are invited to comeback tomorrow for a job offer and final interview with Mr. Hwang (the GENERAL MANAGER).

I am confused with the term JOB OFFERED but still need to undergo a final interview.

But still kept on trying, and submitted myself in the SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION OFFICE the next day ... before meeting the GENERAL MANAGER I had the chance to talk to Ms. Hwang again and she talked to me about the JOB and shared to me the contract and was surprise when she told me that they are accepting me to be one of their teachers ...

Waahhhh I could kick my heart that moment was really fantastic and great ... my heart beats so fast and I am so happy... but then am still surprise when she congratulate me and told me that I need to wait in the lobby for a final interview with Mr. Hwang..

The next thing I know is that I am sitting in front of Mr. Hwang reminding me of their strict policy ( We are very strict in attending ....wrong grammar ) But he looks not so biting me ....hehehehe

And he asked me, "How did you know about us?" "We saw a posting at Cebu Normal University (one of the Universities here in Cebu, I replied to him trying to hide my childish mind ...and he sound and looks so serious when he said, "Is Cebu Normal University?" ( he uttered the words so difficult to understand because of his accent) so I did not understand ... and Ms. (Mrs.) Hwang politely told me that Mr. Hwang is just joking ... and before I could react to that he ask me to wait outside and thank me. I shake his hand and thank him too.

Waaahahhhh... I am so happy when they told me that the next day we will be reporting in the school as new TEACHERS .... WOW ..... !!!

And when we had our first day ... Mr. Hwang invited us again in his office for another talk...but this time he ask the whole group of NEW TEACHERS ... I cannot concentrate listening to his message because only until that moment, sunk in to my mind about Mr. Hwang trying to throw a Joke .... and I appreciate it ....he told us that we need to act as Professional to keep us, as member of his Family ... the SCHOOL...

Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh I am a TEACHER now...
