Johan: South Africa: Aug 01, 2020

I have done a gap year, where I solely focused on improving myself and discovering what I am passionate about and it has been clear that I have a huge interest in helping others to reach their full potential and to walk the journey through with them. Some of the courses I have completed during this time includes a critical thinking course, positive thinking course, time and stress management course and a health and nutrition course. I am sure that I can incorporate the skills I learnt into my teaching career.

I would consider myself to be a positive and uplifting person with a very talkative and loving personality. I have a very high work ethic standard that I hold myself to, so I take pride in completing my tasks before deadlines and to the best of my ability. I take full responsibility for my mistakes and I always look to improve in any area that I fall short in.

I am and have been in a multicultural school, church and university so I am familiar with other cultures and I love to learn from them and to find a common ground where we can interact with one another and reach common goals that we have set. I am excited to emerge myself in the rich culture of Korea and will most certainly participate in activities within my area. I do not consider myself above anyone else and I work very well under the authority of others and I see people in positions of authority as potential mentors that I can consult during my career.
