Throughout my life I have thought of myself as a leader and a teacher. I have always been the vocal leader of my baseball teams I have played on and coached, as well as the jobs I have had. I am a very passionate, hard worker, with a great sense of humor and am always told I make people around me smile. Growing up I was taught to be respectful, loyal and determined. I have been more focused and dedicated on my journey to being an English teacher than any other aspect the past few years of my life. I have been awarded my 4-year degree from Evergreen State College and successfully completed my 120-hour TEFL course. I am currently enrolled in Online Korean classes on “Duolingo” and I am learning more and more everyday. Teaching English has been my dream job and I believe the steps I have taken in life have helped lead me to this point. While in the beginning of my college career I was placed in a dorm with three people that have never been to the United states, two from South Korea and one from Japan. While becoming friends, I often caught myself teaching them English and helping them with their grammar and pronunciation. I soon grew to be very happy and joyful teaching them and it gave me a great sense of pride seeing the progress they have made. They would always tell me I was a great teacher and the feeling of accomplishment has never left me. I want to make that feeling a forever thing and finally take the next step in teaching English in South Korea.
