Journal Topic of the Week 6

Q. Plan your days (years) to achieve your goal. Set up your career goal first and then design your life (study) plan for the coming 2018, 2013, and this year.

As I mentioned on the last journal, I want to become an English teacher in the future. In order to achieve my goal, first, I have to work hard in university and get a bachelor of English education. In 2013, I probably study abroad as a exchange student, after finishing my military service. This experience will help me a lot building my English teaching skills. The holder of a bachelor of English education means 'Grade 2 English teacher'. 'Grade 2 English Teacher' can work as an English teacher in private secondary schools of South Korea. It also means that he or she is qualified to take the screening process conducted by city/provincial education offices every year, a.k.a 임용고시 in Korean. If you pass this, you will get a qualification to work in public secondary schools of a specific city or province. My plan is after the graduaction, I will study hard for about a year and pass the exam. So in 2018, I will work as an English teacher at public schools in Seoul.

Only a week left

Next week is the Mid-term exam week!!!

It is the first time to take exams since I entered the university.

I do not have any idea what the exams will be like...

I am really nervous, and have anxiety that I might fail every single courses.

But I got some time! so I will keep my pace up to the last day of next week.
