ESL TEACHERS
I have been to the ESL company for almost six months now,
I thought it was easy but I was wrong. The first training is very tough
and quiet tressful were we have to a series of lectures and sharing of
course but at the end of the day, it was fulfilling where we learned
through our experiences. Along the way, the accumulation of information
being shared and learned tends to add up to our physical and mental stress.
Anyways its always part as a trainee to experience this but in such a way,
it molds us to become better without knowing it. During the last day of the
training, everyone was nervous, scared and excited but as we find out, in the end,
it was a sad and happy feeling that we felt at that very moment because some
are chosen and others are not meaning few are employed.

On the first day of regular work, I was excited and worried because I'm afraid
I may not perform well and I questioned myself " how could I deliver my best as I
observed everyone have a better English accent and pronunciation?". It was true
then that it was not that easy to each in just 25 minutes or less with the assurance
of learning is delivered but I'm sad because I don't know if I could assess myself if
I'm doing good or not, I'm too focused on my pronunciation and delivery of the content.
With that, it worries me and feels uneasy so I just listen to religious music which reminds
me of my students during my internship which inspires me to push my dream to be a
professional teacher. As time goes by I was having fun teaching and struggling on my sleep
adjustments were a good rest is the main problem, I am far from work that's why I have to
wake up early in the morning and suffer the heavy traffic at the end of the work going back home,
thank God even how stress I am, I felt happy at the end of the day were I could see my loves at the
dining table at home having a little time talking. But here in our work, we have also team building
which I thought was a burden to our pockets but it was just fine without experiencing pain towards
our pocket, anyways the Team went to Cawasan Falls in Badjan Cebu, Philippines, the fun and
experience is worth having to because it's a different experience which I'm not used to, I'm not that
outgoing guy but that experience craves me for another one because the place is absolutely beautiful,
the water is very cold even though it's noontime and the place is cozy . The next day, I realized that all
of my bodily or physical stress was lift-off like colds and bodily pains and mental stress. It's really true
that smiles could really get rid of our anxieties within us, it might be physical, emotional or mental.
