Our lives started out as a new full piece of chalk representing the length of our life.

Each of us is busy scribbling the chalk wall of our journey.

We have our own way on making it colorful and astounding.
When I was 7 years old, I used to have a small imagination about being in a classroom. I
did prepare lessons every day. I made a list of my class. I used the wall of our home as a
chalkboard, and painted it with words. At that time, I had the vision of myself of
becoming a student of Hanoi National University of Education.
When I was 9 years old, my best friend told me that I was too kind to be a teacher. My
students might bully me. I asked my dad about that. He said it was true, and I should
follow his path to work in public section when I grew up.
When I was 15 years old, it was my belief that someday I would work in a public
organization. I also still wanted to study in an English environment. That was the reason
why, at that moment, Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam was my dream university.
When I was 18 years old, I failed to enter the university of my dream. I had given the
best out of me to have the highest score., but it was saddening to ponder that my 3 years
of studying in high was not quite enough. After that, I doubtlessly followed what my
father thinks what’s the best for me. During those days, depression chased me. It came
to the point that my academic performance was not good.
At that time, I have realized that I shall not let myself go down. I decided to find my real
dream. Since I was an excellent student at Literature, I started by working as a content
writer. I did it well; however, I still had a sense that it was not the permanent job I could
follow. My “finding true job” journey did not stop. I love speaking which leads me to
my decision to enroll Master of Ceremonies courses. I wondered if I could be a great
host. I made an immense effort to be one. At the same time, I also participated in an
internship program in administrative department of one of the top-list universities in
Vietnam. However, I still could not find a strong emotion in these jobs.
I was being confused of the pathway I should take in life, but this brings me to the job
that leads me to genuine happiness. I am currently working as an English assistant in a
famous local English center in outskirt of Hanoi which is also my place. Honestly, I am
not that good at English, but I sincerely love it. I couldn’t deny the fact that I have been
experiencing an amazing moment in this job. In all honesty, I did not feel this kind of
happiness with any career I tried before. This job requires speaking skills which
develops my interpersonal skills. I can share everything beyond studies with my
students. Every time I look at them, I could clearly remember the days when I was at
those ages. Even I work in the evening after a long-hour-studying in the university, I still
have an enormous energy to work. It melts away all my tension. At first, I was quite
hesitant about myself. However, I realized that it takes confidence to surpass all the
challenges in life. In this job, I could inspire my students to pursue what makes them
happy and to never give up on their dreams. During all these time, I just teach them
based on my hands-on experience. Meanwhile, I am trying my best to improve my
ability for the reason that I want my students to have the best teacher. Therefore, I
decided to pursue teaching English career.
Determined what occupation I want to follow, I made a plan for myself. In the next 5
years, I am going to finish my TESOL course because this will a tremendous help to
enhance my capability and ability as an English Teacher. My major is far from teaching
English. It means I need a suitable training course to follow my dream. Apart from that,
after finishing this course, I will apply as an English teacher in a secondary school and
work as an English consultant in local center I am working now.
In 10 years later, I want to be a headmaster’s advisor in bilingual secondary school. I
believe that it is suitable for me because I am also good at making policies. Added to
that, Bilingual Education System in my country always tries to improve students’
English ability. I choose secondary school because I feel more comfortable with
teaching adolescent students.
The reason why I have decided to apply in the United Kingdom is that I want to
immerse myself in this country’s culture and lifestyle. When the time I graduate, I will
not only teach my students a certain language but also my hands-on experience in this
native country.
More importantly, I choose Master TESOL in Hudderfield University because this
program provides us the good chance to make lesson materials by my own. This could
help me to solve many problems I am facing now.
I have degree of Public Administration, it means I also understand about the way
Vietnamese government runs our educational system. I believe that it is a factor to apply
my knowledge in your school to our country.
I hold a strong belief that the master TESOL course would be valuable which helps me
reaching my fulfillment in the future. With great confidence and passion, I am looking
forward to receiving positive reply from you.
Thank you for your consideration!
