wants to learn English. And you how I deal with it is not that hard I just spend my time here giving it
my love and passion.

4. What do you think are the most challenging aspects of teaching? Having to fight your self every
single day. You know there are times that I need to teach for considerable hours but I don’t have the
energy for it. I just wanna rest, relax, read or scroll through my phone doing things. hahahha but while
teaching the most challenging thing that I need to deal with is the student. There are students that
really loves studying English and I love them but those who don’t want drains m energy. While
teaching they don’t listen, they play games, they just look at me and they don’t focus so it was hard to
guide them. Some of the reasons of their being like that especially kids is sometimes their parents are

family, my friends my future and then I tried to be confident and I become confident and after months
of hardwork I was able to become and grow as an English as second language teacher. So for those
aspiring esl teacher, step outside of your comfort zone because it will help you to grow. And be
confident, just practice and believe in yourself
