I came form China and I have stayed here in Regina for three years. Currently I major in English and minor in social studies. This is my third year of university. I took high school in China; I graduated in June, 2012. I didn't have much experience with adolescents, but I have a younger sister and a younger brother,they both young teenagers. For interests, I like cooking, backing, traveling;and I love music and movies.
Actually, I transferred from Business to Education in my first year. I just realized that I want to be a teacher although we don't have any educator in my family. I like children and young people and I can feel something inside me that really want to help them. I believe every child can grow. I think teaching is not only about lecturing and grading, but helping students maximizing their developments. As a teacher, it's our responsibilities to teach knowledge, help students become critical thinkers, and make more better people. I'm excited! When I was in China, we didn't have any technology devices in classroom and we were not allowed to bring any to classes. It was because they thought technologies would not have any good for students but distract our attention. We implemented the traditional way of teaching: teacher talking and students taking notes. However, I changed my view after I came to Canada. I found technologies are pretty useful and helpful in classroom. Our responsibility is helping students using their phones, ipads, and laptops appropriately and effectively, which would support their works. I desire to know more about technology in classroom! Honestly, I often feel nervous because I have a different cultural background and I'm not a natural English speaker. I worried if I could teach natural English speakers. But I will try my best because I know I want to be a teacher. I think I need to be more confident. I'm happy I can be here study with you and my peers; and I wish we can have an excellent journey together! ^^
