I have been dreaming of becoming a good teacher since I was a child. Although I have a strong desire to be a good teacher since I was old enough to know about teaching, I wasn't given an opportunity to be a teacher till i passed the matrix exam. Fortunately, I had a chance to come to the capital city of Myanmar when i was 18 in order to get a job and support my family with my salary. It is not easy to get a job in a capital city without working experience. So, I attended computer basic class in order to continuous my life as a career. After I spent most of my time with computer for three months, I realized that I could be a computer teacher. I started teaching computer to novices and children for a long period of time. I was recognized as a patient, kind, intelligent teacher by the students. It was the first step of becoming a well-qualified English teacher in my life.

Luckily, I was given an opportunity which I would enjoy most, to attend English class at the American while I was volunteering as a computer teacher in a monastery. I realized that it is time to make my dream come true. As you know, to be a well-qualified teacher is not easy as people think. You have to make effort and you have to study about teaching method and have to spend your time with reading to update your knowledge in order to prove that you are sophisticated person. I tried hard to be a qualified to become a good teacher but sometimes things do not happen as you wish. Although I tried hard to be a teacher, any one didn't believe me that I could be a teacher except myself. They see me as a normal student as other. They didn't know what I was feeling in my mind and what a strong desire I have to be a teacher. 

I couldn't prove that I am a good teacher during one year as I have to think about my family. Coincidently, in 2009, I knew that there was teacher training at the American centre and anyone who is interested in that class can attend every Tuesday and Wednesday. I was really appreciated with that news because I realize that it will open the door for my life. It makes me believe that I can take teaching as a career through my life. Now, I have been attending that class every Tuesday and Wednesday very enthusiastically with many well-qualified teacher. Then, I am a teaching as an English teacher in Yangon. I have applied a job at International School in Yangon in order to be recognized me as a good teacher.
