Where will I be in 5 Years?
In the next five years I have a goal to walking up to
receive my bachelor’s degree in English. I want to earn this degree to give
myself the best set of skills to teach others the English language. I figure
the more I know it the better I can explain it to others. With that education
behind me i want to teach English overseas particularly in Asia. I want to
travel to Japan, Korea, China and Thailand teaching people English as I go. It
has taken me a while to learn that what I enjoy most is helping others and this
is one great way to do it. The journey will be tough for me as I am working
full time and trying to take a full load of classes at night and online. I’ve
recently read an article about mindsets and feel I’m am some weird hybrid of
fixed and growth. I believe I have an innate intelligence level, but I also
have the work ethic to apply myself and work hard at learning new information.
But with this I also suffer from the downfalls of a fixed mindset in that I
don’t take low test results well. I suddenly think I’ve done something wrong
because I’ve done well most of the time I am really caught off guard when
suddenly I’m not getting 90% or better results. I think to move forward I have
to be more forgiving of myself and realize I am now at a higher education level
learning completely new things and it won’t come as easy as high school.
