I want to be an English teacher, though I have not decided whether to be an English teacher and work at high school yet. I started wanting to be an English teacher when I became a university student. And I have two experiences why I started wanting to be.

When I was a high school student, I liked English and studied hard in my way.

But it’s not because I enjoyed studying English but because I thought English is important to spend good life because I thought English skill is convenient to get work. When I thought English as a tool、I got one of two experience. One of my friend started going English conversation school after school, and I felt so envy and somehow I decided to take a look at the school my friend went to. After one week, I went to the English conversation school, and took one lesson for free. During the lesson I was so nervous and also I couldn’t speak anything in English as I wanted to say. So, after the class was finished, I felt so embarrassed and disappointed very much and I decided to go to the school. In the school, I met a nice American teacher. He was always smiling, funny and kind to all students. When I started speaking in English with him and other students in his class, I was always embarrassed and disappointed because my way to speak English is like a child’s way. I mean I could not tell most things in English as I could do in Japanese, but he always tried making his class funny and students happy. Then I was encouraged and started wanting to talk with him more and more and to be energetic for English.

              Moreover, I have one another experience half year ago I started working at a crime school to amuse myself because I wanted to know teachers’ feeling and also many friends worked at crime school. In spite of ambiguous motive, I have started enjoying teaching English high-school students gradually and I found working as a teacher very interesting and worthwhile. On the other hand, I too felt the work made me very tired sometime and I wanted to quit the job many times because I thought student took it for granted that teacher did the best and spent much time for students than myself, even if students didn’t do their best. But on a valentine’s day, one of my student gave me chocolates to express gratitude while smiling. And then another student told me that she got better score in English test while smiling. When I met the situation like those, I thought teachers job was not only hard but also touching and impressive.

Thus, I was fascinated with English and teaching job thorough the experiences.
