I would like to vary out my options and look at whether there is a school I can continue working hard in but that may assist in my further growth, even towards HR if there's room for that, while also receiving better benefits for myself too. I am currently in my 30s and am looking for a better quality of life in the long run. SHARDALE ISRAEL Within the next 5 years, my goal is to establish myself in my own business and as an educator. I plan to do my best to find a balance to enjoy, work, study and do what it takes to travel this journey. My BA degree prepared me for employment within the media, events and promotions industry, and as a prospective language practitioner, especially as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language. I grew up in a family of teachers and learnt quickly that it is a commitment that cannot be taken lightly. It is with this attitude that I planned to teach first to gain more experience in the world and in the working world, which is why I travelled to South Korea to be an English teacher to foreign students. Through my time in Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Macau I have only come to realise and accept how much I love being a teacher to second language students and have enjoyed growing within this expertise area. It has been an experience that has been worthwhile to me – a different work ethic has been learned. Naturally, the travelling experience gave me whole new perspective on life, the world and the people around me. It is for this reason that I wanted to continue my journey as a teacher in a foreign country, I have so much more to learn and see. Vietnam showed me just how much I love my students and being a traveling teacher – which is why I would like to continue on with my career in this field which is also why I am currently studying my PGCE and should be complete in 2024. REFERENCES Cindy Chang Teaching Development Manager Monkey Tree English Learning Center (--Colleague in a senior role above me who manages me Adam Seex Academic Manager ILA Vietnam (--Direct Manager to myself at ILA REFERENCE LETTERS AS PER REQUEST As a Head Teacher in Macau I have grown within management and have learned quite a few tools in how to run a team and centre within the educational system, as well as progressively taking care of individual needs in and out of their professional or personal needs. Aside from this I have also been involved in major decisions regarding our school curriculam, students and a variety of situations regarding our employees from diverse backgrounds. Macau has also allowed me to experience what it is like to take care of larger centres, as well as planning events for them. I feel passionate about my duties, and am constantly striving to do better, to grow, to identify with my audience. I am an outgoing individual who adapts to any situation confronting me, and I love interacting with people from all walks of life. I believe I will be an invaluable asset to you and am only striving to be the best for the company I work in and for myself. Teaching, business, media, language and communication are all integrated and I intend to use these skills to give off my best within the career I find myself in, to have fun and most of all, to humbly learn from others. I believe I can be a vital asset to the school I work in as the position is one that I value as an educator Shardale
