I sooo want to travel on that continent. I have checked the TEFL programs, there are so many of them, it is hard to choose which one is the best. Also, it is difficult to find jobs that hire non-native english speaker as teacher. Im wondering if I really need to the get TEFL certification since Im considering going abroad just over the summer. Maybe I would just work as a volunteer, but I feel I would not be prepared enough to give good classes. And so I can get qualified, it will not be lost. And if for some reason at some point in my life I cannot find a job, or I just have the need to travel, I know I will have a job in most of the countries.
But doing the course in Peru is one of my priorities. Why? Well, Im not quite sure, but I really want to go to a Spanish speaking country to practice my Spanish and also because I really want to go see the Macchu Picchu. Peru is such a beautiful country and Im pretty sure I could never get bored over there. Life just seems so different from here.
After more reflexion, I think it is because I have a mission on Earth. I feel that I am here to do something good, to accomplish a lot. I might not be the one who will change the world, but if I could change at least a part of the world, or even one’s world, that would be more than great.
Seriously, when I will die, I want my life to have meant something. I dont want to leave knowing that my presence did not change anything
Yesterday, I ordered my MCAT kaplan review book! Im so excited! Im saying it right now, but I know that as the day of my mcat will get closer, I wont be so excited anymore!
TOtally worth it! It gives you a lot of independance and also a particular sense of freedom!!
Everytime I have an opportunity, eg. I met a guy that I like, that I find interesting or a guy likes me, I get sacred, I become rude because I am afraid of letting someone know my feelings. I am so afraid I might get hurt that I just dont open to others. I want this to change. I want to meet someone with whom, I will not be scared to express my true feelings, someone who will listen to me without judging me, someone who has a great sensitivity, someone I will always feel comfortable around. I dont know when the day I will meet that someone will come, but I am very looking forward to it! It seems sooo great to be in love, REAL love I mean!
I chose to took spanish courses this semester. I am very looking forward to learn this language and speak it fluently! It is such a beautiful language!
I am known to be a very quiet person. And in fact, I am. I am very calm, and I rarely ask for attention. Most of the time, I don’t talk because I just don’t know what to talk about. Sometimes, I would like to talk about a subject that is important to me but I feel that other people will find it boring, so I just give it up. I would like that to change. I would like to be able to talk about anything, anytime with who ever is there. And to make this change, I don’t know where to start. ANy ideas, comments?
One of my favorite goal.
I like it because it is so inspiring, it gives me the strength to continue in life. There is sooo much to learn! We can learn from every situations, good or bad ones, but also from every friends or rivals, family members, and from any people in the world!
I am for sure going to do everything in my power to reach the highest level of achievment of this goal, meaning not one second in my life, I will stop learning.
Last week I had a organized a reunion for people I went to school to whom I hadnt seen for so long. To be sure there would be a lot of people, I started talking about this reunion several months before the day it was going to happen. It was the first time I was trying to organize an event that involved more than 5 people.. I was so scared that no one would be interested. To my big surprise, a lot of people says the idea was interesting and they were glad I took this initiative. THis gave me strength to continue to organize this event. I consulted people, set the date and the place based on the most popular choice. However, when I sent out the invitations, only a third of the people replied that they would come. Even worse, at the event, only 5-6 people showed up.
As my first experience on leardership and organization of parties, I was deceived. But on the other hand, I learned. I will now use this experience to avoid making the same mistakes. Next time, I will try to be more persuasive, I will learn to recognize in which case I should make the decision by myself and when I should consult other people.
Hey Guys! Do you know about this organisation called Toastmater? It is like a club, where people get together an perform speeches and gives feedback in order to improve your communication and public speaking skills. I am going to try it this year since I heard it was very effective. There are toastmaster clubs everywhere around the globe. Go check it out at toastmaster.org
If someone has tried it before, let me know how it was, please!
“Le jour appartient à ceux qui se lève tôt” (Someone)
Translation: the day belongs to early risers.
Every year I tell my self: This year, I will get up early, go outside, breath the fresh air of the early morning, do some exercise, perhaps jogging come back home, eat breakfast and start the day feeling great.
But I fail every time. I have never been an early riser for more than 4 days. Where can I get this motivation, this determination to be able to keep this rhythm?
To find the answer, I will adopt this routine, and this time, I will not give up. Anyone willing to try it with me? :)
TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Going down the hill, snowboarding, the wind in the face. Nothing I have experienced so far could give you that delicious feeling of freedom.
It has been two years since I have learn how to snowboard. I will never regret it.
My ideal place to learn how to safe would be in Australia, where there are sharks, and sexy surfers to protect me from the sharks!
I am chinese but I can say that I have never seen China. Seems contradictory? The fact is that I have been adopted when I was very young. I now live in the province of Quebec in Canada. I dont know much more than Canadians do about Chinese culture and considering my background, I feel bad about it.
CHina is part of me, I cannot deny it. If I once rejected my origin and felt more like a Quebecer than a CHinese person, I now see my asian side as exotique, unique and I am kind of proud of it! For nothing I this whole world I would erase the chinese part of me. This is who I am. I might not speak mandarin (yet), but I am looking forward to discover this country, that has always been part of me.
I put this goal first on my list, since it is the most important to me. It can be consider as a goal, but I prefer consider it as a DREAM.
It would probably be a male Fresian. He would be young but smart. Quiet, but powerful. He would be beautiful, wonderful, pure and elegant. I would train him my-self. When he would be older, we would go on trails, for long walks, only him and me. He would know me much more than anybody wold ever know me. I would know him as if we were partner since ever. He would be my best friend.
I started to take horseback riding lessons when I was 11years old. Now that I am 19, I stopped riding because I did not have enough money to pay the lessons and because my studies take a lot of my time. Even though I know it was the right decision, I really regret it. I miss horses very much!
But even though I have very little contact with horses these days, I keep faith. I keep faith that someday, I will have everything in my hands to allow me to have my OWN horse. When this day will come, my friends, I will let you know, don’t worry! Because when this day will have come, I will be one of the happiest person in this world!
