My Satisfactory Career Comes from My Dream
This is the third year of my teaching career. When I was a little girl, I dreamed to be a teacher when I grew up. Although many of you have this dream in childhood, however,
each has a distinct reason. From my point of view in childhood, teacher is a great and powerful person with a lot of patience who has the exclusive capability of making the
innocent become the knowledgeable. In order to achieve this goal, I really worked very hard at school when others sleeping, going shopping and dating. Finally, this dream came
true and I became a teacher in a college, not a famous one but a pleasant enough place for me.
I like to sit on the grass with several students around on a sunny afternoon in spring and fall, talking about the current events or just some jokes. Only in this short period,
I feel I am not a teacher but a friend of them indeed. We may criticize Lady Gaga’s latest album and photos or appreciate Van Gogh’s masterpiece. Immersing into such a
relaxing environment, time passes quickly.
Last Tuesday, after chatting with them, I went back to my office to prepare the lessons on Thursday morning. It is about NEGOTIATION. I plan to raise some questions to them then
let them discuss how to negotiate with the vendor in our daily life and share their experience of successful bargaining if we have enough time then. I searched a lot of tips for
bargaining and a video online and prepared the class with some of my real experience to make it excellent and practical.
After having everything well prepared, I took my bag and drove to work on Thursday morning. When I got to the classroom, I took out my whiteboard marker, USB, and a Blue Laser
pointer pen. (Here I have to go back a bit; I bought this blue laser pointer online as my husband’s recommendation. His manager often points to some important part on PPT with
its help. To be honest, I am not familiar with it, so I searched lots of information on the Internet. Laser pointer pen is a useful tool with which you can highlight anything you want to emphasize on the PPT or slide without walking back and
forth; you can send signals to the rescue team when you are in danger in the forest; you can even lit a cigarette or match with some of it. Now it is widely used in our daily
life, teaching and science research.) That was the first time I showed it to them. Then I began to have my class like this: most every day we have a chance to negotiate with
someone for different purpose even if you never realize it. Come to think of it, when you were ill in childhood, you may ask for a doll when mommy persuade you to take the
medicine; you may give some snack to your classmate if you copy his or her homework; nowadays, you may negotiate price with a vendor when you wholesale something for your shop……
