I grew up in in Mokhotlong Lesotho as the youngest of four children in a bilingual family. As a child, I loved everything that had to do with school, and I often played the role of a teacher when my friends and I played Classroom, and around age 17, I decided that I wanted to be a teacher. I believe that this desire to become a teacher was triggered by my English teacher who was so caring and always advised us to work very hard hard so that we could be better people in the future.
Every one in my class didn't want to be teacher, and a thought struck my mind, "Who will advice the upcoming generation if we all don't want to be teachers? who will take the role of my teacher when he is no more or he has retired if we all do not want be teachers?" It is from this thought that I made a decision that I anted to be a teacher, and a teacher of languages for that matter.
I believe that it is through education and communication that we have the power to make the world a better and more beautiful place; no matter where we come from, our physical circumstances bear little import on the potential value of our life experiences if we can come to understand, respect, and appreciate other people around us for their experiences as well. And it is in this that I decided that my passion for teaching lies in communication and language. If I can pass on my appreciation for the beauty of subtlety in language to my students, then I believe I will have done my job well.
