Finding my dream

What is my dream? I would like to find what I want to be. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. Then, when I was in elementary school, I wanted to be an elementary school teacher. After elementary school, I wanted to be a good teacher of the high school, like friend. The reason is I wanted to be my high school teacher. He was a very good teacher, and he always worried about his students and like my father. I respect for him until now. I really wanted to be a great teacher. However, when I entered a university, I was confused what my dream is. My dream was gone. While I study English at CMU, I think about my dream, and I realize I still want to be a teacher. I know it is very difficult way, but I just think about it. When I meet ELI instructors, I am interested in instructor.I know I have to study hard for my dream. I will do that for my future, and I decide what the right way is.

My Grammar

 When I first knew about English, I liked grammar. I knew grammar is difficult part of English, but I liked it. However, I do not know what grammar is. I like studying English grammar, but when I have a grammar, I always receive not good score. My difficult part is tense because it gives me confusion. I had a test about tense in the grammar class. I studied hard for the test, but the grade was too bad, and I did not understand why my answers were not correct. I think I know the meaning of the tense, but I am lacking in ability to solve the grammar questions. When I received my grammar score, I was very depressed. I will study hard English grammar, and I would like to receive a good score in the grammar class.

My Life of CMU

When I came to CMU in January, I could not speak and understand English well. I felt uncomfortable and afraid of meeting with Americans. I can not forget that first I took Steve’s Speaking and Listening class. I avoided his eyes becuase I did not want to say anything, and I could not speak Engligh well in the class. At that time, I regretted why I came to CMU, and I should study English hard in Korea, but I did not. However, I got good memories while I studied at CMU. I could make good friends and meet great instructors; also, I could learn about culture of America. Now, I do not regret I came here, I am happy that I could come to CMU and appreciate deeply my parents. In addition, I appreciate my instructors because they helped me that I improved my English Skills until now. If I go back to Korea, I will miss you and CMU.
