January 22, 2008. After 3 months of training and teaching, it was time to bring the China Life English Training Course to an end. I was chosen to host the closing ceremony with none other than my very own student Shi BoHui as a co-host. I think I speak for both of us when I say we were very nervous. Sitting front and center was the CIO, top managers, a few of my bosses and about 50 other people behind them, yikes!!! I was so nervous. It was my first time doing something like this but it was also kind of fun and a good experience and it is something I look forward to doing again.
It was a really great experience to teach the IT department of China Life English. They were all very professional students and very hard working. I also think that it was a mutually beneficial relationship because I learned a lot from my students as well. I hope that I can keep in touch with my students throughout the future!
