The
most useful thing I’ve ever learned
Have you ever learned something that
completely changed your life? I can remember exactly how it was for me when I
got interested in learning English and who helped me become the person I am
today.
I had always been in love with English
music and I put in some work by myself, but only when I ended up in the English
class of Mr. Weiss I got completely hooked. His amazing style of teaching
struck a chord and my skills skyrocketed in no time.
Feeling confident, I took the leap and
moved to beautiful Australia where I was able to travel and even call it home
for over seven years. And you know what?! I became an English teacher and now
help people who are just like I used to be with the same passion as Mr. Weiss.
I really think that I wouldn’t be
teaching English had it not been for Mr. Weiss and his inspirational lessons.
So, looking back, I hope my experience inspires others to find ways to help the
people around them as well.
