Introduction

I have always wanted to excel in academics.  My goals are to help the society by contributing in changing people in a positive way.  To me, education is a way of life as well it is a source of livelihood in terms of career achievements.  Since my childhood, I admired becoming a TESOL teacher. My family always encouraged me especially in my junior school to take studies seriously. Therefore from an early age, I looked at education as the ideal and unique opportunity to not only lead the kind of quality life I have always dreamt about, but also, as an opportunity to serve the society and make a difference.

I intend to study Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) for many reasons.  First of all, I have a passion for languages. Since my junior grades, I was keen to learn new languages and by the time I was in senior level, I could fluently speak, German, Spanish and basic Chinese. Currently I am competent in 3 international languages. This motivates me to study TESOL because I can easily grasp the needs of the learners. Coming from a predominant English language learning environment, I can easily internalize students’ needs. I can also draw from my experience of studying in an integrated class which comprised of learners with different English proficiency levels. I am also motivated by the fact that TESOL has very few competent teachers and therefore I intend to fill this gap by providing that much needed professional service.

The growing demand for people from various parts of the world to study English has also played a role in influencing me to make this noble choice. English is a leading international language used by close to 450 million people. This has created a sharp demand for TESOL teachers. Many people who would otherwise have wanted to learn English miss out on the opportunity due to lack of enough teachers. Therefore, I would really want to qualify in TESOL and move out there and assist people to achieve their goals.

Language is a powerful tool in breaking cultural barriers that has continued to be a major source of conflicts in the modern world. TESOL provides a great forum for breaking the cultural barriers. Learning of a second language opens an opportunity for more people to appreciate diversity and at the same time to appreciate cultural differences.  For me, TESOL is one avenue which has not been fully utilized in seeking to bring unity and peace in the world.

Conclusion

Studying TESOL for me will open many job opportunities in very many organizations and countries. Therefore, TESOL will greatly improve my chances of getting a lucrative job opportunity in any part of the world. I intend to serve humanity after graduating in TESOL and hope to become a cultural ambassador in that I will be able to interact with people from various parts of the world and be able to understand them in a better way. I really look forward to studying TESOL.
