Sample answer
Well, to be totally honest with you, I might have to say that I always wanted to be in any profession except for teaching, for I reckoned it as a challenging job. However, life is full of surprises and when i was a sophomore at my university, a freshman came to me for help when he was assigned to make a presentation in class while he hadn’t done one before. He was one of the members in our department of the Students’ Union when I was the department head. So I felt that I was obliged to give him a hand.
He needed to use the software, Powerpoint to make his presentation slides. However, just as I said, he was totally new to the presentation thing and it took a long time for me to teach him. I had to repeat the same thing over and over again before he knew how to insert texts and images. After we finished making the presentation slides, I had to teach him how to make a public speech in front of a bunch of people as he had never done so. This was where the rub was. He was such a shy boy that the thought of standing in front of the public made himshiver. Therefore, I had to spend a lot of time encouraging him and motivating him. Besides, I made him talk in front of his peers in the Students’ Union so that he could gain some confidence. After a fortnight’s preparation, his presentation was well-received and he even got an A for the assignment!
I was so proud of what he had achieved as he went from a boy who were too afraid to talk in public to a confident one who could even tell jokes! I also felt extremely fulfilled by helping him out. His success meant that our efforts were finally paid off and that really gave me a sense of accomplishment! I guess the most important thing is that I am not afraid of being a teacher now!
