Introduction for humaira
Hi,
I'm an Indonesian. I'm 34 years old and I'm a teacher. I teach English and some other subjects in an Elementary school near my house. I have been a teacher since 2004. I was a fresh graduate at that time. Actually I'm not an English department graduation but I made myself brave to reach English. I was an unemployment after graduating from my college, and being English teacher was my only chance to get a job. So I took my bravery, pushed myself to take the opportunity. I just wanted the job as a skip-stone to the ideal job I dream before. But God had different willing with my dream. He kept me becoming a teacher till today. But it doesn't matter at all cos I love teaching though it is not my dream job.

Welcome. Your English is not too bad but you should hang out here with us Americans and it will get better.

There are so many phrases and ridiculous rules that even we don't follow them.
Less vs Fewer
That vs Which
Or how one letter changes the meaning of a word.
Beside vs Besides
And there are British and American English spelling differences.
color vs colour
And then you have regional word usage.
Gas or Gasoline vs Petrol
I'm glad I learned it as a child cause otherwise I would be forever befuddled.

You're right then..
And because language has strong relation with culture, so I am as an ESL "student" find many difficulties in expressing something using English..

It sounds like maybe that dream job of yours wasn't suited for you! If you are loving teaching, it's probably because that's where you were meant to be. Welcome to our community. Perhaps you'll find you were also meant to be part of Persona Paper too :)
