introduce
SJ: I teach MYP math this year, Years 7 and 8. And I'm also a Year 7 advisor. This is my fourth year of teaching and I started my teaching career at CIS four years ago. I left to another school in Hong Kong, and then came back. XH: Did you always want to be a teacher like growing up? Or did you have other aspirations? SJ: No, I've always wanted to be an engineer. So I actually pursued engineering first. So that was my first I guess, career before I became a teacher. But looking back, I think teaching has been part of my life for a while now, because I actually got into helping and tutoring as part of my service learning, actually, in my high school years. So what I did was I volunteered at a nearby elementary school when I was in high school. And I did that three times a week, every morning before my classes started, for almost three years. And I knew from that experience, how much I really enjoyed helping others learn. And I felt very, I thought that the experience was very rewarding.
