Things happened in this summer

In the last few weeks of summer break, there was something happened; losing students, having problems opening a new class, and not getting the job I applied in Hess. Those have frustrated me lately.

I never knew that marketing is that important in my career until I found that the other English teacher in community college can always have new students every semester. I thought that only if I had my own style of teaching and I could let my students enjoy my teaching, make them learn something from me, it is enough for me.

However, this semester, I found that I don't get as many students as I used to. Brenna, one of my beloved students told me I should spend more time working on my introduction and the curriculum in the beginning of the semester. I told her that when the students come, they will enjoy the class and know that they can really learn English without too much pressure. But, Brenna told me one thing awakes me. She said, "yes, if they come". "But according to your introduction which hasn't really changed much these two years, I wonder how many will want to come."

So, the curriculum for next semester need to be handed before September 15th, I will make it better and more attractive.
