Growing in a low-income district of El Sayeda Zainab in Cairo was a blessing for me.I
learned the value of family and was sheltered by a small community of relatives and
friends.I became a level-headed hardworking man,but I always felt a bit different.I'm a
thinker,but not one to think out loud.I want to know everything,but realize that nothing
can ever be known for sure.I believe that nothing is absolute,but I can absolutely defend
my beliefs.
It was all started when I applied to a job position of English teacher at Amideast,then I
realised that I have finally found myself and my career of interest after three years of
career shift.I was greatly influenced by my mentor who was a brilliant teacher.She
inspired me to approach the deep meaning of teaching.
Once,I started my career as a teacher,I was hurdled by many obstacles like teaching
methodologies,classroom management.....etc.Thus,I decided to enhance my teaching
skills by the TEFL diploma and a master program which helped me a lot in better understanding of
teaching.
The majority of my students are adults and they are English illiterates,so I've learned how
to be patient and how to motivate them throughout the course with various activities.I
feel proud when one of my students speaks fair english in a short period of time.
English language is my life's passion and I could ask for nothing more than to spend the
rest of my life trying to instill this same passion to the students I teach.For me the language is not
just a set of grammatical rules and vocabulary,it's a real life and therefore full of emotions and
controversial views.
In conclusion,I think it's my opportunity through the E-Teacher Scholarship Program to put across
my teaching potentials which I believe it would be improved by the programme.
