As a marathoner for language learning and teaching, now I am really happy to cross finally the finish line of MA TESOL course over the past two and half years even though the race was so tough. When thinking back to the previous elective courses and the practicum course, different types of emotions that I have felt such as pleasant, confident, confused, frustrated, and fascinated come to my mind. Even though sometimes I had hard time running toward the finish line of this course, I was able to run toward the finish line and cross it thanks to the help and support of professors who gave me positive feedback, which in turn led me to perform better.

Now, I am waiting for an award for my efforts to improve my teaching skill in order to teach students language in an efficient way and preparing the meaningful lesson for my future students. As a winner of the long distance race, I will try to make students to be winners of a long language learning race of learning , participating in their learning actively and teaching them in a meaningful way as a proficient teacher.
