CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hi,everyone, this is Sylvia Xiang, when you encounter a girl who's passionate about teaching English and learning, who's crazy about traveling, who's friendly to make friends with the people around the world, that would be me---Sylvia.
Normally there's never anything gossip-worthy about my life, but that all changed when I decided to be an English teacher in the Englsih institution.
In truth, my oral Englsih sucked when I was a freshman, but I love English so much, I was eager to change it, and then I attended some oral English courses, it's getting better and better, and now I can talk to foreigners easily.And just because my teachers helped me a lot, so I wanna be a person like them, because I tasted the sweet of helping others, even though I am not perfect right now, I only teach my students some pronounciations,but everytime when I saw that they made progress, I felt so happy, and what's more, I am insisting on learning, never too late to learn,I am enriching myself everyday, I believe nothing is impossible to a willing heart,it's just because the happiest thing is helping others.
Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away. When I was teaching, it took my breath away; when I witnessed the progress of my students, it took my breath away; when I am experiencing new things, new people, it takes my breath away! How nice it would be to get accepted of my couchrequest! LOL!
Except teaching and learning, I am really crazy about traveling, I experienced travling alone, once I wanna travel, even I was alone, I just pack up and go. Life is all about trying to make up your mind, enjoy that moment, life is too short, time is too precious!
Enjoying my life, enjoying making friends with others, enjoy travling, and enjoying helping others! This is me, I am Sylvia, hope to get accepted of my couchrequest!
Anyway, let's cherish every single minute, and everyone in our life.

PHILOSOPHY

My life is so beautyful, I enjoy every minute in my life, no matter I will suffer some sorrow from it, but this is life, I will smile to it! And my parents love me, and raised me up, a lot of people helped me, I wanna show my gratitude to this word, to the nature, to the people, to everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing that amazed others is that I took the train from one city to another city for learning English for 20 months. This is the only thing I insist on for such a long time, for pursuing my dream---conquer English, and during this period, I was always alone. I am a tough girl, ha, LOL!
