Start Your First Day Teaching With A Smile

First Day of Work

It is natural to fear the unknown. The first day of work regardless of the position is a venture into the unknown.

We have all been there; dressing our best to make a great first impression; being anxious to meet our new colleagues and hoping that they won’t turn into devils four weeks later.  The wishes, the prayers, and hopes of being able to use your skills to the best of your abilities.

The One Size Fit all Solution

In all new situations one must have an open mind and a positive attitude. This mood will make it easier for you to manifest a smile.

A TEFL/TESOL teacher must always remember the importance of a smile. A smile will put both you and your students at ease. Simply put, a smile is a serum to remove self-doubt.

Winning Attitude

Zig Ziglar says it best, “your attitude will determine your altitude.” I have a friend who absolutely believes this. She says a positive approach will definitely result in a positive outcome. My friend further states that nothing great has ever been achieved with a pessimistic mind. Don’t allow your fears to stop you from stepping into a bright future. Use your fears to propel you.
