About Me
Hi my name is Charlotte. I am nearly 21, and I am interested in the China Internship TEFL course. I finished school and went to Portsmouth University to study English Language, unfortunately however my dreams were cut short when I got placed with some awful housemates, which bullied me until I left. Afterwards I was in a dilemma of what I wanted to do. I have always loved English since an early age. Originally I wanted to be a Journalist or an English teacher, but in this day and age decided to scrap my dreams and try and obtain what my mother would call a 'REAL' job - boring and decent pay. My parents persuaded me to go for nursing, which I have completed one year of. Then I turned around and thought to myself - WHAT AM I DOING? I am not living the life I want. I am living my life through my parents wishes, and was afraid of failing their expectations as a daughter. Leaving University for a second time was one of the hardest decisions of my life. All I want from life is happiness, and money cannot buy that. I don't feel like a failure. I CAN go to University, I know I can do it, but I don't want to. It doesn't make me any less clever, I just want to live my life, and I hope a TEFL course can bring out the best in me. If anyone here has any tips on travelling and having the guts to take that big step then please feel free to send me a message. Also if you have experience the China Internship course, I would love to know more. Peace Out.

Are you looking to work in China?
Do you want to work with Kindergarten children?
Do you want a good Salary?
Do you want weekends off and two ½ days?
If you do, please contact me today. Our kindergarten needs teachers for the new semester starting September. We also have vacancies in our training centers. We are based in GuangZhou, Dongguan, and Foshan all in Guangdong Province, China.
Our school is called CIEO (Canadian International Education Organization)
If you want more details then please get in touch, If you know someone who might be interested then please forward this to them.
If you can’t start September don’t worry, you can still apply as we need teachers throughout the year!
All the best,
Robert
Heya, thanks for the message. Well done for taking the first step in heading abroad! I have not once regretted my decision to do the TEFL course and teach in China. It's been the best experience - despite the fact I pretty much emptied my bank account to be here! Worth it. Feel free to ask any questions. Good luck with it all! x
im honored to have a friend. you have quite the philosophical 'about me' section. i just spent one year and a half training to be an officer in the air force until they told me i was too much of a dreamer for them. things always change, but you seem to have got that badge from life.
hows the course going? you paid for it yet?
Hi Charlotte, No problem - just let me know if you have any questions about anything. Zoe :)
Hi Charlotte,
Welcome to Chalkboard! That's cool you're thinking of doing the Teach in China Internship - what about it appeals to you?
To get you started on the site you might want to chat to these girls who have just finished the internship program, as they'll be able to give you a good insight into what it's like:
