I can’t believe that one day I will become a lecturer. That is my first job after finishing my studies is at Vision College. I’m so happy but at the same time I was hit by my nervousness when teaching in front of students. On my first class, I don’t know what should I do, how to deliver a good lecture and how to attract students' attention. But all the staffs in Vision always give me support and tips how to improve my teaching skills. Therefore, I improve my skills and at the same time enhance my knowledge day after day.

I’m happy working in Vision College. Small number of students in class, make me feel very close to the students. Besides teaching, I become my student’s listener and advisor to their problems. I consider my students as my sister and brother because some of them came far away from their family. They had no one to listen and share their problems. Therefore, I take the responsibility not only as their lecturer, to guide and help them in their studies, but also as a sister to them by giving motivation and support.

As a lecturer, I want my class to be cheerful and joyful rather than a dull and bored class. I make some joke and fun activities in my class so that my students won’t be bored and sleepy. Besides lecture, I create many activities such as crossword puzzle, wheel of fortune, hang-man, drama, etc. From these activities, I encourage my students to participate and therefore enjoy learning in the class.
Besides being a lecturer, I am also an advisor for Community Club in Vision College. This club provides opportunities to improve one’s leadership skills, networking opportunities, performs community service and offers various fun social opportunities. The main activity for this Community Club is blood donation campaign. Every year, this club will organize a blood donation campaign in Vision College. The purpose of this campaign is to heighten blood donation awareness and increase the amount of supply in the blood bank. With this activities, students can fill their spare time with the beneficial activities and give them a new knowledge.
For me Vision College give me a lot of experience in the work field. I wish this college growth professionally in the health science fields in the future
as the motto said ‘Inspiring Healthcare Professionals’.
