Lo Yun Seo/ Classification Essay/ Tue 9am

  All famous people have something in common. Among them, the most significant thing is that all they have a dream. Furthermore, to realize that dream, they have always tried to make a number of efforts. In addition, they have done their best to possess abilities for their potential career. In my case, I have an earnest dream that I always aspire for a long time. Someday I want to be an economics professor. So to achieve my dream I must possess skills for my future career. Here are the three abilities that I must possess in order of importance. And I will also explain whether I posses it or not now.

The most important skill needed to succeed in teaching students is the ability to be confident in front of a lot of students. Can you imagine that a professor is teaching economics very energetically, but the professor is too shy to be understood the lecture by students? Everybody thinks that the professor chooses the wrong profession. So developing confidence is the most significant skill in my dream. In my case, I am lacking in confidence doing presentation in front of other peoples. So In my college life, I have to learn not to be shy in front of a lecture desk for my future. For developing more and more confidence, I have always made presentation related to my team project in front of a number of audiences in my economic lectures. For example, last semester, I did six team project presentations in my university. If I do these experiences in my school life, my fear about being lack of confidence will be gone away.

The second most important ability is the skill to teach students. As everybody well knows, the professor’s bounden duty is teaching. I think that the best professor is not the person who has a lot of knowledge, but teaches people competently. I suppose that I have a good ability in teaching someone. For example, I had taught middle school students for volunteer work when I was a high school student. One of my students had very poor grade in particularly social subject at the first time that we met. But after we had studied for one year, the student got ‘A’ for social studies. So I believe that I already have the skill to teach someone.

Computer skills are valuable but are the least important ability needed to be a professor. Computer abilities are not vital to be a professor. But if you have these skills, you can have opportunities to improve efficiencies. Let’s suppose there are two economics professors. One is a computer literate and the other is not. All of a sudden, the professors want to give some assignments to their students. In this case, the former professor just writes on the class’ blog about assignments. That’s it. But the latter professor who does not have knowledge to use blog maybe texts messages to all the students or calls the students. The methods are exceedingly cumbrous. So I consider that it is useful for me to posses the computer skills. In my case, I already have proficient computer abilities. I already got three certifications be associated with computer skills. So If I really make my dream come true, I do not worry about computer abilities.

For now I introduce three abilities that the economics professors obtain. The most important skill is being confident in front of students. Furthermore the second ability that the career need is teaching other people well. And the useful skill is computer skills. I already have considerable skills in teaching other people and using computer. But I consider that I am lack of confidence to stand in front of students. So I must overcome shyness to achieve my dream. For that, I will try to do more and more presentation in front of other students in my college day.

  1. From Yujin Song to Lo Yun Seo

    1. Yes. All famous people have a dream, make effort and tried to have the required abilities.

    2. Yes. "Here are the three abilities that I must possess in order of importance. And I will also explain whether I posses it or not now."

    3. Yes, each body paragraph has a distict category in order of importance.(confidence, skill to teach students, and computer skills)
    So it is easy to understand and catch the writer's point.

    4. Yes, each paragraph has the supporting details and give explanations. I especially like the writer's own story related to each category.

    5. Yes.

    6. Yes, I think there is a general statement.

    One thing I wonder is the meaning of the sentence "Everybody thinks that the professor chooses the wrong profession" in the first paragraph. It would be better if you make your point clearer.
