*Chinese Teacher*
*Why did you decide to become a teacher?
“Because I like to be with young people. They are full of potential, and I feel young when I’m teaching them.”
*How do you deal with a stressful situation?
“I work out; I kick box, run, and swim.”
*What is your most interesting, high school memory?
“I remember it being very stressful with lots of exams, so it wasn’t much fun.”
*If you could have a different job, what would it be?
“I used to work in international business and would travel to different places and meet new people so maybe something to do with that.”
*What was your funniest teaching moment?
“One time, I had a student who thought Japan was in China.”
*What’s your biggest setback in life?
“When students don’t follow instructions and they fail, I begin to think of other ways I could make the situation better.”
*If you could change one thing in the school, what would it be?
“Change the rules for phones to make them stricter because students’ brains are still developing, and they rely too much on technology.”
*Do you have any advice for the students of Brooklyn?
“Focus in class, and enjoy the time you have while you are young.”
