The World that You Come From

[Name of the institute]The World that You Come From

A racquet, net, and shuttlecock are my personal weapons of choice, and badminton is my game. They led me to the moment in which I found myself panting and running on an endless track, before I started my day teaching young aboriginal children to play badminton, in English. The terms of each move ran through my head again, a final revision of today's lesson. A sense of excitement and adrenaline rushed through my body as I came to a stop, and prepared myself for these children. This shows my passion and the place from where I belong. A place where helping others is the passion of people and to embrace this passion people adopt innovative ways.

While talking about living your passion, I consider this experience of teaching English to aboriginal children through badminton sessions as remarkable achievement of mine. To have the children learn English in an interesting way, I decided to teach it by coaching them in badminton. This method motivated the children, and attracted their attention. I started by teaching basic conversational English as my primary theme for the instructions. What I lacked in teaching expertise, I made up for with my experience in badminton.

I paid extra and individual attention to him. Gradually and slowly I observed a change in his personality. With my coaching session he began to learn English and it was causing impact on his life. I remember that he cried and hugged me when he brought positive remarks of his instructor to show me. It was my diminutive deed that has caused an immense impact on someone's life. This experience taught me how much I enjoy helping others. By undergoing this experience in coaching children both in badminton and English, I became more attuned to my strengths and my passion for lending a helping hand to others also blossomed. In this experience of teaching children, problems of variegated nature stand in front of me as a wall of obstacle but, I tumbled down this wall with my courage and enthusiasm. One of the main problems that I had to face was translating the Chinese into ...
