Hi, my name is Samuel Johnson. I was
born in London from immigrant parents and I did the CELTA course at London Stafford
House to become an English teacher. When I finished it, I was over the moon despite
having thought I had played with fire as I never imagined how it could change
my life. However, I didn’t have an option because I needed a breath of fresh
air since I was interested in a career change.
The tip of the iceberg was that
my unemployment fund, which was a drop in the ocean for bearing my family costs
but useful, was going to be over. Hence, I wasn’t going to be able to keep my
head above water soon to support my family since I am the householder.
After having unsuccessfully applied for different job vacancies in London in spite of being a native speaker, I decided to do it for an abroad job pool. Until one day, I happened something out of the blue: I was considered for the position as an English teacher in Vietnam, so I realised I had to be down to earth if I wanted to earn money; therefore, I accepted.
Nowadays, I am living as happy as
Larry in Ho Chi Minh city with my wife and my kid, though I miss London.
Conversely, only the destiny will indicate me if I will remain in Vietnam, go
back to London or be somewhere else.
