After I finish getting my Bachelor's early next year, I'm going to put my teaching certification and going for my MA on hold and try working as an ALT. At least I already have experience with working as an Assistant Teacher now and I enjoy it for the most part. The downside is that you can't really choose which level students you'd like to work with, but I still enjoy it, and working as an ALT, just seems like such a nice opportunity to learn how to work with different types of children with various backgrounds and cultures since jobs like that are usually overseas. I also find that it'd be nice to have the opportunity to embrace a whole 'nother culture. It has to be incredibly intriguing and exhilarating as well as educational! ^_^

I really do hope that I can get into JET for 2009. I also hope that I can get placed in the northern region...like say Hokkaido.
