Thần Báo (Panther Squarand) My Ideal Job Pham Van Ban Everything I did, I agreed to do with love. Those peoples I accepted, I accepted with love. Those I turned away or helped find alternatives. So much of the job was coming from my heart and caring for one another. Working for a humanitarian organization is as important to me as having the ideal duties. Daily, I could do anything to help my family. But how much is enough? Whose needs come first? Whom should I help anyway? Victims of natural disasters, senior citizens or battered children. Those close to me get an immediate hearing. I help out for all kinds of reasons; it is a matter of love. I am sometimes sitting alone at home and lost in self-pity, when the phone rings with a call from a police who needs a volunteer interpreter. I drive my car to be there with him or her and help people to interpret their statements. When I am done, I go home and feel with a little of sacrifice in our community; it is a matter of love. As an intern, part of my work was to prepare and present disaster service to our community. I have accomplished some work in translating Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency information into Vietnamese and included informing the community members about the importance of disaster preparedness. In addition, I wrote a bilingual book A Memory Of Hurricane Linda last summer to provide the member with understanding and guidance about how to deal with them. I am also accomplished by attendance at all sessions of the Instructor Candidate Training, participation in task assignments and other learning activities. Therefore, my main duties should include as teaching, translating and writing. As an instructor, I really enjoy teaching a subject to people who want to learn. Learning, for me, can be defined as a process of change through which people acquire new knowledge, skills, or attitudes as a result of some type of study or experience. I think that learning occurs over time and should be considered a lifelong process or experience. If change of some kind does not occur, my teaching is ineffective. I often motivate students to acquire new information, remember it, and apply it. I told them that I always do the learning, and I learn best by being involved in the learning experience. In disaster preparedness classes, people are taught in groups and learn from reading, watching videos, observing others, listening to opinions or facts, or participating in group activities. The learning outcomes are that individuals accept change and share experiences. Within these groups, people will come with different ideas and needs. Since learning is a process of change, students may need help in accepting change. Generally, a student will learn and remember better when instruction fits his or her learning style. I must confess that I am not able to know my students beforehand or determine their learning preferences; however, using a variety of teaching methods that help me more closely meet different learning preferences. I like to look for ways to enhance or maintain students’ motivation to learn. Knowing each student by name and understanding each student’s reason for coming to my class that help me to be specific in referring certain ideas to a student’s situation. Give students recognition and respect by treating each as an individual and respecting each individual’s values. By doing this, I can positively influence their self-esteem and motivation for learning. I also like to create the mnemonic MARS (motivation, association, repetition, and senses) to help students recall the new information or the concepts of learning when they need it. Students often hear, see, and do when I teach. Especially, when I teach, the more senses I use the more I help meet students’ different learning styles. Student characteristics include education, reading ability, and language; experience; coordination, strength, and size; attitude; and health and physical fitness. Students often enjoy recounting their experiences once they are comfortable in the classroom setting. This can increase motivation for other students. So my teaching could be more effective if I learn as much about my students as possible before the course begins. I am constantly learning from other people’ examples and experiences; it is a matter of my ideal job. I am very good at interpreting an accurate idea. Each person has had a variety of experiences during his or her lifetime. For me, interpreting may be only accurate if translators know what experiences persons have to explain on as an exacting information is given. I like to consider using additional devices to promote interpreting (more audiovisuals, slower bilingual presentations) and asking frequent questions to be sure that persons talk. To be effective as an interpreter and translator, I like to use some skills may include careful listening, speaking clearly in a well-modulated voice, and using reinforcing body language. To sum up, my patience and flexibility to understand to persons’ speaking needs that it is an importance. Besides teaching and interpreting, I really enjoy writing and research. I am being alone and spend some hours per day thinking and writing. I like identifying problems and figuring out a research methodology for solving and then writing about the article. Sometime, I only see these lines of words automatically ran out on my computer-screen while I don’t know anything. After I write an article, I read it back and feel with its sound and sense. Sometime, my article with a great thought and valuable also surprises me. I want to work and help through a humanitarian organization. But my purpose of helping and the people who really need it sometimes seems to fall through the cracks. At this time, I think I am “one for all” and expect my writing to relieve suffering. I remember that the Gandhi’s tomb is inscribed words: “Think of the poorest person you have ever seen and ask if your next act will be of any use to him.” It flashed through my mind with a power of Gandhi when I prepare to do something for someone, keep my options open, help out here and there. Finally, I care only about the result and create a new way to measure the result. The organization must be effective means available.
