My Dream Job: Teaching English Abroad
Magali Gray’s background
Why did you choose Beloit?
I did not get to visit campus before committing, so the lovely campus was not a part of my decision, but I liked Beloit because it was a small college very far from home, and it seemed to have very good study abroad programs, which is something I want to do. The admissions staff was also super friendly and communicative when I was learning more about Beloit, and that helped me commit.
What is your dream job?
What is your biggest challenge to reaching your dream job?
My biggest challenge is actually getting to a point in my academics where I am qualified to work somewhere and finding a country and school that I can teach in. I have a friend about to leave for an English teaching job in Korea, and she has shared a lot of the struggles of getting hired and communicating with all the different agencies.
What do you want Beloit to help you with your dream job?
Credit: Magali's friendI want to learn how to actually teach people, especially people from different cultures, languages, and different ways of learning as that’s possibly what I will end up doing. And I hope I can find some connections or resources too, people who have experience or knowledge about what I want to do.
