Teaching in a City Versus Teaching in a Rural Area

Uploaded by longquoc88 on Mar 18, 2008

I grew up in an urban area, studied there for twelve years, and then moved to a big city to pursue my teaching career at a university of education. That day, before going to the school, I promised to myself and to my parents that I would return and bring the light of knowledge to my hometown . However, things have changed. After studying so hard and graduating, I applied for a post in a school for the gifted in the city, not the place where I have still been waited.
