Well, I'm proud to share my achievement. This is my international CELTA certificate, which gives teachers the right to be international teachers and use this certificate wherever they go to work. The course took place in Turkey. It lasted four weeks, starting on the 3rd of August, and we celebrated our achievements on the 30th of August. It was a very challenging period because I only slept a total of 16 hours that month. Though the work was difficult, I managed to accomplish it with significant results, and I feel proud of myself because I could manage my time. I was very successful in completing my assignments. My teaching was evaluated through six hours of teaching practice. At each of our sessions, we received feedback from experienced instructors, which was also a delightful experience for us. We could benefit from their experience and knowledge. So, I'm proud of myself.
