Oral III-Self-introduction

Present Date:2006/10/3

Good evening, everyone. Tonight, I want to share my story to you and wish all of you will know me clearer than before. As you know, I am a devout Christian so you may think I am a moral woman that I won’t make any mistake or unmerciful to people. But actually, I did many mistakes like cheated in exams, go after fame and wealth and judge people without mercy and so on. The following message, I will illustrate how I weak by some story.

Since I was a child, I always being fascinated with high-heel shoes and suit dresses like an office lady, and my idea job was to be a professional manager. After I grew up, I worked very hard to succeed. Finally, I did. I really was a public relation manager of a business company. But I wasn't happy at that time. A growing sense of dissatisfaction with my work and made me keep asking, “Why I am here?” and “What I really love to do for a job?” I started to search for my gifts and God's plan. Last year, I visited a developed country with my church's short-term mission team. The kids, standing in front of me, had an innocent face but without education. I really enjoyed being with them but sorrowed for them and kept asking, “What could I do for them?” Now, I find my gift is ease in working with children and liking to be a story teller. So, my ideal new job is to be social worker or a teacher for children and now I am studying English in NTUST to increase my language skill and I will take some psychology courses on children counseling. to add my professionalism. I think I will meet the country children again and tell Bible stories to them some day.

One of my mistake is about cheating. Do you remember Angela took a idiom test at the first semester? It’s a hard test for everyone, right? I have to confess my sins in that test. I took a quick look at Lillian's paper and I actually to wrote the answer "the six sense" which I shouldn't know on my paper. It was very shame on me to do that thing and God remind me have to confess my sins after I finished Bible study and pray on the next Thursday. I feel that I was a liar just like the Bible.

The feeling make me very uncomfortable without peace. So I decided to confess my wrongdoing to Angela. Thanks God, Angela forgave me and encouraged don't be too hard on myself. After that, I got harder on her class even though I know I would get a lower grade at the semseter. And the second semester I got 10 more points than the first one.

I think most of you don’t like teacher 強, neither do I. Last Monday, I went to MRT station through NTU campus with Amber, Indy, and Sylvia. There were one or two dogs also walking in the campus. We were walking and talking with joy and peace. Suddenly, “Won, won, won...” the dog barked loudly at one bicycle rider. And Indy said “That’s 小強” At that moment, I turned my eye to the direction from Indy’s finger point to. I began to shot and said “Oh, yes! Great! He must be a bad guy, so the bog barked at him but not the others. He should deserve the barking.” Everybody laughed just like you. But Indy laughed and asked ”Rita, I was said you are a devout Christian, why are you so merciless to 小強?” Oh, oh. I answered “I am just a human not God, so I need the Lord to teach me and guide me everyday by his words.
So, please don’t think I will be a noble people, I just a weak and have been failed in the first phase of my life. Like cheating, running after money and famous and judging people without mercy, there are so many flaws that I need God’s rules and direction in the rest of my life.
