自我介绍zì wǒ jiè shào
- My name is Mrs. Ping Yuan. I was born in Suining, Hunan province, south China. It is a small,quiet and beautiful city surrounded by beautiful flowers and evergreen trees. There is a river winding through the city. Rice is the main agricultural product. The main industry is paper making since there are so many trees there. People there enjoy their peaceful life without frantic pace. It is a place that always brings back good memories no matter where I am.
- I have two children: Crystal and Daniel, a girl and a boy. The Chinese character “good” consists of both characters of “girl” and “boy”. In this sense, I am truly blessed. I am told that people in the U.S. call the family with a boy and a girl “one million dollars family”. In this sense, I am rich .
- I finished my teacher certificate program from Hunan Normal University, China, in July 1989; and my American teacher certificate program from Michigan State University in may, 2012. I obtained my second master degree of MATC (Master of Arts in Teaching and Curriculum) from Michigan State University in August 2012.
- This year is my 18th year of teaching: 10 years of college teaching in China and 8 years of teaching in the U.S. I used to be a teacher in the Business School of Hunan University for 10 years. The University is located in Changsha, the capital city of Hunan Province, south China. I took the first place in the University teaching competition. I was awarded the second prize for teaching achievement and excellent teaching prize by the University in 1993.
- In 2015, I was awarded the Professional Development award of Chinese Teacher by Cheng & Tsui Company. I published an essay on shared reading in October, 2015, K-12 Chinese Language Teaching.

- I truly believe that a teacher’s belief is very important, which will guide their daily teaching. "Great teachers instruct, exceptional teachers inspire." I strive to be a good teacher and to transmit my passion to my teaching.
- I enjoy sewing , knitting, shopping and gardening work. Teaching and gardening are two jobs of love for me.
- I did not realize how much I was blessed when I was with my family members in my home town. I Hope I can spend the rest of my life back there after retirement. I know it is hard and may not be realistic. But everybody has dreams. This is one of my dreams. Cherish what you have at present because you can not have the time back when it is gone.
