This morning, I received a phone call from the Education Bureau. I was freak out when I heard the worker told me that I had some problems somewhere with my body and I needed to re-inspect it next Monday. This year I take a teacher recruitment examination and I passed the wirtten test part and lesson presentation part. However, I seldom thoght that there would be some problems with the last part--- physical examination. Though I am nervous and anxious now, I have to comfort myself that everything will be OK. God bless me!
