"Hypothetically, you could be teaching your own class in September..."

 The day after tomorrow, I start my teaching career.  My sponsor teacher back at Graham Bruce said that I might have my own class come September.  I didn't have enough long term vision to see that what he said was actually true.  Focusing on the situation back in Vancouver, I thought I'd be a TOC or tutor for years and years.  Heck, I even doubted that I would get hired anywhere.

Now, I am about to teach in a country, grade level, and course content that are foreign to me.  I don't hide the fact that I'm a bit nervous from all of this.  But I will do well.  I can feel it.  I am ready.  I'm a Toastmaster, and Toastmasters are never unprepared and use whatever nervousness they have (if any) to do exemplary work.
