Firstly, I never thought that being a teacher was something I wanted for my future. In fact, I wanted to study Law or Computer Science, but then I realized that English had a magnetism and a magic bond with me. At the beggining everything was so complex and difficult because I only had English classes from 5th grade up to 4th level in high school. There were times that I couldn´t sleep because of stress during weeks in which I had to take difficult tests, but you know something? If you want something in life, as the move ¨The pursuit of happyness¨ says: ¨ If you want something in life, go and get it.... period¨ and that branded me a lot. In a way, it was my everyday fuel I had to fight and prevail everything that was against me... and I DID IT !!!!!! AND I LOVE BEING A TEACHER.
As soon as I finished my undergraduate program, I knew I had the time and willingnes to keep moving on in life. As consequence, I decided to apply for a two-year Master program. IT WAS SO DIFFICULT but I did it for myself and the ones I love. After those years, I started feeling that I was missing something or that I should be setttling down on my dreams. So, I researched interesting topics to present in very imporant seminars related to English language teaching. Currently, up to now, I have presented in 5 seminars in different universities and I feel so good not only for me, but for the ones who were there since day one, for the ones who believed in my capacities and abilities to be able to teach something meaningful ..... to cause impact on my students´s lives.
Finally, due to this hard work, I´ve been given awards for 5 years consecutively in the place I work nowadays and it is amazing and beautiful to see that impact I was talking about previously. Students appreciate that and there is no better payment than that one. I love it !!!!!
