· Why did you choose to be an educator?
è I have to be the most honest and admit I did not choose to be a teacher or plan it by any means; when I finished high school, I was very interested in English culture more than anything, that was music, movies, holidays and traditions and so on, and after a thoughtful period of reflection on what I wanted, and my dad wanting me to study an engineering degree I chose to study a degree in foreign languages. Which today I consider one of the best decisions of my life, so in a reflective exercise I dare to state I did not choose my profession because it chose me! And the reason for this could be to be to become what I have become and what I will keep becoming in the future; more human, more comprehensive, more mature and more conscious.
· What do you like the most about your profession?
è
I love
the fact is not a static profession, teaching requires investigating, learning,
proposing, leading, acting, singing, sacrificing, enjoying, and so many other
things I could make a really long list of the things I have experience myself.
I tend to get bored and distracted easily, and when I find not passion on what
I do, I simply loose interest, but teaching keeps me active, thoughtful,
creative, helpful, collaborative and even stressed which drives me to problem
solving. That is what I love the most about my profession.
· What is the greatest satisfaction you have had as a teacher?
è
Probably
the smile of a kid or young kid when developing an activity I designed, the gratitude
for the experience and knowledge they have discovered with my help, the
recognition of my employer and work team after a year of hard work. Those are
some of the greatest satisfactions I have personally had.
· In your opinion: What is the sense of being an English teacher?
è
Opening
boarders, it is difficult to have students interested on a language that is not
theirs, but when you make them conscious about the relevance of knowing how to
express and understand ideas in a new language to express themselves in an
English or even a non-English speaking country, they eventually would understand
the relevance and the power of having the ability to cross boarder lines with a
language.
