why a teacher?
Sometimes I think: how do I get here?I remember that when I was younger I didn´t have a clue of what to do with my life, because the only thing that I liked was music and just music and nothing more than music.Yes, I knew at that time that music is something beautiful but it is really difficult to make money with it.so when I finished secondary school I was thinking what to do,what to study because my mother wanted me to go on studying and to be a professional.I have always have a skill or hability to learn english,it was very easy for me to get the meaning when I listened to a song in english:it was like the words and the sounds of the language sticked in my brain.I have never studied english formally in my life,I only made a course studying english at home.When I entered in the university I hadnt realized yet that I was there to become a techer;at that time I just wanted to study english and that was all,without thinking any further.The university was very difficult for me, I couldn´t get the pace of the carrer so I decided to quit.For a short time I was working for a drugsote;the job was not good so after a time I quitted.After this my mother encouraged me to start studying again and I chose to go to a terciary institution.So here I am,trying to become a teacher of english.Now I realize that I want to be a techer,not only because I love english(not only english,I would like to be a teacher of literature also)but I like teaching,and I think that the world needs more teachers.A techer can affect your life in a very powerful way.We have to be aware that as prostective teachers we have a huge responsability because we are dealing with people.It´s in our hands to try to leave the best of ourselves in them,because they will be the society of the future.I think that one of the greatest things about teaching is that we can be an inspiration for people,we can change a life and make them feel that they are useful and that they can achive all they want.A teacher gives the tools to their students and encourage them to be better,not only better profesionals but better people.If I could only reach someone´s mind and soul,and trying to help him or her to overcome difficulties and to grow as a person,I would be satisfied.
