I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?"… And here I am!!
I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people.
From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore, I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different than me and my friends and family. With teaching languages, I have been able to do all the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I decided to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up on PHD studies in the field of Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it either in the Netherlands, Switzerland and/or England.
I would like to do it in those countries, well, in the two first ones because they have a long history of successful multilingualism and because they are definitely good at languages. England on the other hand, would be my last choice, and this is because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and please, no offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who speaks only one language? […] you call them British"...LOL
Hi, teacher. What places have you known? And how is the strangest person that you met?
ResponderEliminarHi!
ResponderEliminarWhy do you consider social change important?
you don't know how much I understand. Once I had an office job and could only work for 3 months, I felt drowned in that space. Congratulations on doing what you like best!
ResponderEliminarHi teacher! It´s great to be able to teach. Congratulations for your degree.
ResponderEliminarhi teacher! wich university would you do your PhB?.
ResponderEliminarEngland have good universities.
Hi, I´m happy to know you took the right choice with your studies. I think vocation is very important.
ResponderEliminarI like you history about why do you choose this career. I feel that have passion for your profession.
ResponderEliminarHi, i think your joke is not funny because to learn other languajes goes beyond or partisan interests.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher, I hope that your dreams come true and you can study in those countries

Hi teacher, I believe your election was correct because we learned so much with you, though the class period were very short.
