I got in the “Universidad De Las Americas” in the year
The first two years were the most difficult, I was about to change my mind, there were lots of teachers that I didn’t like, due to their way of teaching, and even worst, I didn’t think that they were very good at it. The truth is that during the whole process I have found the same problem, some teachers are good, but lots of other teachers don’t. That dichotomy was bothering me a lot.
To the preceding, I can add that I wasn’t very motivated with the idea of teaching to these new generations, where you can find a lack of interest in the classes, while the teacher is trying to do the best for them to learn.
That lack of motivation was converted in a kind of fear for me, but this fear disappear completely with the first teaching practice. When I started, I realized that the choice taken two years before was the right one. This experience showed me that there is something very special at the moment of teaching, and look my self helping kids is incredibly gratifying.
The second teaching practice, was a fundamental event for me, even more than the fist teaching practice, because with this I understood the meaning of being a teacher, know how does it feels, the difficulty of stay in front of a class and teach, create a link with the students, between lots of other things that are difficult to explain completely, things that you only understand when you are living the situation. With this I could have the image of my self, being a teacher.
Today, in my fourth year of studying, my view is completely different to the beginning; the time showed me that this was the best choice I’ve ever made, now I’m much more optimistic and I realized that I really had a vocation, which tells me that the challenge is big and that the generations are always changing, but not because of that I have to quit, on the contrary, I will be working every day harder, because I am sure that I will be good at this.
