This semester was an adventure for me, I know we are in a restrictive scenery, despite I can say I survive this new challenge…
Like any journey has highs and lows, my life was a mess when I choose to change my course so I wasn’t sure at all if teaching was my calling but in the way, I discover that I choose wisely.
Group works, online social calls, homework, and tests, I find out that I had good classmates, study in groups made me my better version. Thanks to all the feedback I can correct my mistakes and improve my English every day.
Mister Pizarro, I know you are reading this, at first, your class wasn’t my favorite (before you discount points), I learn how important is because is multifaceted, a phoneme can be expressed with different intonations depends on the speaker language of origin. So, in the end, I notice that I will be double the work but at the last year, I will see that study hard for your class worth it and made me a better teacher.
I appreciate all my teachers because all of you teach me things that will be part of my profesional identity in the future, Miss Urrutia said to us ” Keep calm and be flexible” I wrote down that quote because is the symbol of the teaching work you need to be prepared for everything and everyone too.
I will confess something for me Master Aragú is like Yoda of English, he teaches us how to organize our ideas, how to improve our pronunciation, gets us out of our comfort zone, shows us how to think as a teacher to be in all situations. I feel like a Yedi apprentice learning how to use the force when each test he put in front I try to pass it, in the end I am better and stronger.
English was in me always, but I just see it when I had 14 then I meet the first teacher that truly believed in me, once I learned how to speak it, a lot of stories started to guide my fingers on my keyboard, the lyrics of the songs, books, and series unconsciously get translated and I meet new people in their own language.
I think that I know how to speak English but the reality is that there are so much to learn, this subject of study is alive so we need to study all the time to keep track of it, each day I am closer of my final goal.
To conclude this experience was exciting, complex, demanding but rewarding because I learn new things about myself and the language every day…
