I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!! as a youngster I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best option.
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 because if I had selected a translation career, for instance, probably I would have already been stressed from all the stillness and little dynamism of a job behind the computer.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job. I enjoyed it a lot at first, leaving work, going home and not having anything else to do was somewhat rewarding 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
I think teaching and having contact with the students is really a wonderful job!
ResponderBorrarTeacher, you have very clear the ideas for the future!, but the important thing is that you are doing what you like in the present!
ResponderBorrarLearn in other country must be interesting and fun, I hope that your plans will be successful!
ResponderBorrarTeaching is one of the best professions!
ResponderBorrarAlso I would like to go to another country to get better as a professional as you!
ResponderBorrarA teacher who knows that he will do in his future, that is vocation!
ResponderBorrarI think that go to another country to study should be a really exciting and wonderful experience (and a kinda frightening too).
ResponderBorrarI would like to study outside too, I am sure Netherlands is a very good option. I hope you can study some day there.
ResponderBorrarMy mom is also a teacher, so I ´ve always think that teaching is a one of the best profession and one of most admirable for me.
ResponderBorrarI really appreciated the work of a teacher, because they spend much of their time to teach in the best way possible, to their students. It’s good to know that you followed road.
