Post 2: Why did I choose my major?

This could sound funny but it is true. When I was a little girl I used to play with my sister and cousins. We pretended we were at school and most of the time I played as the teacher of the school and made my sister and cousins read short stories and then answer questions about them, or other times I made them memorize a poem or song. It was something so natural for me. One thing I never doubted was my sister’s and cousins’ complete obedience, this considering that I wasn’t the oldest but somehow they thought I was the experience personified. Even though this one was one of my favorite childhood games, I never thought about becoming a teacher in the future when I was a girl. I actually never thought about any career at all. By the time I finished school I had no clue what to do. I was admitted in the physics and chemistry programme in one university (one of my strengths at school) and in the civil construction programme in another. Then I decided not to take any of those chances, I took some time off instead, you know, to find myself.

I started working on my English and then I saw the light, I could become a teacher. That was something I enjoyed doing. I took the test to enter the University again with only one purpose….to enter in the teaching training programme.

Now, being an English teacher, I am the happiest person in the world. Working for a prestigious university makes me even happier – not because of the social status -  but because it is demanding and I have to keep studying all the time, I keep learning new things from my students (psychology, sociology, arts, etc) I only wish the money aspect was better, but then again, no money can give me the satisfaction I get when I see my students learning; that’s priceless. I have never regreted my decision, what can I say? I love what I do.   

Say what you study and why you study it

Post 1: Who am I?

 Hello, hello, welcome to the first post of our blog. Here I am going to give an example of what you have to do. 

Dear readers, my name is Rosa and I am an English teacher. I was born in La Serena, Chile. Ever since I was a little girl I have lived between Santiago and La Serena. I don't feel comfortable writing about myself, I am a kind of person who prizes her privacy, but since this is a task for the class, I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am the youngest of three children, but I was not the spoiled one. I have an older brother and an older sister. I like chocolate as much as ice cream. My favorite band is Duran Duran. 

I have almost all the movies where Harrison Ford has performed. I enjoy spending time with my family. I adore my friends. On the other hand, I really destest rude and mean people. I don't like loud people either. 

Introduce yourself to the class in this blog post. Write a short autobiography. Include this information:

• Who are you?

• Where are you from?

• Tell us a little about yourself

• Tell us a little about your family, and hometown
