I can't say that I admire someone because I don't. What I feel is respect for certain people who have shown greatness. One of those people is my former university teacher mister Jorge Olivares Cantuarias. Little can I say about his life. I know he is married and has two children, a daughter and a son and his wife is a very nice woman. He retired in 2011, unfortunately, for the coming generations who didn't have the privilege to be one of his students. The reason I mention this particular teacher is because he has been an inspiration for my everyday teaching. Not only did he show me what a devoted teacher should be like but also, he taught me that no matter how much a teacher knows, what really counts is how you pass that information to your students..........
Another former teacher I want to mention as part of my admiration is Mrs. Berta San Martín. This is because she taught me to care for my students beyond academic issues. When I was beginning my second year at university, I almost had to quit university because my family had economic problems; the previous year my father had got seriously ill and had to have two different surgeries. The authoroties of that university just shrugged their shoulders and told me they were sorry for me but they could not do anything about it. I remember that Mrs. San Martin was really concerned about my problem and gave me some advice to help me. I could feel her support. I never mention any of this before, so I think, it is time to bring justice and state out loud. Thank you, Mrs. San Martin your support meant a lot to me.
Here is Mrs. San Martín, attending a seminar. She is the one wearing a purple sweater.
