Blog Session 2 Sample Post Why I choose this career


I remember when I was in High School I wasn't sure what to choose as a career. I was 17 years old and I thought that was an important decision... So, when I graduated I only studied English for a year and saved money. I studied English because one of my options was English Literature but I knew that if in the end I didn't decide to study that English was going to help.
I finally found out there was a technical degree to study Translation and I entered. The name of the degree was traductora inglés-español/ español-inglés and I don't regret because translating is interesting and it helped me understanding how important was to read a "good" translation of a book for example. We learnt a lot about Grammar but also about so many fascinating topics...
Then, as I spoke and knew the Grammar of both languages I started working as a private teacher. I studied with children, young adults and adults until one day I found a programme to became a professional teacher. That took me three more years so I also graduated as an English teacher and because of that I usually work with teachers from other countries, who are interested in learning Spanish; I enjoy teaching Spanish as much as I enjoy teaching English.
Being a teacher is really fun and interesting and I can't imagine my life without teaching because I like learning about languages of course, but also about how the human brain learns a language.
