Becoming someone that I didn't know that i want


I remembered the first time when I learned a word in English, it wasn't that bad, I thought then that that will be really easy, like if learn a new language was a piece of cake, but it was not. I've been studying English since kinder garden, and I can say that I really started to learn 5 years ago, it's not like if I didn't like the language, I just couldn't found the motivation before, or perhaps the reason is that I never had regular courses, due to I went to four different elementary schools, and my first high school levels were not good enough, sometimes by the teacher and other because of my lack of discipline.

"There's not a reason to not pay attention to your classes" that was what my mom used to said when she looked at my bad grades, not that bad but bad enough to get grounded and study more, but of course that i didn't. I began to improve my English skills thanks to my best friends, we used to listen and watch everything in English, even if I couldn't understand a thing, my progress really took off then. 

Over the time I didn’t realize that I was improving, I got into several English conversations with my best friend -who was taking advanced English courses- and he helped me, and I did do the same. But then I noticed my real weaknesses, the feared and hated grammar. Despite know the vocabulary and understand a whole song or movie. Write and put down my thoughts was always a mess, even in my native language. So I started to write some amateur poetry, and look forward to get enrolled in a regular courses at CELE. 

At that time I was teaching math, physics, history, chemistry and basic English to high school students. That was really shocked for me, by the reason of I never thought on being a teacher, I didn't like the profession, I mean it's not bad but I just never before thought  myself as that. Nowadays, I know that I have a lot to learn about how to be a teacher and how to structure and put down my words, I'm really interested in being a language teacher in the future, and use it for other projects. So I get into French classes, and right know I'm in writing courses to know better how express myself properly.

Why settle with one language, major or job?, out there are tons of opportunities to learn something new and I know that it's a long way to do what i really want, but right now I'm just enjoying, benefit and work on my skills.

    Moms always have reason :). Eventually we become more conscious and started to hear our parents, even do not share similar points of view.

    Hey Ivan, that was a totally unexpected story.

    I'm might have to tell you that I shared the joy of teaching too, but I´ve never had the pleasure to do it for a considerable amount of time.

    And I think for most of the Mexican population it's quite difficult to find valuable English classes. I passed through a lot of English schools and I found that CELE is a high quality place and the price is the best part, nevertheless the thing that I appreciate the most is the university environment.
    Keep on with your aims...

    good luck!!!
