Education Autobography

Probably my story didn't start like many of you who decided study this degree because you liked English or because you wanted to travel around the world and you want to learn the language to communicate with other people.

Well, I will tell you how I decided to study this degree but first I am going to explain my experience with the English subject. I studied in a public school until ninth grade where the teacher could know a lot about English but his teaching methodology was not the best; he dedicated to writing sentences in Spanish on the board and students will translate to English that it all. Also, the grade note in English depended more on the behavior and how to relate in a respectful way with the teacher, instead of what you know about English. It is the reason because in ninth I still did not know the verb to be. Then, for ten and eleven grades, I changed from another school. So I entered to media technical in English, but I did not present the admission exam. When the first class began I remembered that the teacher spoke most of the time in English, and in my previous school, my teacher did it in Spanish. Which affected my performance in comparison to the other students, I did not understand almost anything. 

Even if I try and review I never really got good grades, I confess that I hated English. With the passing of the time, I remember that my teacher called my parents for a school meeting, and she told them that the best thing they could do was retire me of the technical because I could fail the school year. I looked at my parent I said I hadn't been striving for a year and a half so that I finally had to give up everything. So my parents supported me and paid me a private English teacher. Ironically, I improved considerably, and in the icfes tests, it was the most hight scored. So as a personal challenge I decided to study English. But in the process of learning through the degree, I discover that teaching it is something that I love, obviously, there are moments inside the classroom like class management that become desperate but I would not change for anything to be able to give a little of my knowledge to my students is really satisfying.
