Blog 2: Why did you choose this career?

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well! Today we are going to talk about why you chose the career that you're studying right now.

I remember when I was younger I wanted to be a rabbi XD. I don't know why I did, but then after a while I realized that I would like to teach languages since I loved learning them myself. After the student movement 2011, I was very sure that I wanted to be a teacher. So after studying Latin American Literature, I decided to study Teaching, but I didn't know if I wanted to teach Spanish Language or English as a second language. I talked to many people and decided that it would be best to go for the second option.

So I studied in the program, Certification of English Teaching to Adults in the Institute of British-Chilean Culture in Santa Lucía. 

I am very happy with the decision I made because I love teaching English and I love to teach about the history and cultures of the English-speaking world.  






Now it's your turn:


Write about:

- your dream jobs when you were a child
- other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university
- what made you decide in the end
- your experience at university until now
- the kind of job you would like to have

    if you wanted to be rabbi, I suppose that you felt identified with the Jewish religion. Is that still the case today?

Blog 6: Favorite Movie

Imagen
Hi everyone, so today the class decided to talk about their favorite movie. Well, I would have to say that right now my favorite movie is Rogue One. Rogue One is part of the Star Stars franchise and it tells the story of Jyn Erso and Captain Cassian Andor who steal the plans of the Death Star to help the Rebel Alliance defeat the Empire. My favorite character is a tie between Jyn Erso (but I think I like her more) and Cassian Andor. I love Jyn because she is very brave and even though at first she didn't want to participate in the rebellion she ends up saying the best line of the film "rebellions are built on hope <3" and she leads the attack on the military base. Cassian Andor I like because of his complexity and his loyality to the cause. He is very loyal and believes a lot in the rebel cause even though he admits to doing things he was not proud of. The first time I saw the film was in December 2016 in the theatre with my friend, Romi. We saw it in the Estación Ce...

Blog 5: A photograph you like

Hi everyone! I hope you are well Today we're going to talk about a photo that you like. A friend of mine took this picture of me and my cat last week.  This is my cat/daughter, Idania <3. I named her Idania for Idania Fernandez, a revolutionary from Nicaragua. I was reading and Idania decided to join me and so I told my friend to come  take a picture of us because we look so adorable hahahaha. Idania is my first pet and she is really special to me. She is 1 year and 6 months old, but she is still a baby, but now she is huge. She weighs almost 5 kilos! (and I pick her up all the time and I can feel those 5 kilos) She is great company and is a very sweet cat. She is like a baby, in fact I only call her Idania when she's bad, usually I call her "guagua" because she cries for me to pick her up in my arms. I talk to her in Spanish and English just like my mom did to me when I was younger. Now it's your turn to share! Write about your photograph: Who took it...

Blog 8: A subject you enjoyed studying this semester

Imagen
Hi everyone, Today you're going to talk about a subject you enjoyed studying this semester. A subject I enjoyed a lot in university was "Caribbean Film and Literature" I thought it was an amazing course and I learned a lot. We watched films made by Caribbean film makers and read essays, novels, and short stories by different Caribbean writers. I got very inspired by that class as many of you may have realized. But for example, writers like Jamaica Kincaid, Christian Campbell, and Olive Senior I use in many of my courses. I like these writers for different and various reasons. I like Kincaid because she writes well and always writes about controversial topics. I like Jamaica Kincaid because she always talks about anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. Here is a picture of Kincaid and my favorite book of hers: Write about your favorite subject this term. Among others, include: > Name > Describe what you do in classes > Mention the main contents you have see...
