First day
I still remember my first day at university. Obviously, I don’t remember all the details since it was ages ago, but I do remember special things.
But to set you in the context, let me tell you I did translation first but I was not sure I wanted that. However, I decided I would finish and then study sociology. I finished my course and started working as a translator and teacher. I also got to interpret stuff and I found it really fun and the money was Ok. This is why I thought; maybe I should get a teaching degree after all. I started looking at the possibilities around and wasn’t too impressed. So I decided to go away.
My first day at pedagogy was very exciting. Most classmates seemed younger and really nervous. I remember this very formal teacher talking to us about Education and the importance of being a teacher with a vocation. He also mentioned some really interesting facts about curriculum, assessment, and didactics, which made me think, O.M.G “this is where I need to be”. I listened to all these words as if they were said to me only and I really got engaged.
Then, we had the break and had some coffee with my classmates who mostly had found the speech really boring and meaningless. I remember having a nice chat with Gabriela, we spoke about music and also different places where you could teach. It was a nice day and I’ll never forget that particular first class.
Sociology is still on waiting list...

ReplyDeleteI loved the journalism in the first class like you with the pedagogy. Generally, the professor talk about all the beauty things of the carreer and we love it.
ReplyDeleteMy sister is studying to be a Translator on English/Portuguese/Japanese in USACH. So far she likes it, but what she really wants to be is an Interpreter, the only problem is that in Chile there's not much fieldwork for it.
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice that you love your profession. I feel sad when some people say that they hate their careers
