I never imagined myself as a teacher, is something that simply was not in my life plans, but suddenly everything changed, even the perspective of my own way.
Being with the kids in the different schools had made me realized how important it is the education, how in my past I never put myself in the skin of the professors I had, and how hard it is their job.
Education need of professionals that are willing to help, not for a salary to take home, but for really creating a change in the future of the society, children want to learn but they need to have fun and enjoy in the place they are. An environment where the creative and interacting skills can be developed and grown.
This is something that I learned thanks to this experience, and now I feel that I am good on this and I should find the way to keep being involved in the education field.
I am now organizing a youth exchange and also I applied to a training to become a trainer, inspired by the ones I had on my OAT (on arrival training) and the people and experiences I had here.
And I feel glad to discover this part of me.
