I can't really remember if I had a dream job as a child ... I think I never really thought about professions until I was forced to it. However, after finishing high school I had some options like kinesiology or occupational therapy because I wanted to help people but then I realized that I can't deal with injuries so it was not my area at all. I'm not really good at maths either so I guess my options were always closer to the humanist area.

One thing that helped me decide to become an English Teacher was the fact that with English I had different job possibilities like working at schools, institutes, higher education, tourism, as english tutor, etc. Moreover, I enjoyed teaching so I think I made the right choice.
Before getting to Universidad de Chile I worked in other places like schools and english institutes but I didn't like all the bureaucracy of these institutions. At this moment, I feel comfortable working with university students because they are responsible at this age and I like to meet people from the different faculties. 

I don't know for how long I'll be working here, or if I'll continue as a teacher for many years but there's one thing I know... at the age of fifty I'd like to move to the south of chile and work there in something different, I don't know... maybe something related with tourism. Well, this is for now maybe I'll change my mind in the future, you never know that's around the corner.

    I agree with Thomas, what a radical change! But the important is take good decisions and feel happy with what you're doing.

Hi everybody, I would like to introduce myself so you can know a little bit more about me. I was born in 1989 in Santiago and I have always lived here, although I would love to live in the south of Chile some day, nearby Frutillar as there are beautiful and quiet landscapes. I studied at Universidad Catolica Silva Henriquez where I made good friends and learned not only about my career but also about myself, so I could say I grew up in many senses those years. Last year, I finished my Master's Degree which made me really happy. Teaching English is something I enjoy every day, and now when I think about the decision I made of study...

Post 3 >> My Favourite Piece of Technology

Write about your favourite piece of technology Say: What it is. When you got it. How you use it. How often you use it. Why you like it. What life would be like without it. - 140 words minimum. - Include a picture. - Comment on your teacher's post and 3 of your classmates’ blogs. Today I'll talk about my favorite piece of technology. I have to admit that it was kind of difficult at first thinking about only one, as we have many technological devices that we use every day and make our life easier. I realized how important is for most of the people having their cellphones for example. Nowadays everybody spend a lot of time in front of their computers or sending text messages, but to tell the truth I'm not a tech fan. I actually don't use them very often and I've never played those popular cell games, so despite their are useful tools in my life of course, I wouldn't say that I actually "enjoy" using them. But then I started thinking Which one of them...
