Everyone says I’m emotional, But they don’t see all the changes that I’m going through. My voice is changing and my body as well, All I want to do is belong and be accepted in the clique. My parents always say I’m egocentric, but they don’t know how hard this is, If only they could understand, If only they could be me. They say I must be responsible, but how can I with all these responsibilities. I strive for independence, but I still need dependency. They may call me rebellious and that will always be me, Until I find my identity.

At a young age I had to manage a group of teachers, most of them of course were older than me. I must admit at first I felt petrified and I felt that I couldn't do much, I mean they had more years than me teaching and working at the company. In the first few meetings I felt like the world was ending because they were so used to doing as they wish and being rebellious,  which just made me question myself, why would they listen to me?  After acknowledging this situation I looked for ways to get to people because to be honest I've never been the kind of person that likes to be stressing about situation and walking around all tighten up. Therefore, I started to read, try to get to know a little bit more how human-beings work, how to influence them and for them to feel that they aren't the victim and that I'm a dictator. So far it hasn't been that terrible, we've had our good days and bad days. Indubitably there has been  some issues and they have ended up the best...

Like any other Tuesday the sun in shinning and the wind is blowing, but something in my mind has changed, I have decided to begin a new journey. A new journey where I cant predict how I'm going to do and if it will work, probably I'm doing it to try to find something new and that gives certain meaning to my life or simple a place where I can relieve my stress from everyday routine. Today it's just a starting point but later on it will turn into something more. 

Well, I'm glad to say that I've made it to week 6, but at the same time I can say that I feel kind of tired and overwhelmed as I have a lot of work because my program is ending so I have tons to do. Anyways I always manage to squeeze in a little but of the course. This past week I learnt and read about how to make a powerpoint more interactive. There were several articles that gave us a lot of technique in ways to make a presentation more interesting. Indeed it was really cool while I read it.  Also I had to create mine. I must admit that I didnt invest a lot of time on it but I tried my best, I wished I had a little bit more time. Finally I started implementing my tool in class.  For this I took a laptop and connected it to wifi and showed my students different websites were they cab interact with native speakers. Also I recollected all their emails and sent them a document with step to step instructions of what to do. So far it hasn't been that great because most of t...

Hello I'm here again,  This time I came to share my reflection of week 5. This week in my opinion has been the best of all because I managed to plan myself better to do everything on time but not too rushed.   Throughout the week I learnt a lot and did a lot of work. To begin with I read different articles about rubric and project-based learning in which I learnt about a new way to assign projects to my students were they can fell like they are in control. Also, I read in more details about rubrics and why they are so useful. While reading the information about rubrics there was a lot of facts that I found interesting, as this helps the students to know what is expected from them and what the final result should look like.  Also, I got the chance to create my own rubric, which was really helpful because I have my own evaluation grid for my conversation class but it isn't as detailed as the rubric I made. As the one I made explains step by step why they would lo...

Hello Once Again, Another week has gone by and we are still making an extra effort to complete all the tasks. Sometimes it's tough and this week it has been even more because I've had a lot of work at my job and I have also been sick, but I definetly tried my best to do the best that I could to complete everything on time. This week we had four different assignments. Our first assignment was very interesting as we had to read two articles. One of the articles spoke about pronunciation and how important it is to give students different pronunciation activities and the information that I liked the most about this article is that it mentioned that when learning a language the accent isn't important as long as the students manages to communicate. The other article spoke about a different way to teach another language by using videos and audios, which allows the teacher to make the class a little bit more interesting and creative, As I mentioned before in my discussion the...
