Becoming a teacher is... predestined?

      

This is the experience of Josué David B.O, a third-year college student but who is its ninth semester for different reasons, but many experiences behind that does not regret.

    I remember the time when I started my studies in the English Teaching Major at the University of Costa Rica, my first thoughts were that I needed to change my career because I aimed to enter to Graphic Design; two were the attempts I created to do so, but no positive results awaited me. I was resigned, and with remorse, I finally decided to finish that career.

    Throughout the semesters, I started to fall in love with English Teaching, something that I would never imagine in the past. Before I finished high school, I was telling me that somehow I would have liked to help people, but I was not sure how to do it. Now that I am at my junior year (2020), I feel that me, Josué Bonilla, was meant to be a teacher because somehow life or something else did not want be to anything else but an educator, and that my purpose of helping people is through a classroom, teaching the generations to be better people (in a personal and  professional way), or at least that´s what I have in mind.

    By the time I write this, which is the semester of my teaching practicum, I can´t help to feel excited about the power that I have in my hands and my mind, to change people´s lives through teaching, but also learning from all those generations that I will meet one day.
