Expressing my thoughts.

Hi, lately I've been feeling that I need to write and share a lot of the things that I think about, so I've been writing some of those this stuff in my native language (Spanish) on my Facebook page, but I also what want to write those this stuff in English,. I don't want to do it in on my Facebook page because people would will think I'm just showing off and also because most of my friends speak Spanish, so what's the point of writing it in English (No one will read it). So I have decided to share those thoughts here on Italki because first it would allow my students to get to know a little bit about me and second because people could correct my mistakes (hopefully they will) and hence I would will improve my English writing skills.

You see There was something else that made me want to write specially here, and that was a thought that I had after teaching a class. After teaching this class, I started thinking what motivates people to teach a language and if they really want to make their students learn or just want to earn money!

I'm not saying I'm here just because I love the job (I do love it), but I'm also here because of the money (because, well, I need to eat). but Even though this is not my career of choice there is one thing that I do know and is that if you are going to do something, you have to do your best! That's why even though I'm not a perfect teacher (I'm not even a professional teacher) I try to do my best to make my students learn, and always focus in helping them get to know more vocabulary and have more fluency!

But what really makes me angry is to see the huge amount of teachers that are doing this just for the money without even paying attention to see if whether the student is learning something or not. It makes me sad that they don't focus on helping them improve. I don't want to criticize anyone I just want to shared my point of view and advice advise those teachers out there, that I understand that you need to earn money but you also need to think that students are paying you to learn, so you should devote yourself to make your students learn. Because well, what's the point of doing something and not doing it right, what does that says about you?

I think that this not only apply applies for to teaching, these but also applies for to every profession. So, wherever you are and whatever your situation might be, remember that what you have is what you have decided to have, so if you have decided to do something at least try to do it the best way possible and to be the best you can be!

Love,

Cari.

I'm not saying I'm here just because I love the job (I do love it), but i'm also here because of the money (because, well, I need to eat) but even though this is not my career of choice there is one thing that I do know and that is , if you are going to do something, you have to do your best! That's why even though I'm not a perfect teacher (I'm not even a professional teacher) I try to do my best to make my students learn and always focus on helping them to learn more vocabulary and have more speaking fluency in the Spanish!

But what really makes me angry is to see the huge number of teachers that are doing this just for the money without even paying attention to see if their students are learning or not. It makes me sad that they don't focus on helping them improve.
