Should I keep up with my vocation or should I accept a better paid job? I got a job as a Teacher recently. I had been broken, depressed and hurt by many things occurred last December. I wouldn't know to say if it's been magic, but once Teaching became a daily job, my mood had a 180 degrees change. Receiving a positive feedback - especially from kids - and watch them learning and empowering through the learning process makes me really happy. Once I finish my teaching journey and I arrive home, I can't wait for tomorrow! Teaching excites me, make me happy - even though, my wage isn't enough to buy a 20-cigarette package daily for a week. During my work searching, I applied for a job as an Executive translator for a recognized importer company, and I received a call from them today expressing their interest in hiring me. Of course, I will receive a higher wage if I accept their work proposal. However, I have felt so empowered and happy while teaching that I don't don't if reject -or not- this work offer. I'm up to hear opinions and, of course, willing to receive corrections on my writing. Thanks and I will be waiting what you think about.

Day 3 as a newbie Teacher. Day 3 as a teacher: Kids are often amazing. Today, I had a 10-year-old girl student named Victoria Valentina! I saw her playing and joking around in the Institute. At first glance, Victoria might look like a silly and terrible kid. At 12 pm, Valentina knocked my classroom's door to notify it was her turn to take a class. And indeed, it was. She came in, took her seat, opened her books and replied an enthusiastic "hello". At first, I wasn't so willing to give Victoria her class. No sooner I had realized Victoria was pretty similar to my 7-year-old little sister, I completely changed my mood and let Valentina express herself. My sister, Isabel, is a naughty and funny girl exactly as Victoria is. Class went by, and Victoria and I got along actually pretty well. She told me her parents enrolled her in a military-like school to correct herself and her 8-year-old brother. She's not only naughty but nice, beautiful and intelligent as well. Then, she took the classroom's marker to write on our room's glassed windows my name and at the same time, she was saying funny things. Once finished the class, she didn't want to leave though she had to. She left smiling and with such an enjoyable experience learning!

My first day at work Today was my first day at work. Last Monday, I took an exam to assess my Spanish grammar and knowledge where I would show if my proficiency is high - or not. At first sight, I was shocked. There were so many complex grammatical structures and I even thought to quit because of its apparent difficulty level. I moved on to another page of the exam, starting to develop those answers which I was completely familiarized with. As long as the test went by, my mind got clearer and I could reply every single question of my assessment. Next day in the morning, I received a call from an HR Supervisor notifying that my exam had been approved, meeting with their expected requirements. However, there was still an evaluation to complete in order to be successfully hired by them. A video-call with the Company's Regional Manager. The call was done, and the manager stood out after having such an interview with me, and finally approving my job request. He asked about my prompt availability which I expressed my commitment to start immediately. And that was today, at 10 am. Later during the morning, a phone was incoming on my phone - it was the local Manager notifying that I needed to be at 2 pm in their office. I was excited, took a shower and drove to the job. No sooner I arrived, my excitement increased even more. I was attended by the Manager, assigning me a trainer to understand how teaching lessons must be done and then, I finally started teaching! Two kids under 10 and a 21-years-old girl were my first students. I was so happy teaching them. I think I found what I was born for today.
