✏ Teacher chit chat: How my job has changed me~

I don't share much about my job in this blog, and that is mainly because there are things that are meant to be kept as private. Especially working with kids.
As some of you know I'm an English teacher, and I work with preschool kids.

Honestly, I never, EVER thought I'd end up working with kids. When I was younger, I hated the idea of being a teacher, I didn't even liked to play the teacher when playing with my cousins and stuff.
But during my "I-don't-know-what-I- want-to-do-for-living" moment, somehow, I decided to give it a chance "while" I decided what I really wanted to do.
When I first started, I had no idea of how to teach or deal with kids. I didn't even liked kids!! It was my first time ever in front of a group and I had to work with 3 different groups!

I had no patience and didn't even knew if what I was doing was right. I was lucky enough to had the chance to work there being so unexperienced, and even luckier to have such great people as my co-workers who helped (and still do) me a lot through the years.

With time I've learned that my job, is one of the most beautiful ones. I get the chance to teach, share, learn, and maybe even be an important part of a human being's formation.
I spent most of my days with the kids, and I can tell not a single day is the same. They always make me laugh, they have a very unique way of seeing things, I'm amazed of how fast they learn (the good and the bad) and of course, I've seen the most sincere love.
I don't know if this will make any sense but I feel like working with kids has made me become more...human in a way? I don't know how to explain. Heh~~~~~

I think this 4 or 5 years I've been working as a teacher have been some of the greatest! Like I always say, I'm learning a lot about everything! Parenting, life, education, responsability, and the most important, I'm doing something I really enjoy. Hehe.
Kids are amazing! They keep surprising me everyday. They want to learn, they are always curious and even the most common thing can be amazing to them. I think we should learn from them and neve loose that excitement about everything we do or learn.

I could say I'm slowly becoming a teacher, with lots of help I've learned a lot and I know there is a lot more to come. I've became a much more patient and somewhat creative (in a way) person and I love spending time with my kids, in fact, I can't wait to have my own someday soon!!

I wish I could share my everyday at work with you all so you could see how fun it is. And if I can make a good difference, even if it's just a small one, in one (or more than one) kid's life; I definitely will be very proud of myself.
