Example:
I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my
future job be?". And here I am!!.
I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do
job, but always wanted to be with people.
From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something
neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that
would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange
people, well... strange meaning, different than me and my friends and family.
With teaching languages, I have been able to do all the former, which leads me
to think it was the right choice.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as
a teacher's job but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I
decided to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up on PHD studies in the field of
Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it either in the Netherlands,
Switzerland and/or England.
I would like to do it in those countries, well, in the two first ones
because they have a long history of successful multilingualism and because they
are definitely good at languages. England on the other hand, would be my last
choice, and this is because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and
please, no offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who
speaks only one language? […] you call them British"...LOL
I am also interested in traveling and knowing all the world!
ReplyDeleteI think Netherlands and Switzerland are good options!
ReplyDeleteI am also a free soul haha
ReplyDeleteNice! I think I couldn´t work just in a office.
