I guess making a change implies a major turnaround. I think until now I’ve not spun far enough to change other people’s lives, or even my own, really. But this period of my life is like the anteroom for that spin, and I couldn’t be more excited than I am right now.
Affecting the lives of others in a positive way through your work is doubtlessly desirable. I never realized this until I experienced the benefits from others' dedication and its deep effect on me. That’s why I’ve decided to become a teacher, and to share my little knowledge and huge enthusiasm with people willing to widen their limits and feed their brain and soul with the food of words.
Education was never an interesting field for me. I used to consider myself too serious or impatient, perhaps, to deal with rough-and-tumble teenagers or noisy kids, and I never contemplated the possibility of teaching adults. Maybe I’ve had to wait to become an adult myself, and experience this thirst to learn, to realize I want to help others like me.
Knowledge, as many other gifts in life, reaches its highest attainment when you finally have something to apply it to, when you have the strength to push the door that its key is intended for, and when you have suffered its lack. So I’m about to start on this new road, and I’ll try my best to be able to give back to students all the good that I’ve received from my teachers and professors, which is like saying I'd like to make an infinite donation.
