As an English pedagogy undergraduate student, I wanted to work on something related to my field. I dreamed all year long to get a position at a travel agency guiding tourists throughout Valparaiso hills’. In the same way, I also wished to get a job at the Pacific Terminal dock, where cruise ships stopped by with hundreds of travellers. I tried year after year, but I couldn’t make it. On my final year at university, I end up translating some emails for a small company. However, I always had the chance to teach people around me.  I chose pedagogy because I enjoy seeing learners learning. I didn’t try any other career as I didn’t aim to do anything else in my life.

My experience at university was good. I learned a lot of new things and met many interesting professors and classmates. Time to time a have contact with some of my former friends and have a meeting all together!
In the future, I would love teaching some Chilean Spanish to foreigners and preparing some learning materials for people interested in the way how we use the language hereabouts.
