A New Experience
After 2 years of thinking that I had hung up my gloves, of course! Metaphorically speaking, my days as a retired teacher have come to an end, when I'm in my mid-fifties I feel like I'm in the prime of my life, I feel like I'm productive and I can give more, I'm already bored of being at home without doing something I like!
The truth, although that scenario of my retirement time passed through my mind. Today it falls apart, seeing me in my house watering the plants and lying in a hammock or chinchorro, perhaps with a refreshing drink in my hand; I no longer see myself with those thoughts materialized, at least not right now.
Last week I returned to action, in the field that I work my whole life, the educational area serving the population of adolescents from 12 to 18 years of age; what I didn't think was that when I resumed my work privately it would be at a level that I hadn't experienced, specifically with third grade elementary school children of 7 or 8 years of age, Our education system does not include the figure of Educational Counselor at this level and always work in public institutions for the state. I confess that for me it was a great challenge, something fearful because of the new experience, going down to the level of children and not boring them was what worried me, the truth is that I think barriers were forming in my mind, soon after sharing with them chemistry emerged, the pleasure of teaching something new and learning from them was not long in coming, I think that children are great teachers, we can re-learn many things, sharing and listening to them allows us to see things from a different perspective and rethink many things. I would like to share my experiences with you as they emerge!, in the day-to-day life of my living with those beautiful beings.
