Sample Post 2 Why I chose this career

I remember when I was in High School I wasn't sure what to choose as a career. I was 17 years old and I thought that was an important decision. So, when I graduated I only studied English for a year and saved money working part-time in different things. I studied English because one of my options was English Literature but I knew that if in the end I didn't decide to study that, English was going to help.
I finally found out there was a technical degree to study Translation and I entered. The name of the degree was traductora inglés-español/ español-inglés and I don't regret because translating is interesting and it helped me understanding how important was to read a "good" translation of a book for example. We learnt a lot about Grammar but also about so many fascinating topics...
Then, I started working as a private teacher. I studied with children, young adults and adults until one day I found a programme to became a professional teacher. That took me three more years so I also graduated as an English teacher and as I spoke and knew the Grammar of both languages and also because I usually work with teachers from other countries, who are interested in learning Spanish; I started teaching Spanish and I enjoy it as much as I enjoy teaching English.
Being a teacher is really fun and interesting and I can't imagine my life without teaching because I like learning about people, about languages of course but also about how the human brain learns a language.
