Trainee Teacher

Hello dear readers, I hope you all are doing well. 

This time, we had to interview a classmate and share the experience that we had by doing it. I want to introduce to you to who I chose, you may know her, she is my pal Carolina. She has done a short autobiography for you to know her better, here you have:

“Hello, my name is Carolina Esther Murillo Murillo I am 18 years old, I was born in Apartadó (Antioquia) I used to live with my parents and my oldest sister. Now, I am living with my middle sister, her name is Angie and she is studying Odontology and she is 25.

I love reading books about the Jew Holocaust, listening to Adele's music, singing and talking on the phone, watching videos, and other things.

On the other hand, I finished the school 2 years ago. I have studied English at the Colombo Americano for 2 years and in Universidad de Medellín 1 year more. Everything has change, it was too tough to leave my home, and nonetheless I am delighted living in here”. 
I want to add that she really loves the history of Jew Holocaust, that is her pastime.

Questions time! 

D: Why did you decide to study this career? 

 C: "I decided to study this program because wholeheartedly (honestly) it was my second option, I have loved languages since I was a child but I was in the darkness thinking on other things, so I got lost in the way; nevertheless, I want to help children from my town for giving them the opportunity to have a suitable teacher and a pleasant learning process; hence, I decided it for that reason", she said.

D: What do you think about education in Colombia?

 C: "I would like to say that education in Colombia is neither the worst nor the best, every single day people is looking for someone to blame, when each person can make the difference by letting up gossip and changing from themselves to others. Moreover, sometimes, some teachers begin to blame the State while they do not realize that they have something powerful on their hands, just contemplating their teaching practice and updating themselves they can performance miracles", she said.

D: When did you find out you wanted to be a teacher?

 C: "I discovered that I wanted to be a teacher when I started to ponder on my years in basic education, my first though was my teacher, I do not know exactly why, but I admire her and I want to be like her", she said.

D: Is there something do you want to change in the educational system?

 C: "I just want to find something that helps me to change the thoughts of the educational subjects", she said.

D: How do you feel studying this degree? 

 C: "As I said before, I am happy living here in Medellín, it is a little bit challenging because I must be aware of the future that awaits me, but I feel I am doing this more for charity than myself", she said.

I want to say that this interview showed me a different new point of view, despite I talk to her (Carolina) everyday, it is not enough to get closer to her beliefs. I enjoy talking to her because it seems that we speak the same language (it sounds weird, I know), and we understand each other well, (maybe because we are from the same place). I do not know why but it is not the same that if I talk to a person from Medellín, that's the reason why I decided to interview her. 

It would be a pleasure for me that you can answer the same questions I asked to Caro. Remember, do it honestly, "For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of", see you soon!
