BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

The person I look up to the most is...

Who do you look up to? It is  probably a person who influences you either in your personal life or work career and the decisions you take. Why is that? Is it because of his/her personality, his/her achievements in life? 

 

The first person that comes to my mind is my master at university: Professor Dr Neil McLaren, as he was the most influential person in the way I teach and how I try to face the difficulties I come across in my job, apart from being the director of my Bachelor Thesis and my PhD.


However, let's check first the meaning of this phrase:

Friday phrase: "to look up to someone"

  1. The person I admire most is Dove Cameron, she is an American singer, she has a sister named Claire, her father unfortunately died when she was only fifteen years old. His father is of English nationality, and his mother, of French nationality. That is why Dove can speak very good English and French. She is short, she is also thin. His eyes are green, his hair blond, his lips are very thick. She is perfect, also sings and dances great.

In just eleven years he defeated the Persian Empire and conquered an immense territory that spanned from Greece to India. He created a single currency, imposed Greek as a common language, opened trade, roads and irrigation canals were built.
    He became a myth after dying at the age of 33 in Babylon in 323 B.C.

  7. The influence of the people around you also affects you and makes you reflect on what you want for yourself in your future, become a reference for you, and leave a mark on your life.

    In my case I have many important people, on the one hand there is my mother, a great example to follow, a hardworking woman, a fighter, is a person who is always happy, and always makes the people around her happy, and she is a person who loves his job, and strives day by day to improve.

    On the other hand there is also my grandmother, a strong fighter and hardworking woman like no other, has been able to get her family forward alone without help.

    And on the other hand there are two great referents for me, my two Biology teachers: Laura my 1st and 3rd teacher and Laila my current teacher, they are great women, people and teachers, thanks to them I love Biology, and I would like to be criminologist
    I admire them because they also love their work and fill our empty minds with wisdom.

    I have four great references and I feel very lucky!

  8. Everyone has at least one person in their life that they look up to. It is a person who influences you in your personal life and the decisions you take.

    The first person that comes to my mind is my mum, as she has been there from the very first day. She is a loving and caring person who has always taken very good care of me and my education. She proved to be the bravest mum ever as she had to raise me by herself. I think I look up to her because I care about other people and because I think love is the most beautiful feeling to share with our beloved ones.

    Secondly, my dad is the other person that comes to my mind as he achieved one of his biggest dreams-being a doctor. My dream is to become a surgeon and follow my dad´s achievements one day. I hope my dream can come true, too, one day!

    To sum up, my parents had an important influence in my life as I have learnt a lot from them and I admire both a lot!
