Teacher's Example:

The road to what I do now was not straightforward, in my childhood I had many ideas and wanted to be many things. As a child I used to dream of being a great Lawyer, I felt particularly attracted to defending people in need, later, I decided that the world needed more psychologists, and even, being 17 years old, I decided that the road of Arts was going to be the path I would follow.

So, after taking the PAA I applied to the Arts School. I had struggled a lot with my Dad due to such decision, but finally I was ready to go. After the application, the results did not go the best way, in fact, I couldn't enter! I was number five in the waiting list, and guess what!.... in the Arts Programme the lists don't "run".

I felt really demotivated, so I decided to do whatever possible and I started to study Construction Engineering, but I couldn't cope with it, I didn't like it and after a year I was already sure I had always wanted to study languages and after that summer I told my parents I was leaving the engineering programm and that I would take up on language studies.

I had a great time learning English, French, etc. I enjoyed it so very much that the years went by too fast and after some years, I became a Linguist and here I am, already having changed my mind again, I decided to leave Linguistics a little bit behind and concentrate on what I have always liked the most, which is Teaching.
