I'm a teacher. A teacher is a person who teaches. I work in a school close to
my home. I have a lot of partners in my job, I work with other teachers and
some directives. The kids are also partners in my job because they are the
reason of my motivation for go to work every morning. I like my job a lot
because I love teaching, I love when kids find out that knowledge is not
something unreachable but tons of fun. I also like my job because my own
learning will never stop meanwhile I had to accept the challenge of teaching to
every day more complicated kids.
