•How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?
when I  was 18 years old, I  envisioned my life as a professional in the health area, specially in physioterapy (I  know it has nothing to do with what I decided to study) but I saw myself working helping people to recover their health.

•If  you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.
I  think I  have achieved my aim but in a very different way, although I  did not continue studying physioterapy, as an interpreter I  haved had the opportunity to interpreting in the medical area with joni and friends and this has motivated me to continue working in this field.

•If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”? I  did not achieve this aim as I  originally planeed but what I  have achieved is much better because through languages I  can still be participating in medical area.

•How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?
I consider it very important because it is the basis for a succesful class in which we can be sure that the students have understood the lesson.

•How important do you think planning is in general terms of life? planning in general helps us to organize our life and really indentify what our goals are.

•If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why? I would rate it as a 10 because even if we have a plan it can change or adjust according to our needs but it  is always necessary and important to try again until you achieve your goals.

• How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?  Back then I was a little bit anxious about what I was going to do. It was the year I also graduated from high school so I was nostalgic because school was over, but excited and anxious about my new experience at university. I thought that I was going to have an amazing experience at uni, and have a job.
•If  you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan. Well, my original aim was to do good at uni and graduate, and so far I am doing really good with it. Basically focusing on my studies and not giving up even if sometimes it gets hard.
•How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education? I think it's really important. Just like when you do a presentation in class. If you have studied you will be successful but if you haven't it will not be so good.
•How important do you think planning is in general terms of life? I think it's also important. But to have a general idea about what you want. We also need to remember that not everything will go our way, so always be open to new things.
•If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why? 8, because as I mentioned it is good to have what you want set up. But sometimes people take it too seriously, that if it doesn't go their way, they get upset. So it is good to be open if things take another turn.

•       How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?

To be honest I didn't imagine anything, just like everyone else I wanted to earn some money but now that I think about it, I wanted to take a sabbatical year to know what I wanted to do with my life but it didn't happen.

•       If you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.

I have met some of my goals, honestly, I always try to organize myself and plan well what I want and that has helped me, I try to focus on one thing at a time.

•       If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?

Along the way I realized that taking this decision to study was good because I realized many things that I don't like and I also realized that it was a good decision.

•       How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?

Is very important because it is a planning to complement a whole subject and thanks to it, we can divide different activities and distribute our time to be able to teach a class.

•       How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?

As I already said planning is to reach your objectives therefore in your personal life it helps you to become more organized and propose new goals when you have already accomplished them, however sometimes they do not turn out as we expect but without a doubt we can observe where we fail and face new challenges.

•       If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?

I would give it a 10 because it is a way to reach our goals and thus meet them and move forward.

1. How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?
Back then I didn't even have time to have a solid view of my future although I was studying this major, however, I let time and experience put me in the position I needed to understand what I wanted.

2. If  you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.
I keep focusing on my studies. I have been through many different difficulties but I have never let them stop me to keep learning and improving myself in order not to be left behind.

3. If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?
I think is better.  Now I have a better vision on what to do, I know the right people to get what I want and I have a more realistic point of view in the professional field.

4. How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?
Absolutely important. Planification is the backbone of successful teaching.

5. How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?
Very important, although I think is good to know how to improvise. Life works randomly sometimes.

6. If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?
9, because being well prepared is the key to getting a high probability of success, but as I mentioned before, improvising is also good in order to be prepared for unplanned situations.

How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?

Well, when I was 18 I had many more illusions in life, I thought that good things were going to happen to me just because they were going to happen or because of destiny. I imagined that at the age of 25 I would have my life solved, my own house, my dream job, and things like that that I have not been able to achieve to this day. I certainly had a more optimistic mind than I do now.

If  you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.

I am afraid to say that I have not yet achieved my objectives, at least the most relevant ones. However, I continue to strive for them in spite of everything.

If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?

I think it is worse, because as the years go by, our plans change and our illusions fade away. We must have a strong mentality and disposition to not allow failures to sink us completely.

How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?

I think it is crucial, because a lesson planned in advance will be executed in a better way, otherwise we will be in trouble, trying to improvise when it should not be like that.

How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?

We should all have a life plan, be clear about what we want to do and find a way to achieve it. Always have a plan b if things don't go as expected and always be sure before making decisions, so without a doubt planning is fundamental for a successful life.

If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?

I would give it a range between 9 and 10, as we should not get comfortable at any time. Planning can lead us to great things so we should not have to leave it aside.

1. When I was 18 I really didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, I was still figuring out what my next move was going to be, so I think that at that moment my goal was to find something that makes me happy and that I feel comfortable doing. At the end I'm glad I did even though it took me longer than expected.

2. It took me a while to have a plan of action so my plans change with time, the one thing that sticks with me from the very beginning was not giving up, I decided I was going to do my best to achieve whatever I wanted to do, so I'm just trying to be persistent.

3. I feel like my life is better now, I feel I'm in a better place now than a couple of years ago, my goals and expectations are clear and I have a better idea of what I want to do in the future.

4. Lesson planning is extremely important in education because other's learning processes depend on how organized and proficient the teacher is, a teacher needs to have a structured plan of action to ensure the students receive what they need to learn a new language.

5. On a daily life basis, planning is really important because personally, it helps me get more things done, I can be very distracted and I often forget things, so planning and organizing helps me stay on top of my responsibilities.

6. I would give it an 8 because as much as we want to be as perfect as possible this can not happen all the time, life cant go following steps from a list so many things are going to happen totally different from our plans.

# data[].attributes.body
1. How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?

Back in that time, I remember that I just want to achieve my dreams, and they were completely different from what I had to achieve now to fulfill or to be on the path to what my real dreams are.

2. If you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did to stick to your original plan.

Well, for me this it’s a hard question, I had focused more in complete my career and studying to be a professional, so, maybe I didn’t focus on the plan that I had before, but now I have others, I think with patience and all just at the perfect time will be perfect, step by step, to finally be on the final goal.

3. If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned.
Is it “better” or “worse”? Better, If I had chosen another career, I would be terrified and lost, because this depends on my future, step by step I will achieve some parts of the plan and then make my dreams come true.

4. How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?

I think this is extremely important, because if you´re not ready you lost all the objectives of teaching, and your students too, you need planning to maintain order, keep learning and have a good relationship with the students.

5. How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?

Planning, in general, will always be essential, maybe some people act better improvising their speeches or projects but it's better to be prepared for everything that could happen, and have a successful life, people get more confidence with the ones that are prepared and sure about what they're doing, whatever job they can have.

6. If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?

10, Because like I said before, I consider it one of the best things to prepare yourself for an important event or lessons or even little things, it gives you more security for yourself, and you give a good impression to others.

1. The first thing I wanted back then for my future was to become independent in terms of a living situation, do not get me wrong I love my parents but I wanted my own space to coexist and learn things on my own, I also saw myself getting my degree, I envisioned myself with a good job doing the things I love and also saving money to build my own house.

2. I did achieve my goals such as independency and the job I love as a medical interpreter, I am working on my degree. I got so pasionate about my aims the key is never giving up. Create a plan that helps u accomplish because without one you loose direction and motivation.

3. The only thing I havent accomplish yet is saving money, I am a spender and I regret my choices when it comes to not saving money. It hasnt gotten better or worst but I am still hoping I can get better with my finance choices.

4. Lesson planning is essential for a class because if you do not have something planned the teaching and the learning will not work unless you have a purpose and you develop a topic through the session that has been previously planned. After you have a clear idea of what develop, whats the purpose, what are you trying to teach etc, it becomes easier to explain and also as a student to understand.

5. For life its absolutely necessary and I wish I would have applied it for myself way before.

6. It is a 10 I do not know anything about astrology and zodiac signs but they say VIRGO is organized and likes to make plans for everything and I cannot agree more. I make a plan for my day even with the smallest things If i dont have a schedule for everything Ill go nuts so it is a 10 out of 10 for me lol.

•How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?

When I was 18 years old I knew what I wanted, I wanted to be an interpreter and I pursued that dream, I saw myself working for the embassy and even I imagine myself working in another country. In my personal life I wanted to get married and have kids before my 30's so I guess I am still on time.

•If  you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.

I have achieved my first goals which was being an interpreter and to do that I had to work hard and I sacrified a lot of things since I was working for 10 hours for almost 4 years to pay my studies and then I had to change to another job to continue studying and even though I am earning less money I am about to finish my career. Last but not least I have been practicing and investigating a lot to get vocabulary and to understand a lot of topics to be the best interpreter

•If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?

I achieved the first goal but I still haven't achieve the other ones, I now I have different plans, I love being in El Salvador and now I want to work as a teacher as a hobby since I discovered I was really good at it but my main motivation is to help people to reach their goal. In my personal life I am single and I am happy like that but people say that love comes when you do not expected so right now I am not thinking about that but if that happens I would be happy. In general I am happy and I wouldn't change anything I believe is better my present because I have done things I never thought I would do.

•How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?

Is a must if you want to help people to understand the topics, and to help them to achieve their goals, planning the lessons is something that in my opinion my teachers didn't do it when I was in highschool or at least they didn't use all the the possible resources to have effective classes and that is why I didn't understand many topics but if you take advantage of all the possible resources, definitely you will have productive classes.

•How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?

For me is everything, It helps me to achieve my goals faster and every year I write down my goals and I have a due date so everytime I see my due date and if I am not doing anything to achieve my goal I plan everything to achieve it in that time. Life is unpredictable but planning my years has helped me to focus on my objectives and has helped me to complete my studies in 5 years and with good grades.

•If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?

I would give it a 10 and as I mentioned before probably life is unpredictable most of the time but if you have a goal you are going to take decisions based on your goals. In my case for example I had to reject other jobs opportunities because that wouldn't have helped me to achieve the goals that I have achieved so far.

•       How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?

Back in 2019, I did not have that much planned for my future except that I had to make money at all costs. I was almost finishing my first year at the university and I felt confused because my major did not seem that apealing anymore to me. So I had to stay positive and think that, hopefully, in the next years I was going to love it and so it was.

•       If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?

I feel like my life is better now beacuse I did not have nothing planned back in those days; however, now I have my goals set, and I have already accomplished some of them.

•       How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?

Lesson planning is vital in education because it helps teachers prepare and structure their sessions and teach effectively. If we set our objectives and organize content and activities, we can create engaging lessons that support student’s learning and understanding. Lesson planning also enables teachers to manage their time efficiently, check the student’s progress, and adapt their teaching methods to meet the needs of their students.

•       How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?

Planning is important for everyone because it keeps you focused, motivated, and organized in a practical way. You can make plans for anything like trips, education, relationships, and shopping. It also helps you prepare for challenges and find ways to overcome them, making it more likely to achieve your goals.

•       If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?

If I could rate planning, I would give it a 7 out of 10. It helps you organize things, making them easier to handle and achieve. But sometimes, things don't go as planned, and that can make some people feel sad or disappointed, especially if they don't stay positive. Still, if you stay positive and flexible, planning can be a useful tool to deal with life's ups and downs.

1.       When I was 18, I envisioned my life a just little bit different from what it is nowadays. I was thinking about studying a different major, but it was not possible from different reasons. At the time I didn’t have many expectations about life; I could see myself studying, but nothing out of the normal.

2.       If we talk about school and academics, I am reaching my goals. I’ve been doing very good without too much problem but some stress and a little bit of “normal” frustration. My only plan was to work hard, and it has paid off.

3.       There have been some things along the way that could have been different, but I don’t think they would have generated massive changes. Some aspects of my life might’ve been right now, but I guess I would never know.

4.       Lesson planning is necessary. From what I learned from the video, lesson planning is very important for teachers because it is going to help them with the organization of content and time, good development of the topics, and engagement with all students.

5.       Planning approaches vary greatly among individuals. Some are meticulous and like to control every aspect of their lives, leading to anxiety when things go awry. Others are more spontaneous but may struggle with disorganization. In general, it's beneficial to have a loose plan, but with clear objectives, for life while maintaining the flexibility to enjoy its unpredictability.

6.       I would give it an 8.5. Planning is important in every aspect of life because we need to know what we are doing, or what we must do to achieve something. However, we need to also allow flexibility and spontaneity in our life to actually enjoy it.

• How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old? When I was 18 years old at the beginning I didn't think much about my future, besides studying a career that I was already sure it would be this one and beyond that nothing, then until mid-year I started to be more visionary, I wanted to graduate from the career I chose, have a good job to contribute to the house and pay my expenses.

•If you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan. My main goal has always been to improve my English, I have been studying it since I was 13 years old, but I am still trying to improve it because every day you learn something new.

• If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”? Definitely, it is much better, I can say that I am proud of everything I have achieved and the things I have done that I would have never imagined because I did not think I was capable, and now I realize that if I keep working hard I can achieve even more and continue to live new experiences. As if nothing else I am in the last year of my career and I have a good job.

• How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education? I think that preparing lessons is important because it helps to give meaning or purpose to each class.

• How important do you think planning is in general terms of life? Personally, I am not a person who goes with the flow, but must always have something prepared and try to follow my plan, it causes me anxiety when something unexpected comes up. Although, it's true that you can't always control everything, at least you can have an idea of all the possibilities of what might happen.

• If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why? I would give it an 8 because, even if you have a great plan it may not always go as you expect. But it's still a good way to achieve a purpose.

1.       When I was 18 years old I imagined my life only studying until I finished my university career, believe me I never imagined working in a call center but this was the best way to start gaining experience, I always imagined living a stable life with my family and we are achieving it, in other words all the good things I imagined are coming true and I hope to achieve even more.

2.       I have achieved more than I could ever imagine having or accomplishing at my age, a stable job, the health of my family which is everything, and I have done everything in my power to make this once dreamed of and more of it come true someday.

3.       Basically, it is a thousand times better, believe me I never imagined paying for my studies with my own effort I always imagined finishing them with the help of my parents but now knowing that I was able to do this and more I have no doubt that someday I will be able to be better or achieve whatever I set my mind to with God's help.

4.       It is very important because with the help of planning it allows the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process based on what you want to achieve with the students in the classroom.

5.       Planning is important because it allows us to clearly outline our objectives and what we must do to achieve them. Therefore, it improves our level of organization that allows us to coordinate activities, strategies, resources that guarantee our success.

6.       Maybe an 8, since not everything we plan turns out to be what we expect, however it is very important that we try to make what we plan turn out for the most part, although it will not always be the case.

1. How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?

When I was 18 years old, I did not have an established plan, since I did not know if I was going to study this major or another one. In the end I decided on this one because it is something that I like and that I can take advantage of it. Something that was established in my mind was that I had to finish my major no matter what, also I wanted to have a good job and help my parents with certain things, which nowadays I have achieved two out of three.

2. If you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.

I could say that year after year I have been achieving some of my goals, but if we talk about education in general, I think I have done very well and because of that I have achieved many of my goals by working hard. In addition, another of my main goals was improving my English since I have been learning it since I was 12 years old, and I can say that now I am prepared more than when I was 18 years old, but as we all know languages are continuously changing, so I learn more and more every day.

3. If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?

I think that my life is better now because I was not sure what was going to happen in my future, since I had nothing established, but I am proud of everything I have nowadays and what I have accomplished on my own.

4. How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?

Lesson planning holds a significant purpose to each class, and it is important because it helps us to establish the objectives of the course and determine the most effective way to conduct the class. This might not sound like a big thing, but it is, since it is fundamental to a successful lesson.

5. How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?

In my opinion, planning is an aspect of life that helps us to be organized, to have a successful life, and it enhances our decision-making abilities. Whether it is in personal relationships, work, financial management, or any other domain, planning sets the groundwork for a fulfilling and rewarding life journey. However, not everything goes as planned sometimes, so you always have to be ready for any situation and outcome.

6. If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?

I would say 8 out of 10. Of course, planning helps us to achieve our objectives in an easier way and know what’s the next step. But, as I said in the question above, not everything goes as planned, and this can make you feel frustrated and wanting to give up. Even so, you need to be ready for every kind of situation.

•How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?

When I was 18, I thought that by now I'd be in another country, graduated from university, an excellent job and income, with a lot of professional experience and with a beautiful family.

•If you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.

I had achieved some of my aims (not all of them), and what I do is just to make a plan and stick to it no matter what, having seconds options are important as well because sometimes not every happen as we want and that it is okay, last minutes changes are okay.

•If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?

As I mentioned in the previous answer, I have not achieved all my aims, and I believe I have not achieved some of them because I did not have a plan. I was just living life; I did not care enough about everything in my life. My life right now is better despite the fact that I did not achieve everything I wanted at this age, but I am so happy that I am working hard to do better.

•How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?

If we want to success, lesson planning is a must, in order to organize our ideas, know the steps to follow and have a clear object of what we want our student to learn.

•How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?

I think it's important because it is a guide that will help us to go in the right path. It’s clear that sometimes we encounter things that are out of our control, but planning helps us to walk towards the future confidentially with a plan A or B.

•If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?

I would give it a 9 because is a guide that will help us to go into the right path, is a process of deciding in advance where we want to get with our goals and how we will achieve them. But as well we have to be flexible in our personal life because sometimes things don't always work out as planned and we just have to accept that.

•How did you envision your life when you were 18 years old?
I thought that by now I'd be graduated from university, with a stable job and a good income and most importantly I thought I'd be an experienced professional.

•If you have achieved your aims, tell me what you did in order to stick to your original plan.
I think that the times I have accomplished my aims, the most important thing is to follow a plan but stick to it no matter what. Also, I think having options in case one thing doesn't work exactly as you want it very important.

•If you have not, let me know how different your life is now in contrast to what you had originally planned. Is it “better” or “worse”?
I think that on the things I haven't achieved by now that I thought I would, I can blame it on maturity. It's not that it could be better or worse, but just a matter of timing. I'd have preferred to be the person I am now earlier!

•How important do you think lesson planning is in terms of education?
I think it's a must. We should follow an order and we should have a clear objective and in order to have that you must plan and organize what you will do in a class to achieve that.

•How important do you think planning is in general terms of life?
I think it's important because it sets the path to follow, but in general, life has a lot of turnarounds. You might plan something but there might be things outside your control that will happen, and you have to make your way through them.

•If you could rate planning from 0 to 10, being 10 the highest grade, what score would you assign it? Why?
I would give it an 8 because as I said it definitely sets a path to follow, it gives clarity to our goals and aims, and it shows what activities we have to make in order to get there, but if we are talking about life, then you can be flexible with planning and not overthink it or over stress about it if it doesn't go the way you want.

1- At the moment I was turning 18 I did not think about anything in particular to do in life neither I knew what was good for me. I have been working in different places but I have not had any luck in any job since I do not find my passion in those ones, and when I found something that I liked the way people manages a company goes against my principles and personality, that is why now that I study and through these years I have been developing my life plan that I now work with some more passion till I achieve it.

2- Since my original plan has been changing these years I think that there is nothing special to do, but now that I have something planned is matter of discipline and constancy to fulfill what I am set.

3- If I compare what I had before with what I have now is much better my present since I know what I want and look after. I still do not have luck in some areas of life but I do what I can any time the motivation comes and propels me to go on.

4- In education, lesson planning is essential for you to follow the correct and effective procedures of a good class. We have checked that having a lesson planning makes our life easier too once we take into account all the variables that come with a classroom.

5- Planning in life is also essential for you to achieve a goal and do not lose pace, but it does not mean that you stick to it one hundred percent because that will be almost impossible, you can vary and change a little from times to times that do not make you feel frustrated because you are not able to follow step by step what you have planned.

6- I would give a 9 to planning since it is not all in terms of life as education, it certainly is helpful, but you can also give room to improvisation and freedom for both areas.

1. When I was 18 years old, I envisioned my life as an exciting adventure full of opportunities and accomplishments. I had ambitious goals, and I dreamed of pursuing a successful career in a field that I was passionate about. I also hoped to travel, experience new cultures, and build meaningful relationships with others.

2.As for achieving my aims, I have made significant progress in certain areas. I worked hard to pursue my desired career path, and I have been able to travel to some amazing places in El Salvador, which has been incredibly fulfilling. To stick to my original plan, I remained focused, set clear goals, and took consistent actions to move closer to my aspirations.

3.However, my life hasn't turned out exactly as I envisioned it at 18. Some aspects have exceeded my expectations, while others have taken unexpected turns. Despite the deviations from my initial plans, I believe my life is "better" overall because I've grown as an individual, learned valuable lessons, and discovered new passions and interests that I hadn't anticipated.

4. In terms of education, I consider lesson planning to be of paramount importance. An effectively planned lesson can make a significant difference in students' learning experiences. It allows educators to structure their content, cater to diverse learning styles, and ensure that students stay engaged and focused. Proper lesson planning enhances the overall educational process, fostering a positive and productive learning environment.

5.Planning is crucial not only in education but also in general terms of life. It provides a roadmap to success, helps us set achievable goals, and keeps us organized and focused. Planning allows us to allocate our time and resources efficiently, which leads to more effective decision-making and better outcomes in various aspects of life, whether it's personal, professional, or social.

6.On a scale of 0 to 10, I would rate planning as a solid 9. Planning has been instrumental in my accomplishments and has brought a sense of structure and direction to my life. However, I leave room for flexibility because unexpected opportunities and challenges can arise, and being adaptable is equally important. So, a 9 reflects the significance of planning while acknowledging the value of adaptability in the journey of life.

1. When I was 18 I was actually thinking to go for a different major, I was into Psychology at that time. I was also really scared of graduating cause I didn't know what was next, in a few weeks things changed unexpectedly and I found out about the Translation and Interpretation major and decided to go for that and I was really excited to start since it felt more like something I was supposed to be doing.

2. After I started my major my goal was to stand out since English is something I really love and over the years I can say that I achieved my goal and I did it just by working hard and most importantly enjoying what I do.

3. Compared to what my original plan was I can't help but be proud of myself on how I was able to manage and face all of the changes that my decisions brought me. My life is so much better now and I honestly can't picture myself in any other major or in any other job not related to languages. So many great things have happened to me and I have had such great experiences over the last few years and all of this wouldn't have happened if I had sticked to my original plan.

4. I think planning is a must, I know that some people like to "go with the flow" but this is not the case most times, if you want to become a great teacher you most certainly have to plan every little thing that you do, I know that becoming obsessed with every detail can be problematic at some point but you have to find the right balance. A good teacher should always have their classes prepared and be confident in what they do.

5. If it applies to education of course it applies to life to, I know that it can get complicated deciding where you want to be in the next 5 years and it can be scary but you need to have some kind of vision. I also know that sometimes life not always goes according to the plan, again, balance. You can't plan what you will do every month of the year 2024 cause most likely unexpected things will happen, they always do.

6. I would rate planning  with an 8, even if your plan fails you can always plan what to do in case something goes the wrong way, or what they call a "Plan B".

6. I would give planning a 7 because I know it is important and it's helpful, but having a plan doesn´t mean everything is going to turn out that way.

5. It is necessary to plan your life. Planning makes your life easier. You know what to do and when to do it. However, everything may not go as planned, but the most necessary things will be accomplished. For example, I wasn't sure what career to choose but I wanted to study; I didn't want to take a gap year to get to know myself and make a choice. So I chose a second option I had and now I'm happy with how things have turned out.

4. Lesson planning is very important if we want to teach successfully. We can´t impart a class without any preparation or it's going to be a total mess, in my opinion. I'm not good at improvising so it would be horrible if I don't do a lesson planning.

3. Some things didn't go as I planned but so far everything is great. I would say things are way better than what I had planned or imagined.

2. I do have achieved some of my goals, personally and academically. Even if I get nervous or anxious, I try to stay focused on what I want and try to experience new things to achieve my goals.

1. When I was 18 years old, I was thinking of choosing Letras as a career at UES. I wanted to become a fantasy novelist. I imagined my journey as a university student as it is portrayed in the movies, having fun and everything haha how silly.

6. I would give it a 7.5.
Less than that would be irresponsible from our side as teachers, but a 9 or a 10 would be too obsessive to my mind. Sometimes teachers have to improvise but of course, we need a good base and experience to get to that point, so maybe for us, as beginners, it would be a 9.

5. Planning is important, even without realizing we are always planning from what we are going to eat in our next meal, to what we plan to do with our lives. Planning helps us be clear on what we want, what we have, and how we have to proceed. However, we sometimes need to be spontasneous.

3. My life is somehow different from what I had thought it would be like when I was 18. Although some things didn´t happen as I had imagined, I am very happy with what I have and I think I have been blessed in many ways. Faith and hard work accompanied with a little humor, and not taking things too seriously is key.

2. I have achieved many of my goals and I think that what has helped is that I am very passionate about what I like and what I want. Even shaking with fear and doubting, I do the things I need to and I think I´m committed. I have struggled for so long when sticking to a rigorous plan, but in general, I am dedicated.

1. When I was 18 I was constantly in dilemmas and worrying too much about the future. I mean, still but... less haha. I was unsure about studying Graphic Design, Psychology or Translation and Interpretation. So I had to make a plan.

5) In terms of life, planning is also important. For example, when it comes to money, you can plan your budget to make the most of it. The same thing happens with time. The more you plan the things, the more advantage you can take of time.

3) My life is very much different in comparison to how I envisioned it when I was 18 years old. However, I understand that "Uno propone y Dios dispone." So, what didn't work, may have a reason/ purpose. I don't understand it, but it was written to be that way. On the other hand, what has been possible to achieve may be because I both planned and worked hard to get it.
