I am very constant in most of the things  I do. Some years ago another teacher and I were proposed to start  and open a new state school in a place not very well located in the city. Colleagues thought that it would be impossible to create a school there, that families would choose it for their kids....  We worked hard at the beginning with only a few students , but after 10 years the school is completely full and the group of teachers are permanent. It was a challange. It needed timed, work, effort and team work. I am proud of it.

Trying to understand each child´s personality, alwyas encourage them, congratulate them every time time they deserve it, Being sympathetic with all of them, accepting them in their diversity, not comparing them, trust them, value and respecting them,
