I completed the basic primary stage (Grade 5th) with honor and excellence mentions, I was very responsible and I really liked going to study, in large part I owe that to my primary teacher who was a motivation for me. At the end of that year, I got my first achievement! (I wanted to be a fashion designer)

I repeated the eighth grade in 2014, for me it was very strong since because of this my family and I moved to another place where my father currently works (Caquetá). Finally, it didn't become so bad since I made excellent friends at the IER Juan XXIII in Morelia, Caquetá.

I started 11th grade with the best attitude, I think it was the best year of school I had. I tried and explored too many things, I had a lot of fun.

One of the positive things that this year brought was the focus on wanting to be a teacher and much more about English.

Definitely, it was the first step that would take me to the path where my dreams would come true (I wanted to be an English teacher).

2019

maiiravive — 2021-02-25 01:45:20 UTC

This really was a difficult year for me. Well, in the previous year when taking the ICFES exam, I had a health problem that prevented me from continuing with the exam, and as expected I had a very low score, this really marked me and traumatized me a lot.

I tried to enroll in a psychology under degree at the Universidad de la Amazonia, but I didn't even attend the interview (I was so demotivated)

However, with the support of my family, I decided to continue preparing and in August of that year I took the ICFES again. Everything went excellent, and I was immensely happy.

In 2021, I continued to give my best to have good academic results, and that was the case. That year, although still virtual, we had the opportunity to have a small experience as teachers for a day, and we finally met in person! :) Everything was very nice.

2022

maiiravive — 2023-04-09 03:08:46 UTC

In 2022, I began to study in a face-to-face way, I had very pleasant moments, and I met very special people, I also went through difficult times due to the responsibility I had with myself regarding my studies, and although a little exhausted by everything that that entails, Deep down, I felt satisfied to be there, because no matter how tired I sometimes felt regarding academic matters, I also remembered all the effort I had made to have the opportunity to study what I wanted, and that was a great motivation.

2023

In 2023, new challenges arise as it is the year in which I am experimenting with my approach to teaching practicum in a real context. Currently, I am in the eighth semester of the LLEEI program and I feel very happy to be where I am, and although I know that I still have many experiences and challenges to face, I am willing to give my all and continue striving to achieve my goal, get my graduation and make proud those who have been my fundamental support on this path, my family.

In the middle of the year, the virtual academic year began due to the pandemic, it was very difficult for me since everything was new, but little by little I got used to it, I was very dedicated and dedicated, and I tried a lot, and although it was complicated, I tried always improve my English skills. Regarding the results in academic performance, I did very well, all my perseverance and effort were reflected there.
