It was the perfect day to do some planning. Taking the time on a regular basis to think about the things I want to do and accomplish is essential for feeling I have control in your life. Without a concrete plan, reaching your goals can be almost impossible. Just as you wouldn’t build a house without a set of plans, it isn’t wise to build a life without one either.
We had a meeting at the school where I work today. Both my coordinator and director were there. Among the pedagogical topics, we sure needed to point out the situation the country is in. We all had to. We are in the beginning of a crisis, and the low number of people taking language classes scares us. I work for a known Language school in Brazil, this would let my thoughts in peace, but it does not. We heard today, that other schools, along with other secondary services have been suffering for some time. Well, at least I know I´m not alone. And I really dont feel good.
We are all optimistic though. Our bosses do pass this feeling to everyone. Have I ever mentioned how much I like what I do, and how much I love the place I work in? I guess so, but in tough times like this the feeling is stronger. And I do know how lucky I am.
Working in a place where people respect and like each other is indeed an important feature to the success of the employees and the company. There is respect for the individual and personal lives, meanwhile we are all connected by the sense of professional growth.
Classes will start tomorrow, and I can´t wait to meet my new students…
Another drawing. This time, I decided to change style. Think it´s good for a first time…*ahem* hope it gets better by the time. I have been lucky with changes so far. There were times I feared doing that, and I just stayed still. I´m not just mentioning the drawings, but life in general. For many times, I didnt try changing because deep inside I was afraid of comiting mistakes. But, as a teacher, I know that if there is no mistake… there is no learning.
You have a nice weekend!
