The best teacher in my life

I write these words to dedicate the best teacher I came across in my life, his name was Pedro and apparently seemed hard.

Pedro was the best teacher in my life, he taught me that there are few things comparable to the free-thinking intellectual, excitement of seeing a student has their own opinions. Living the time where a student arrives at establishing a discussion as equals, on certain issues, it justifies many years of efforts and subjectivity have been able to instill our best teachers.

Pedro was my teacher when I studied EGB 3rd in my village with 8 years old. I remember how he taught us to read, add, subtract, making summaries, and make us think about different things in life.

His classes were fun and full of great movement. Each lesson was to explore and full of surprises, with a relaxed and comfortable environment, which was incomparable with the other subjects.

He had an uncanny ability to explain concepts, give each student personal attention, and when someone did not understand, did not duplicate the explanation, but he turned around with incredible metaphors. I understood then that metaphors are essential to teach science, because it is a direct route to understanding the complex, and even the inaccessible.

Don Pedro even became our little confessor, because when something bothered me he could give me some advice to ease my concerns, making me feel special.

It was one of the people who inspired me to dedicate myself to teaching, for his patience, tolerance and their high expectations for their students, they were like whatever.

In conclusion I mean D.Pedro gave his life to education, and thanks to him many of his students still have a commitment to society and future generations.

The great importance of coming across in our life with someone who is able to awaken in us a vocation, help us know our limitations and realize this potential we do not know we have. I hope these words help you understand why my vocation as a teacher and the model that I try to follow to beat me every day as a person.
