Greetings dear Hive readers. I am glad to be here again in this community and I want to tell you about something that is important, the new opportunities. That is why you should always maintain the best attitude so that when it appears you can take advantage of it, leave your mind open. I am convinced that many of you have gone through the same thing, perhaps it has not gone the same way. Here I leave you my experience.
Mi carrera profesional transcurri贸 durante 21 a帽os exactamente, 9 como especialista en educaci贸n primaria, 9 en una coordinaci贸n y 3 en otras funciones. Ejerc铆 desde la segunda etapa de primaria hasta Educaci贸n Universitaria, nunca quise trabajar con los m谩s peque帽os, en la etapa preescolar. Mientras tanto, tambi茅n dediqu茅 algo de tiempo para seguir estudiando. As铆 logre una especializaci贸n en Planificaci贸n y Supervisi贸n de la Educaci贸n y, m谩s adelante una Maestr铆a en Gerencia Educativa.
My professional career lasted exactly 21 years, 9 as a specialist in primary education, 9 in a coordination and 3 in other functions. I worked from the second stage of primary school to University Education, I never wanted to work with the little ones, in the preschool stage. Meanwhile, I also set aside some time to continue studying. Thus I achieved a specialization in Educational Planning and Supervision and, later, a Master's Degree in Educational Management.
Inici茅 mi proceso de jubilaci贸n en mayo de 2021, muy decepcionada entre otras cosas de mis ingresos, y en noviembre de ese mismo a帽o lo consegu铆. Cre铆 que hab铆a terminado mi etapa con el ejercicio de la docencia pero no, justo empezaba una nueva experiencia y muy diferente.
I started my retirement process in May 2021, very disappointed among other things with my income, and in November of that same year I achieved it. I thought I had finished my time in teaching but no, I was just beginning a new and very different experience.
Por recomendaci贸n de una antigua amiga, me llamaron de un colegio privado para ejercer como docente especialista de ingl茅s y nada menos en etapa de preescolar. Estuve a punto de negarme, cabe destacar que nunca trabaj茅 con ese nivel y las exigencias en los colegios privados es mucho mayor. Fui muy honesta con mi jefa en ese sentido, al igual que le dej茅 claro que ten铆a mucha disposici贸n para el trabajo y de aprender lo que fuera necesario. Me ofrecieron un buen sueldo y otros beneficios que me hicieron pensarlo, pero finalmente acept茅.
By recommendation of an old friend, they called me from a private school to work as a specialist English teacher and in the preschool stage no less. I was on the verge of refusing, it should be noted that I have never worked at that level and the demands in private schools are much higher. I was very honest with my boss in that sense, as well as making it clear to her that I was very willing to work and learn whatever was necessary. They offered me a good salary and other benefits that made me think about it, but I finally accepted.
El cambio fue radical, me afect贸 mucho y me cost贸 asimilar las diferencias. Lo que me motiv贸, adem谩s de los ingresos, fueron las condiciones del colegio, en cuanto a mi funci贸n espec铆ficamente. As铆 que tom茅 la firme decisi贸n de continuar, con mucho esfuerzo y empe帽o por hacer exactamente el trabajo para el que fui contratada, por m铆 y por mi familia.
The change was radical, it affected me a lot and it was difficult for me to assimilate the differences. What motivated me, in addition to income, were the conditions of the school, in terms of my role specifically. So I made the firm decision to continue, with a lot of effort and determination to do exactly the job for which I was hired, for myself and my family.
Poco tiempo despu茅s me di cuenta de lo afortunada que fui, y ahora lo confirmo, soy muy afortunada de haber encontrado un buen empleo, donde he aprendido much铆simo, he conocido personas muy buenas como profesionales y como seres humanos. Ni que decir de los ni帽os que me dan tanto d铆a a d铆a, sus abrazos, sus risas, sus ocurrencias y mucho cari帽o.
Shortly after, I realized how lucky I was, and now I confirm it, I am very lucky to have found a good job, where I have learned a lot, I have met very good people as professionals and as human beings. Needless to say, the children who give me so much every day, their hugs, their laughter, their jokes and a lot of affection.
De no haber aprovechado es buena opci贸n, no habr铆a logrado varias cosas que he disfrutado much铆simo y me han colocado en una situaci贸n m谩s c贸moda. A todos no nos va igual, en mi caso, cuando cre铆 que llegaba al final de mi ejercicio docente, pero resulto ser un nuevo comienzo. De acuerdo a esta experiencia les sugiero, no se cierren ante lo desconocido, no siempre es malo, dejen la puerta y su mente abiertas.
If I had not taken advantage of this good option, I would not have achieved several things that I have enjoyed very much and that have put me in a more comfortable situation. Not all of us do the same, in my case, when I thought I was coming to the end of my teaching career, but it turned out to be a new beginning. According to this experience, I suggest that you do not close yourself to the unknown, it is not always bad, leave the door and your mind open.
