When I begin writing this text I realice that dreams come true.
My parents said to me as a child: what is going to be for you, some not too far away will be for you¡¡ if you fight and believe, your dreams will reach, and so it has been. I am so happy¡¡ And I thank God for this opportunity.
Since I was a child I knew what I liked, teaching and loving the younger ones, as the years went by, the more I felt sure what I wanted. After I have done it and since I put it into practice to this day, I am passionate about what I do and I feel more able to educate patiently, understanding, respect, constancy, dedication and from unconditional love to those children who every day and every minute tech me about wonderful life, with their innocence, their simplicity, tenderness and love.
I am a teacher of the most significant stage of life, key to development, provides knowledge, enriches the culture, spirit and values of a human being, where fundamental social and emotional psychic abilities are acquired and lays the foundations of what the individual will be in the future. Childhood education helps the youngest to learn to be what is capable of being. I feel blessed and privileged by them ¡
I will be part of this Project SOMOS COLORES. And I’m going to enjoy it to the fullest, always looking for new proposals and alternatives. Learning and Growing day by day with and for the little ones.
Promoting socialization, respect and free environment and accompanying the children of our school.
‘’The secret of good teaching is to consider the child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds can be sown, to grow in the heat of a Brand-new imagination. Therefore, my goal is not only for the child to understand and even less force him to memorize, but to stir his imagination to enthusiaze him to his heart.’’
