It was only a small mistake but it changed my life for ever
(Sent by Marli Tenorio de Albuquerque, a student from Valencia, Spain)

It was only a small mistake but it changed my life for ever. When I was fifteen years old I thought that I could change all the world but it was my biggest mistake because we can never know about everything.

I dreamt that when I grew up I could be a doctor because my father had a drugstore and I thought that my career was solved. I commented with my brothers that I will be a good doctor, but when I saw all kinds of illness and blood, I couldn't stand looking for the curatives of the people and I made a decision in my life, I preferred to be a teacher and it changed my life.

To be a teacher has many advantages and disadvantages but I think that it is the best career in the world because we have to form a human being, we have to help them in their development of the process of the learning and give them support for their future lives. It isn't a very easy task but with patience we can help many people that are lost in this material world. There are many virtues that we can recognise in their personality and character.

There are a lot of disadvantages such as low salaries, the students don't have much education in their houses, they lost the interests for studying but I think we can fight against the system and do better our profession.

All in all, it was worth changing my career life because all of us need the kindness of the people and the world.
