when I was a child, I wanted to work as a veterinary medicine. I dreamed with a lot of animals around me. I wished that years could pass quickly to have my own ''hospital'' and cure my special patient.
Now I'm thirty-two years old and I'm not aveterinay, I'm teacher. I work in a primary school in Badalona, and I help children to learn some traditions, subjects and habilities. It's a difficult task because usually family belong to low social class in the society and don't have enough money. Other families are from another country and aren't legal here. They don't have work and in some cases they live of the charity.
All these things damage children's education, and can't concentrate in their homework. Some of them arrive at Catalonia without knowing our language, but surprisingly, after two or three months they can speak a little.
There are people that think that to be teacher is an easy job:well paid and too many holidays. But nowadays that thougt isn't real, and if you don't believe me, I invite you to visit my school for a day!
