Hello from Peru ¡¡¡¡¡¡ Follow your heart¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Hi guys this is my first experience blogging in this amazing page. Well my name is Lily I´m 26 years old ,I have been married for 2 years and eleven months, soon we will be 3 years I will noticed about that. I´m from Peru an enriched country to show you.
In this opportunity I will love to share my own experience with this beautiful language “English”. Let me tell you that I´ve studied accounting for 5 years .When I was finishing my high school I was wondering myself what am I going to do in my life? I liked English a lot but there was a pressure to choose an specific career.(I think when we are young we start to make our own decisions, what a tough point¡¡¡¡) So a cousin of mine told me about accounting I thought was interesting but I wasn´t sure enough. Finally I entered to the university with this option accounting
Besides that I always being in contact with English, I finished studying Intermediate level but I couldn´t continue with it because I couldn´t afford it cause I had the university payment. Well the point is during my years at the university I met my dear friends : Hugo, Jacky Chang( I always call her like that), Renato, George, Katty. Those people were with me all the time . There are so many things to remember when you are at the university the teachers, the time that you spend studying with your friends, the memories of our relationship.
Well there was the time when I started to work at the Travel agency in account´s area it was nice but too much work that
I´ve thought .Suddenly months later I tried to work not only in accounting ,I worked as a counter .I took a course where there was a software for travelling very interesting topic.
So Life brought me again my “English partner” thanks God that my country has many sightseeing to visit and I prepared travel´s packages.
I usually talked with foreign people which I really love , cause I could speak and knew amazing people and countries through them (even, I didn´t travel abroad)that’s the magic of English.
After that I realized that I feel useful through this language. Then I quite my job and again I worked at English Institute in the same area I´m thankful God that through accounting I had job but it wasn´t enough for me.
I took a course EFL ( English as a Foreign Language) because inside of me there was a strong feeling for being English Teacher. I finished it and I was wondering again am I really happy working as an accountant? The answer was NO, so I decided to quite and looking for I really love Teaching English .
I was looking for a job and I entered at an English Institute for being an English Teacher at least my dream comes true¡¡¡¡
I like to study more and learning more so the next step I´m going t take an International Exam FCE this year wish me luck
One day before starting working on what I really love I was in my mom´s house and she had a notebook with some phrases and I read :
God won´t ask you how many things have you done, but how much love have you put in everything that you have done
This phrase changes my mind and gave me forces to follow my heart
Best regards guys
Lily

Hello Lilly, What a great phrase you wrote at the end of your entry.I´m much older than you and life has also taught me this... that we must love what we do! Welcome to the teaching field! I am also an English teacher here in Brazil and love what I do, despite the meagre income! I have a funny cousin who says that we, teachers, are not badly paid , we are badly married! What do you think? I have a good friend from Peru who teaches Spanish here in Brazil! She is so full of energy and always so happy. A very positive and lively friend!I love her! And reading your entry I could feel the same Peruvian energy! What is the magic in the air that makes you be so special! Does it have to do with the Indian blood that runs in your veins? Love, Monica

Hi Lily! I am happy to read such a phrase, you wrote in your last paragraph. It inspires me to learn English. And a good teacher inspires her students to learn. I like English very much, but I don't have enough time to go school. Of course, I studied English in school, but now I have a firm and I am always working. I found a way to save my Engish. I am reading books one after another and watching films. And I have a dream. If I have a little time, I will go to a real English school in UK. Have a nice blogging! Have a nice teaching!
