Welcome!

yep, that's me!

Welcome to my blog! It is always really exciting to start a new semester and a new course, specially  one like Teaching Practicum I, where we will have the opportunity to experience what it really feels to be an English teacher. In this blog you will find different posts about my experiences in this course, what I have learned, and what I have liked or disliked about it. However, in this particular post I will introduce myself so that you can get to know a little about me.

My name is Bryan Stanley Melgar Rodríguez, I am 20 years old, and I am studying Languages in the teaching field at Don Bosco University. I do not really like to describe myself, I believe that is something that other people should do. However, I consider myself as a friendly person, I believe that friends are a real blessing, and because of this, I appreciate a good friendship. Sometimes, I might seem a little quiet, but you will realize I am very talkative once you really get to know me. I love languages, in fact, one of my goals is to learn as many languages as possible. I am currently working as a customer service representative at  Capital One, a bank from the U.S, so I get to practice my English on a daily basis. Of course, I also love teaching, even though I have not had any professional experience so far. The most relevant experience I have had as an English teacher was while doing my social work, teaching English for the Science Girls project, a program sponsored by the U.S Embassy for teenage girls.

I have many expectations for this course. I know I will learn a lot about how to deal with children, I expect to get to understand the  way they think and behave, as well as all the things I need to know to be an excellent teacher. But not only that, I also expect to have fun and enjoy this course as much as possible.

I invite you to keep visiting my blog so that you can get to see how the Teaching Practicum I course is being developed, and at the same time get to know me better. Feel free to comment, and once again, welcome!
