Why I want to become a professor? I am writing to you in order to state my professional motives for being a “C English trainer”. I am a professional trainer with 7+ years in the field of training: designing courses, delivering training and training trainers. As a psychologist, my focus is human behavior and I have been focused in adult learning since I was in college. I love training adults because, as constructivism says, people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. For me, it is fascinating to apply psychopedagogical techniques during the training, and every single time I see how people benefit from them. What I love the most is when people say “thank you”. They prove how much they have improved during the course, and the best of it is that they apply what they have learned in their work. It motivates me to do my best for finding new ways to make their learning significant. Since I have trained trainers, I know how important is for trainers: be qualified, possess deep knowledge of the topic they are teaching, can explain clearly to their students and solve their doubts. I am compromised with that so if I became a “C English trainer”, I am eager to ensure that the English professors in my class accomplish all those requirements before they teach. In other hand, English is an important language that is required in this globalized world. Hence, for many bachelor´s degrees, nowadays it is mandatory to demonstrate an intermedium English level in order to get their license. It is proven that children learn easily a second language than adults. Thus, if they are taught English in primary school and gain a solid base of the language, it will be easier for them to get a medium level when they graduate from university; compared with the past generations (like mine) when students started learning English in high school. For that reason, it is preponderant that teachers of elementary school acquire the English language so they will be able to contribute to the integral formation of the leaders of the future Mexico. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

My celebration of Independence day in Mexico City Today, in Mexico is commemorated our independence from Spain. Many kind of celebrations take place within the country but I am going to talk about how independence day will be celebrated in my city, and particularly for me and my husband. The most important celebration is held in "Zocalo", where the president will shout the cry of independence (grito de independencia) about 11:00 pm. Apart of Zocalo, we have 12 counties in Mexico City, each one has its town hall and a celebration is hosted there. There are two town halls near home, they belong to "Benito Juarez" and "Coyoacan" counties. We are going to both of them, where there will be a verbena. First, we are going to "Coyoacan". There will be folkloric ballet, marimba and mariachi. This place is about 4 km far from home and we will return when the mariachi ends its performance. Then, we are going to "Benito Juarez". There will be fireworks and musical bands. In this place we will hear the cry of independence. This place is about 1 km from home so we can come back by walking when we feel like. By the way, we ate pozole, which is a very typical food eaten today!
