Interviewing Teachers
By: Gabriela Fernández Díaz 10-B
Describe yourself using three words, then tell us what’s something you hope for.
Leonardo Pizón:
I think the three words that best describe myself are determined, perfectionist, and creative. Something I hope for is to learn more about my professional life, which includes to be a better teacher, learn to be a good leader in the Art Department, and how to be a good artist, so I try everyday to see different artists and artworks to find inspiration. Also, I hope to become a better person day by day, yet not being too harsh on myself.
Lara Gonzalez:
I consider myself as kind, responsible, and happy. Well, maybe it’s a grown up wish, but I hope for stability, a lot of inner peace, and to be able to enjoy as well as see how things grow in a specific place; because I have traveled so much during my life that I need to stay still and be able to delight over the things that happen in my life.
Lorena Cardenas:
I am honest, dedicated, and empathetic. I dream that one day I can have a house somewhere calm, where there is no noise from the city, and where I can go out to breathe. Even more, with the pandemic that’s going on I would like to be able to have it. Lastly, something that I really hoped for and that I already achieved was to have my master's degree in chemistry.
Noel Rodriquez:
I would describe myself as someone loyal with things and people that I love, like for example with my family, my friends, and my work. I also think that I am a passionate person with everything I do in my daily life. First, I am passionate about my work as a teacher, and likewise I love to cook. My last characteristic is that I am a very curious person who always tries to see how I can improve and learn about my surroundings and the reality of my life.
Well, I have always been a dreamer, and I have had a lot of opportunities during my life since from seven brothers I was the only one who could study. I won a scholarship and went to Europe to study there, so I have accomplished many of my goals. I am very proud of my family and my beautiful daughter too: she is my happiness. Finally, at this moment I hope for the acceptance of my document to start a doctorate, so that in this way I can continue in my learning journey while everyday I can keep enjoying every moment of my life.
Magdalena Saenz:
I am disciplined, uncomplicated, and sweet. What I hope is that at some point in the future there is peace, and that everyone can be good in terms of acting and thinking without having to resort to violence. On the other hand, individually I hope to find both the best path in my life and the happiest project of it. Even though I haven’t found it yet, I am still searching and learning from every experience that life brings me
Diego León:
I consider myself respectful, organized, and honest. My hope is that I can buy a big house, but not in Bogotá, I want it in a small town. I wish to enjoy the best moments with my family there, where I can find peace, silence, and different landscapes that I could enjoy. Also, a different environment would be cool; still, I would need to work here in the city, of course.
Angela Mancipe:
I would describe myself as someone strict, missionary, and responsible. Something I hope is to have a piece of land where I can take care of nature and plants, have animals, and reforest the area. Another dream that I hope to achieve someday is going to the Holy Land, because I was supposed to visit it last year but due to the pandemic I couldn't go.
Juan Camilo Acuña:
I think I am calm, strong, and happy. One of my dreams to fulfill,and that I really hope to achieve, is to be able to form an orchestra. I would love to be able to have a great presentation and be the conductor! On the other hand, a dream that I already fulfilled was to see my favourite animal: a gorilla. While I was in university I had the opportunity to play in Chicago in a festival, which allowed me to go to the zoo and see them. I like gorillas because I think that they are so strong but at the same time calm, and I kind of see myself represented in them.
Nancy Espitia:
I am spontaneous, sincere, and patient. A dream that I really want to fulfill is that, when I retire, I want to move to the coast along with my husband and live, not in a big city, but in a small town near the beach. One of the dreams that I am proud to have already achieved is to see my oldest daughter be a professional, and even though that is not something I did, I am very proud of her. It’s incredible to be able to watch how she has become a grown woman who is an excellent human being that always cares about others.
