Today has been
one of the most important days of my life, because after 4 years studding Teaching at the University of Valencia, I’ve graduated. It means that all
efforts have been worthwhile and that I’m already prepared to be a teacher.
First of all, I
would like to thank my family for supporting and encouraging me to go after my dream,
and my classmates to teach me that nothing unites more people than fighting for
the same objective. And, of course, I
would also like to thank all the teachers for leading by example, to make us
love, respect and value our job, to make us understand how important it is for
the future society, and to make us believe in ourselves. I’m sure that, in some years, the Education in
our country will be much better thanks to the new generation of teachers, but
you are the ones that are planting the seed and that are fighting for a necessary
change.
So, another
stage of our life ends, and now, an uncertain but exciting future is waiting
for us!

The Teacher’s poem
Educating
is like putting an engine on a boat:
You have
to measure, weight, balance,
and set it
all in motion.
But to do
that,
one has to
have in his soul
a bit of a
sailor,
a bit of a
pirate.
a bit of a
poet,
and 3 pounds of concentrated
patience.
But
it’s comforting to dream
while
you are working,
that
that boat, that child
will
go far away by the water.
To
dream that that boat
will
take our load of words
to
distant ports,
to
distant islands.
To
dream that when, one day,
our
own boat will be sleeping,
in
new boats will continue
our
peaked flag.
(Gabriel
Celaya)
