Presentation

Hello, everyone!

     In this blog, you will find my journal about my practicum process in English, at UPB School, located in Medellín, Colombia. This is not only a blog to store my classes but to reflect about my learning process in teaching where you must play your aces in order to have a successful class. As well, there is an approach to my context, to the place where I am currently enrolled doing what I like the most: teaching, and also learning, not only how to teach but how to being a human.

Welcome and have a nice time.
