I have never dreamt to be a teacher, but the situation changed six years ago, during high school, when

one of my instructors who was teaching Romanian Literature and Language and the psychologist from the school offered me the opportunity to be part of different activities which involved working with children from a variety of social environments such as families with a single parent, families in which domestic violence was on a regular basis, orphans or teenagers who were engaged in juvenile delinquency and whose life prospects were to work abroad as they parents did. In the first place, it was a challenge for me to face the situation of being the one providing the information, the one that was suppose not to give pieces of advice but to become a mentor or a facilitator. On the other hand, this experience of working both with children and teenagers in the last six years contributed to my personal growth because I had to deal with different characters and temperaments and I understood that each and every one is unique and it is not worthless to dedicate my life to a purpose in which I invest time and soul as an artist does with his/her creations. Moreover, it is often said that teachers have the easiest job in the world because they only have to stand in front of the classroom and talk for hours, maybe to evaluate and give marks to his/her students, but in fact, in the backstage starts the adventure. I compare teaching with acting because no matter what my problems are someone expects me to be there for him/her and pupils become every day my audience.
