For me it's really hard to write this blogpost. Should it be personal, or should it be straight to the point?
Although I studied journalism it's never easy to start writing a post. Especially one about yourself. Nerve-wrecking!
Actual depiction of me when I started to write this.
Since I started to talk about my profession, let's just go from there. I worked for one of the biggest newspapers in Venezuela, but decided to stop. I guess this career path wasn't for me, especially in a country where a dictator is in charge. Just giving your opinion freely is dangerous, and I don't want to end up being prosecuted.
On the other hand, my paycheck didn't amount to much so I had to constantly be looking elsewhere for money. Also, it turned out that the stress of the work environment in a newsroom wasn't for me.
Some call it cowardice or survival. I prefer to think I got to know myself better -my wants and expectations out of life. So, here I am teaching English, writing blogposts for clients, and managing online personal branding. It's hard work, but I feel calmer now.
Me when I have some time off.
As for the English teaching part, while studying my degree I worked as a part-time English teacher. So for me it was only natural that at some point I would do it again. Nonetheless, I never imagined it would be right now and always thought it'd be something I'd do after growing older lol.
If you speak Spanish you can learn more about me on LinkedIn.
