Motivation
Hi, my name is Mario, I am a Peruvian teacher of grammar, literature, English and Spanish. I was born in a poor family of 5 siblings.
In my opinion, the best thing my parents gave me was education. My mother was a person who could not finish secondary education; My father was able to go to university, study and work was the story of his life, unfortunately he was never able to overcome his alcoholism.
I want to think that everything that has happened to us, all the people we have met, all the pain, suffering, hunger, cold and lack that we have had, all the small moments of happiness; In short, everything we have experienced has made us the people we are. The past will not change if I look at it with bitterness and resentment, but if I take it as lessons that I had to learn to be able to do things in the present, then we will know that there was a reason for everything.
Let’s start using our experiences to understand other people and help them.
So, I know that education can provide chances and a change in the vicious circle of poverty.
