It’s a very good question, though I can’t really say that I did choose this job myself. The thing is that both my parents are teachers themselves, they teach students at university and all my childhood I saw these two professionals and I could watch their life, their work because I often spent my free time at the university where they worked. That’s why this sort of life was kind of normal for me. I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else but I can say that what I chose was this specialty. I really enjoyed learning foreign languages, the sound of them, the idea of being able to travel without borders, without limits, communicating with people of different cultures. That’s why I became the teacher of English, learning some other languages as a bonus. In a way, I followed in my parents’ footsteps and this choice actually proved to be a good one. I have never heard any regrets about it.

It's a very good question, though I can't really say that I chose this job myself. The thing is that both my parents are teachers; they teach students at university, and throughout my childhood, I saw these two professionals and could observe their life and work because I often spent my free time at the university where they worked. That's why this sort of life was kind of normal for me. I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else, but I can say that what I chose was this specialty. I really enjoyed learning foreign languages, the sound of them, the idea of being able to travel without borders, without limits, and communicate with people from different cultures. That's why I became a teacher of English, learning some other languages as a bonus. In a way, I followed in my parents' footsteps, and this choice actually proved to be a good one. I have never had any regrets about it.
