Here is my opinion after watching the video

Hello everybody,

People reach success and then fail because they are not used to work hard to keep going it through the whole life.

In my opinion, students fail because as Richard said they focus in other things when they are getting better rewards. As a result, they lose the main purpose of why they begin that journey.

According to my experience, I have seen loads of kids that start to get great grades in order to get rewards such as video games, candies, clothes, and so on. So in the long run, they will forget the point of being at school, studying everyday, or thinking about teachers, they will forget what made them think about teaching.

What do you think? I bet you have seen children like those,

Have a good day,

XOXO

Hello everybody,

I have to say that when I started to write about my personal success, I couldn't do it without a little help. I believe that I have to ask to the witnesses of my life to remember about it. This time Jodo helped me.

So when I was in my internship I created a strong bond between the little girls and me. I learnt a lot from them but I strongly believe that they learnt from me too.

My first internship couldn't mean what it is today without the girls. Moreover, in our last day at school the little girls were crying just like I did too. But despite this, they said beautiful things and also wrote me great letters that gave me an enormous sense of achievement.
That day when everything was supposed to end I realized how much they had changed.

I promised to go back and have a happy time together. So when I did it things went badly at first but turned out well in the end. The thing was that one of my partners couldn't make it so some of the girls got sad. Anyway, we had a blast!

I see hope and a bright future for them.

I look forward to see your comments,

XOXO
