Essay:
**DECISION TO BECOME A TEACHER**

“**__Perhaps__** no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.” – Gene Fowler. When I was a little girl I did not care about my future because I knew I was too young to worry, __but this feeling happened__ until I was in my last semester of high school. I used to listen to my friends talking about universities, majors, and opportunities; however I did not have any idea where and what I was going to stud__y, s__o I started to search __some__ information. I analyzed the situation __putting in__to account my **__strengths__** and weaknesses, **__besides__** I made a list of my best options: Technologies, fashion designer and English Language Teaching. It was difficult to choose since I had some points in favor and some points against __of__ each one of my options.

My first option was Information and communication __T__echnology since I had studied this before in high school. I had some good reasons why to choose this major, but at the same time I had some bad ones. One point in favor was that some of my best friends were going to study it, so I wanted to be as close as possible to them. Another point was that I had some interests about programming; therefore I was good doing it. Also I had some points __against__, which the first one was that this major was a little complicated, and I had to spend my whole life in front of a computer. Another point __against__ was that I did not agree to work in a close, sad, and cold office for the rest of my life. __It was not fun__, and I could not enjoy my job. The last point __against__ was that I had to be **__current__** because the technology grows and grows over time. If I wanted to have a good job I had to be so prepared. Even though I had studied __Technology Information and communication__ before, I wanted to find a more interesting major like fashion designer.

My second option was fashion designer because since I was a child one of my passions was to design clothes, yet as Information and communication Technology I had some advantages and disadvantages about studying this major. One disadvantage was that in Mexico I was not going to find a good job easily unless I started my own company. It might be interesting to create it, yet I had to sell my clothes so cheaply. I __do__ not like at all this idea because I would earn little money. One more disadvantage was that I __just draw__ when I have a lot of free time. I also had very good advantages, so the first one was that I love to sew, even though I am __so tired, bored, sad, etc.__ When I do it I feel relaxed. Another advantage was that I like to create new clothes, and most __of people__ used to say that I had __ability__ doing this. Unlike TIC I had more advantages, yet unfortunately the disadvantages were stronger. I was not convinced at all with my options, so I took more one option, English Language Teaching.

Finally my third option was ELT (English Language Teaching), //**Comma usage**//. due to my big passion of learning almost 100% of the language. As I mentioned in my back option I also had some good reasons to study it. And in this case I had just a bad reason __to do__ not study it. My best reason was my good ability to learn languages, especially English. Another one was that my job would be lovely for me because when you are teacher as well as you teach, you learn from your students. The best reason was that I can travel to any country, and I could share or teach my language and my culture. I can start working before I finish my major, and it is great. __The last and bad reason__ was that when I am in front of a group I am so nervous. This major has been the one that has fewer disadvantages; it makes it have more advantages than the others. __I had thought at all__ about my decision, but it was time to take the best major __to__ me, which in my opinion was ELT. I had different ideas in main; it was going to be one of the most important decisions in my life. I finally chose ELT, which was the best way to follow during my future. Right now I am in propaedeutic course, and I do not regret choosing this major.
