Mi Historia
Hola! Mi nombre es Luisana, para muchos Luisanapam, Lui, Luisi o simplemente Lu y esta soy yo, sensible, real, humana, con altos y bajos, a veces divago, escribo lo que siento y pienso, y eso será un poco lo que veras en mis posts, un poco sobre mí en mi día a día, en mis viajes, en mis clases de Inglés, en mi cocina, en mis historias de amor y de la vida.
My story
A few hours and a few more have passed by and It’s been challenging to start writing this for you people, since, like many things and decisions in life, to start a journey, to take the first step towards something, is usually the hardest part of such journey, and if we add to this the fact of talking about yourself, to put into words how you see yourself, we could say the task is twice as complicated, but here we go... Hello! My name is Luisana, for many people Luisanapam, Lui, Luisi or simply Lu and this is me, sensitive, real, human, with ups and downs, sometimes I ramble, I write what I feel and think, and you might eventually notice that on my posts, a little about me in my everyday life, in my trips, in my English classes, in my kitchen, in my stories about love and life.
Nací en la Ciudad de Maturín, una pequeña ciudad en el este de Venezuela, pero mi corazón y mis raíces están en el pueblito de mi madre donde me crié y viví los mejores años de mi niñez, jugando con barro, a las escondidas, trepándome en árboles y haciendo a un sinfín de actividades físicas divertidas que me llevaron a una niñez feliz, junto a mis mejores amigos y hermanos de vida -mis primos. Al recordar esto, mi mente inmediatamente me lleva a mi lugar feliz, el patio trasero de mi casa, y mis ojos se llenan de lágrimas, de nostalgia por haberlo vivido, por extrañarlo y estar agradecida.
I was born in the city of Maturin, a small city in the east of Venezuela, but my heart and my roots are in my mother's little town where I grew up and lived the best years of my childhood, playing with mud, hide and seek, climbing trees and doing an endless number of fun physical activities that led me to a happy childhood, together with my best friends and siblings in life - my cousins. Remembering this, my mind immediately takes me back to my happy place, the backyard of my house, and my eyes fill with tears, with nostalgia for having lived it, for missing it and being grateful for it.
Soy la menor de 5 hermanos, dos hermanos, y dos hermanas. Mi relación con mis hermanos no ha sido la mejor, la más cercana, pero mis hermanas, especialmente mi hermana mayor, siempre ha sido mi apoyo, mi mejor amiga, mi confidente, mi segunda mamá, la mujer que al momento de mi nacimiento, me dio calor en sus brazos, me convirtió en su muñeca de carne y huesos, como siempre me llama y me enseñó que el amor es servicio. Mis padres se divorciaron cuando yo era muy pequeña, por lo que, desde entonces no he tenido mucho contacto con mi padre, recuerdo que siempre trabajaba en otras ciudades y al regresar, nos llevaba a comer helados, tal vez por eso amo los helados. Hoy en día, intenta estar más presente y compensar haber estado ausente por mucho tiempo, me escribe a diario, y es mi apoyo con lo que sea que necesite y esté a su alcance. Por otro lado, por obvias razones, siempre fui más apegada a mi madre; ella, a pesar de su enfermedad (trastorno bipolar), la cual extenderé con más detalles en otro post, siempre intentó criarnos, educarnos y que nada nos falte; a pesar de no saber cómo demostrar amor con palabras, cariño o afecto, su amor siempre vino a través de actos de servicio, y ese tipo de amor, fue puro e intenso.
I am the youngest of 5 siblings, two brothers, and two sisters. My relationship with my siblings has not been the best, the closest, but my sisters, especially my oldest sister, has always been my support, my best friend, my confidant, my second mom, the woman who, at the moment of my birth, embraced me into her arms, I became her living doll, as she always calls me and taught me that love is service. My parents divorced when I was very little, so, since then, I have not had much contact with my father; I remember he was always working in other cities and when he came back, he would take us to eat ice cream, maybe that's why I love ice cream now. Nowadays, he tries to be more present and to compensate for having been absent for a long time, he writes to me every day, and he is my support with whatever I need and is within his reach. On the other hand, for obvious reasons, I was always closer to my mother; she, despite her illness (bipolar disorder), which I will talk about in more detail in another post, always tried to raise us, educate us and make sure we lacked nothing; despite not knowing how to show love with words or affection, her love always came through acts of service, and that kind of love, was pure and intense.
Teacher Luisana
Más tarde culminé una Maestría en la Enseñanza del Inglés como Lengua Extranjera y obtuve un certificado CELTA (Certificado internacional para la enseñanza del Inglés a adultos), y me he dedicado a la enseñanza del inglés por 10 años.
As I grew older, and I had access to American TV series, my love and interest towards English increased. I was unconsciously learning words, expressions, developing my ability to understand, and in my school years, I started to teach others, so I became an English teacher.
Later on I completed a Masters in English Teaching as a Foreign Language and got a CELTA certificate (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults), and I have been an English Teacher for 10 years.
Durante estos 10 años he trabajado en colegios, institutos,y a nivel universitario - lo cual amé-, con niños desde 3 años hasta adultos mayores, de forma tradicional en un salón de clases y virtual como lo he venido haciendo por los últimos 3 años. Es muy gratificante pasar tus conocimientos a otras personas, ver como tus estudiantes evolucionan en el lenguaje y todo gracias a tu trabajo, que la clase culmine y recibir un “excelente clase teacher, lo disfruté mucho”, conocer la historia de muchos de ellos y entablar amistades con muchos otros. Es impresionante como la enseñanza cambia tu estado de ánimo; muchas veces he estado pasando por situaciones personales difíciles, momentos en los que no quieres ni levantarte de la cama, pero llega la hora de la clase y te levantas, te lavas la cara y te arreglas, unos segundos antes de la clase intentas poner tu mejor sonrisa, entras a la reunión e inmediatamente tu ánimo comienza a cambiar, te enfocas en vivir el momento presente, y dar lo mejor de ti para lograr tu objetivo como maestro. Terminas tu clase, y tu actitud, tu perspectiva de la vida ha cambiado.
During these 10 years, I have worked in schools, colleges, at university level -which I loved-, with children from 3 years old to seniors, traditionally in a classroom and virtually as I have been doing for the last 3 years. It is very rewarding to pass on your knowledge to other people, to see how your students evolve in the language and all of that thanks to your work, to receive positive comments at the end of the class as "excellent class teacher, I enjoyed it very much", to get to know the story of many of them and to establish a friendship with many others. It is amazing how teaching changes your mood; sometimes I have been going through difficult personal situations, moments in which you don't even want to get out of bed, but class time arrives and you get up, wash your face and get ready, a few seconds before class you try to put your best smile, you enter the meeting and immediately, your mood starts to change, you focus on living the present, and give the best of you to achieve your goal as a teacher. You finish your class, and your attitude, your perspective of life has changed.
Me gusta...
Dicen que el eje fundamental de una vida feliz es hacer lo que te gusta, y estoy de acuerdo, entonces una de las cosas que me hace más feliz es apreciar la naturaleza y descubrir el mundo. A lo largo de mi vida, nunca tuve la oportunidad de conocer más que algunos lugares cercanos a mi ciudad natal, pero siempre anhelaba llegar más allá. Hace unos años, debido a la crisis económica por la cual ha venido atravesando mi país, me vi en la necesidad de emigrar, en busca de algo mejor, una mejor calidad de vida y Colombia fue el país que me recibió, que me dio cobijo y se convirtió en mi hogar por algunos años. En este tiempo, pude conocer diversos lugares de este hermoso país, desde sus majestuosas montañas, ríos de agua turquesa y cristalina, el Mar Caribe con sus aguas inmaculadas, los diversos colores en la flora y la diversidad de su fauna, lo que despertó en mí la curiosidad de descubrir cada rincón del mundo. Solo pido a Dios y a este universo que nos arropa, salud y vida para llegar más allá, a cada rincón, y ver lo que mis ojos no han podido ver aún de este hogar que llamamos Tierra.
What I love…
It is said that the fundamental key of a happy life is to do what you love, and I agree, so one of the things that makes me happy is appreciating nature and discovering the world. Throughout my life, I never had the opportunity to know more than a few places near my hometown, but I always longed to go further. A few years ago, due to the economic crisis that my country has been going through, I felt the need to emigrate in search of something better, a better quality of life and Colombia was the country that welcomed me, that gave me shelter and became my home for a few years. During this time, I was able to know different places of this beautiful country, from its majestic mountains, turquoise and crystalline rivers, the Caribbean Sea with its immaculate waters, the different colors in the flora and the diversity of its fauna, which awakened in me the curiosity to discover every corner of the world. I only ask God and this universe that surrounds us, health and life to reach further, to every corner, and see what my eyes have not yet been able to see of this home we call Earth.
Por otro lado, estoy casi segura de que mi parte creativa del cerebro está más desarrollada que la parte lógica y poco a poco he venido descubriendo habilidades en mí que nunca había pensado. He descubierto que me gusta cocinar y hacer postres para compartir en familia, hacer manualidades con papel de colores y otros materiales, lo que seguro verán más adelante, así como escuchar y dar consejos.
On the other hand, I am almost sure that the creative part of my brain is more developed than the logical part and little by little I have been discovering abilities in me that I had never thought of before. I have discovered that I enjoy cooking and making desserts to share with my family, making crafts with colored paper and other materials, which I'm sure you will see later, as well as listening and giving advice to close friends.
En fin, esta soy yo, o al menos una parte de mí. Estoy muy complacida de estar aquí y ser parte de esta comunidad, contarles más sobre mí, de mis emociones y pensamientos, de mi día a día. Estoy muy feliz de poder intercambiar conocimientos, experiencias y aprender juntos. Siempre he tenido este interés por escribir, y qué mejor manera de hacerlo que a través de esta gran comunidad.
Anyway, this is me, or at least a part of me. I am very pleased to be here and to be part of this community, to tell you more about me, about my emotions and thoughts, about my everyday life. I am very happy to be able to exchange knowledge, experiences and learn together. I have always had this interest in writing, and what better way to do it than through this great community.
Remember to be kind, be strong, be you.
A warm hug
