I lived with an American family for 5 years and 2 months. I took care of their children and damn did I do a good job [big shoes to fill in for the next sitters man!]. They moved to Tennessee [yes, southwest of the US - or somewhere down south with cowboys and stuff]. They have a sweet/super/annoyingly/big house. The kids are struggling with the change but I'm hoping they'll get over it.
While I'm here - struggling with my own big changes - trying to get a decent job, working on my student/teaching [and enjoying it as heck I might add], living in an old house with way too many roommates LoL
But life goes on...
You may feel like the earth stopped moving around you - like everyone's lives keep on going and possibly improving ... but yours ?? hmmm ... yeah, keeps going too !!
Now I just have to keep on fighting for my dreams, for everything I've set for myself.
I have the feeling and the hope that everything will get much much better :)
Vivi con una familia americana por 5 años y 2 meses. Cuide a sus hijos y puta que hice un buen trabajo [les deje una vara muy alta a las siguientes niñeras loko!]. Ellos se mudaron a Tennessee [asi es, el suroeste de los Estados Unidos-o por ahi en el sur con vaqueros y tal]. Tienen una casa inmensa. Los niños estan luchando para poder acostumbrarse con el cambio y espero que asi sea.
Mientras yo estoy aqui - luchando con mis propios tremendos cambios - tratando de conseguir un trabajo decente, trabajando en mi practica [ y disfrutandola mas que no se que], viviendo en una casa vieja con mas gente de la que me gustaria jiji
Pero la vida sigue...
Tu puedes entir como que la tierra ya no se mueve a tu alrededor - como que las vidas del resto de la gente sigue y hasta mejoran... pero la tuya ?? ejem... sip, sigue tambien!!
Ahora solo me queda seguir tratando de luchar por mis sueños, y por todo lo que me fije.
Tengo el presentimiento y la esperanza de que todo va a estar bien :)
I will use this blog, mostly to talk about my life in the US, the things I learn and see. Usaré este blog, principalmente para hablar sobre mi vida en Estados Unidos, las cosas que veo y aprendo.

Renovacion // Updating
Wao .. hace demasiado tiempo que no me metia a mi blogger .. tantas cosas han pasado .. ya llevo 5 años en Estados Unidos, ya tengo mi primera VISA de trabajo - solo la OPT , pero igual wena - he pasado por un monton de cosas .. desde rendirme y querer devolverme a Chile, hasta quedar sin tener donde vivir. Lo que son las cosas de la vida loko !!!
Contare toda la historia:
Para obtener mi licencia para ser profesora en Massachusetts tuve que dar unos examenes que se llaman MTEL - Massachusetts Tests for the Educator Licensure. Examenes demasiados desafiantes !! El mas facil es Communication & Literacy , este consta de 2 examenes : Writing & Reading. Fue el primero que pase !! Que orgullo !! Luego tuve que dar General Curriculum , consta de todo el curriculum de Elementary School (1ro a 8vo) .. que examen mas terrible !! Lo di casi 3 veces , hasta que hable con la directora de la escuela de educacion de mi universidad y me dijo que podia dar otro : Subject Matter .. asi que di el Español :) Obviamente lo pase !! duh !! Me hubiera pasado si no lo pasaba !! jajajaja !! El 3ro y ultimo es : Foundations of Reading .. un examen de temer !! yo le puse "The Evil Test" OMG !! que me costo pasarlo !! lo di 5 veces !!! al fin lo pase !! que orgullo mas grande !!! Casi me pongo a llorar , de hecho me puse a llorar je je Asi que por fin podre hacer mi practica, aplicar para mi licencia y encontrar un trabajo :) Dios quiera que todo salga bien !!
Whoa .. it's been forever since I signed in my blogger .. loads of things have happened .. I've been in the US for 5 years now , I already have my very 1st work permit - the OPT - loads of things have happened .. since almost quitting and wanting to go back to Chile to being homeless. This is life , right ?
I'll tell part of the story:
In order to obtain mi license to teach in Massachusetts I had to take a bunch of tests called MTEL - Massachusetts Tests for the Educator Licensure - challenging tests man !! The easiest one is Communication & Literacy which involves 2 subtests : Reading & Writing. It was the 1st I passed !! So proud !! Then I had to take General Curriculum which involves the curriculum for Elementary school (1st to 8th grades) what a terrible test !! I took it about 3 times until I talked to my advisor and she said that I could take a subject matter test so I took Spanish :) Obviously I passed !! It would have been pretty embarrassing if I didn't !! LoL The 3rd and last test was Foundations of Reading .. a test to be afraid of !! I named it "The Evil Test" OMG !! it was so hard !! I took it 5 times until I finally passed !! so proud !! I almost cried , actually , I did cry !! So I finally will be able to do my Practicum, apply to my license & find a job :) God helps !!
