Smile and move on

Mirian Álvarez has 9 years of experience as an English teacher at the Grazalema School.

The interviewee says that everyone changed their way of doing things during the pandemic. Her main motivation was to strive to continue the education process despite the difficulties.

The interviewee says that in her personal life, despite the stress and exhaustion of the situation, she managed to overcome this professional and personal challenge. She learned to give value to the things that really matter, which are often the small everyday things that, due to the speed at which we live, we don’t stop to appreciate.

She has learned to cope with uncertainty and adversity, to be more flexible and to improve my ability to adapt to circumstances.

A positive aspect of working from home was to save costs, and of course to contribute to the reduction of collective pollutant emissions from commuting.

Another positive aspect was the appreciation of the importance of the family. Valuing the importance of the simple. One of the teachings and life lessons that the pandemic has left us has been the value we now place on what we had before the pandemic, actions such as giving each other a simple hug, for example.

Revaluing the teaching profession, strengthening the socializing role of the school.

Smile and move on.
