LOADING… (Processing my future)

Lately I’ve been worrying a lot about my final byproduct. Maybe I shouldn’t be stalking so much that outcome or finishing of my degree, to focus my day to day in my moral and academic learning. However, I consider it imperative to cope with my routine; with this I do not want to mean that is heavy for me, but I would like to occupy as much as my time as possible in taking advantage, and thus, merging my weeks. (I omit my complaints for lack of time, I remain with the actions that occupy it, and thus, notice what I live and exploit).

I have realized that I definitely want to teach. I like to educate. I like to be a pedagogue. I want to create new pedagogies that educate, that really teach, to believe in real learning (the main purpose of every educator). Establish my own system where bulimic methods are legends, where students effectively store a small part of the content, and thus, eliminate multiple invalid academic certificates for many. A small revolution in education. Uprising, transforming, innovating. Overriding invisible pedagogies. Promote “education by action” (as Scouting taught me) where practices dominate the academic process so that the content persists in a more dynamic way.

Visual arts, dance, and ethics are my main interest. That is why I keep my objectives equidistant around them. I believe in the interrelationship of the three, and for this reason they worry me and increase their size. I believe in creativity, objectivity and the power of criticism. Keeping in mind empathy and tolerance forms personal and individual personalities. My purpose is not to found new people, but to unsettle them so that they discover themselves and turn their goals and identities. Getting to know oneself after exploring various complementary and rewarding fields that one ends up building based on tastes and interests. The understanding of other mentalities, avoiding the cultural ethnocentrism that we suffer, establishes minds capable of conceiving other ways of thinking, which entails a degree of maturity as well as an opening of mentality in it. Today, I consider that much of society lacks many of the qualities that I seek to exploit (excuse the audacity). Perhaps, it is this situation that pushes me most energetically to the need to “re-educate”. We live in an educational decline where values are replaced by social networks and electronic devices. The great existential concerns become not following the fashion, not having the best phone, or not being able to show the physical appearance that one wishes to have.

Honestly, it is sad. However, they say it is never too late. Later is always after, and now, I can act so that later I can distinguish the results. If we are able to add our grain of sand to make a mountain, I propose to put one every day, and then, transcend.

Now I just write my script of goals. I hope I can carry them out and achieve some success, so that they are not in vain. I channel my life, my days, my purposes; what satisfies me and makes me know my personality (one of my goals: to create identities based on inquisitiveness). Great challenge, but I know I am getting one of my hardest-fought wins.

Today I know myself. Today, I like myself. Today, I love myself. Today, I build myself.
