Shakespeare was wrong when he wrote Hamlet. The famous line "to be or not to be" should've been "what to be or not to be", that is the question.
This morning was cold, freezing and windy. I woke up moody and messy; I literally had no time for breakfast because I was too sleepy. I had stayed awake until 12.30 beacause I had to study Phonetics (stupid vowels) for a special class where I was supposed to be the teacher.
Every morning, including the one from today, I have only 20 minutes to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, get dressed, have some breakfast, tidy up my room and get dressed again (scarf, gloves, and my enormous anorak). I was so pissed at that particular moment when I realised that I had to go out with 1°C, stong wind and walk to the bus for a 50 minute trip.
That was the moment when I broke down into tears and couldn't take it anymore. All of a sudden, I was crying like a baby and I had no idea why. As I sat in the bus, I knew that I didn't want to go to university anymore, I didn't want to go to a Grammar class that morning. That wasn't for me. I'm not a people person. WHAT DID I WANT TO BE?
I had that dilemma all morning long. I had my head set on that. I was even thinking how to tell my parents, my family and my friends that I was planning on dropping out; I wanted to be something else but I didn't know what. Until my Phonetics class came and I had to be the teacher that morning and present a topic to the class and explain it in detail. I felt something I had never experienced before. I feeling of knowledge. It was in that moment that I knew what I wanted to be.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be in front of a class. I want a class that respects you and your work. I know that it'll be hard and that requires a lot of work but I know I can do it.
So perhaps Shakespeare wasn't that mistaken. To be or not to be is an important question. And the right answer would be "to be". But if he had asked "what to be or not to be" he would've got all of us into a big trouble. No easy answer for that one, ha?
What to be or not to be

Voy a decir "Wow! que ojete!" me encantaría haber tenido una experiencia así porque estoy pensando seriamente en hacer las materias pedagógicas cuando termine la carrera para ser profesora de sociología.
Por otro lado, que lindo que hayas encontrado tu voación :)
