I always tell everybody that I've loved my high school experience in all the ways, because from all the schools I went to, the one where I spent that time was the best.
About the subjects I can say that in first and second year of high school I had the common ones like mathematics, language, physics, history, biology, chemistry, English and sports. But during the third and fourth grade I had to choose which elective I wanted to study, between biological, humanistic and physical. I chose the humanistic elective and that gave me extra hours of history and besides I had to choose to eliminate one subject between physics and biology and I took physics. Besides, the subjects of literature and philosophy were added.
The teachers I had were really good teaching the subjects, but some of them were significant for me, as a person not just as a student because they got involved with the class and were interested in us, in our problems, our feelings, and those kind of stuff, so that is important for the students, because personally I think that developing relationships is necessary to get along and really get to understand the others.
The level of education that school gave me allowed me to get in this university to study what I wanted; I really do think that just affected me in where I was going to study not what. But all the things I learnt from those important teachers I mentioned have helped me a lot now, because their advices from school and all the help they gave me I’ve applied it now to get used to the university life; and the difficulty level of the school had helped me too.
About the whole educational system I have to say that everyone knows that it’s not perfect at all and it has a lot of things to improve, but if I have to choose one to point a defect I definitely would do it about the differences between the private education and the public education. It’s not fair at all that the city hall doesn’t have enough sources to keep a good school, which means the infrastructure is deficient and the teachers have bad incomes so, they lose motivation, in most of the cases; and the affected ones are the students. Moreover, the students have to put themselves into the studies too, is not enough the teachers motivation, it has to be from both sides, because the teacher can fulfill the experience of the students in many ways but as well the student has to be interested in it.
I really never heard before the saying "when the student is ready, the teacher appears", but I think it’s related with what I was saying before, about the motivation and the interest. When a student feels that wants to learn he will learn, and if they want it will result very easy to catch on.
