An Ideal Job (plus a song)

Imagen
Who is it by? The song "Tarde" is by Ricardo Arjona. What genre is it? It's a ballad that blends pop and Latin music. When did you first hear it? I first heard it on the car radio of my dad while driving to my grandparents' house. Why do you like it? I like it because it reflects nostalgia and the complexity of human relationships, and Arjona's way of describing the passage of time and loss is poignant. Mention anything else you consider important or interesting. It's interesting how Arjona has maintained his unique style throughout his career while exploring different themes and sounds. "Tarde" stands out for its sincerity and the emotional connection it establishes with the listener.

A School Teacher

One of the teachers I remember most is my 6th grade math teacher from my school "Escuela Básica Integral Enlaces de Lampa". She wasnt someone who stood out for making me excel math, but rather for recognizing my qualities as a responsible, attentive, and organized student. She would often praise me in front of my classmates, which gave me confidence, even thoug math wasnt my strongest subject. My school was about a 40 minute walk from my house, and sometimes is run into her on the way. If she saw me, she would offer me a ride and always mentionet that I was the only student she knew who walked to school so early in the morning. I made it a habit to wake up early and make the long walk to ensure I was on time. I havent seen her in many years, but the way she recognized my dedication left a lasting impression oon me. She taught me that being consistent, responsible and present, evem when things get difficult, is valuable. It is a lesson that I still carry with me in my studies
