Teaching Experience Of My Life Essay Sample

Last summer my dream was about to come true: I was extremely eager to go to one European country – to Spain. I have never been there before, so I had a huge desire to travel to this sunny country since the time of my childhood. There is no exact explanation why I liked this country – I just adored it and that is it. Maybe the reason was its sparkling beaches or warmth of Mediterranean See, maybe it was ancient cities, like Barcelona or Madrid, full of professional matadors. Perhaps it also could be colorful carnivals with a great deal of various lively dances. So finally the time has arrived to make all the preparatory arrangements for my awaited trip. It was three weeks before the trip itself, so I started to prepare all needed documents for it and booked the tickets in advance (it was me and my best friend Julie, who were planning to set out). I was so excited that I started eating typical Hispanic food on a daily basis. Everyone knew about my trip: all the teachers, the neighbors and even the acquaintances. I was bragging about it all around. The profiles on my social networks were full of “Hispanic stuff” as well. I was so desperate to go there, that I have easily promised almost the half of my neighborhood to buy them souvenirs from Spain and send postcards from different sights. It’s necessary to mention that I also started watching famous Hispanic TV shows and films in order to be updated with the latest plots and have something in common with my future foreign friends.
Something unexpected happened to me one day before the trip. When I was at the hospital, checking the results of final observation (it was a must to do so), one doctor came up to me and told me some really bad news. It occurred to me that I was allergic to some ingredient that I have been consuming for weeks. As I was told, spicy food was not for me, so I should stay at hospital for the next 4 weeks, otherwise it could be not good for my stomach. When I mentioned something about my vacation in Spain, the doctor denied it right away saying that “my health is in danger and the changing of regime would be extremely harmful in my case”. I am more than sure that the doctor saw my vast disappointment but he was doing what was right so I am not mad at him.
In this last paragraph let us focus on what might have been done differently in this particular situation. First of all, I should have remembered the rule “if you want to achieve something, do not discuss it with others”. I should have been calm and not so talkative about the new country, I was going to visit. I should not have given the “fake promises” of sending the stuff (I mean postcards and souvenirs) from the country that I wasn’t even in at that time. And the last is food - why on earth I decided to switch to that new cuisine so rapidly, of course I should not have done that either. As you may guess, I was very unhappy, when I realized that the trip was over, even when it had not started, but on the other hand I’ve got a precious experience. I have totally realized my mistakes, so will do my best not to repeat them again in future. Let the bunch of some wonderful and breath-taking countries wait for my arrival!
