Welcome to my School!!!

The School I have been assigned is IES Bernat el Ferrer in Molins de Rei (Barcelona). The school is located in the northern part of this town, up the western side of Collserola range, near Ciuró's Castle.

IES Bernat el Ferrar was founded in 1978 as a Vocational Training School. The name of the school pays tribute to the first professional in Molins de Rei, back in 1188, when Alfonso II of Aragon's Kingdom and Count of Barcelona ordered the construction of a mill in the area, which was to be run by Royal designation by Bernat el Ferrer with the condition of living there and taking good care of the mill.

IES Bernat el Ferrer is currently a Secondary School run by the Generalitat de Catalunya Government's Education Department where more than 500 students from 12 to 18 years old study ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education), Batxillerat (High School) and Cicles Formatius de Grau Mitja i Superior (Intermediate and Superior Grade Formative Courses).

It´s Back to School!

Eleven years after I finished my studies of Translation and Interpretation in UAB, it´s back to School!
Who hasn´t dreamt of being a policeman, a fireman, a nurse, a lawyer or a doctor when we were only in Primary School? We all had dreams about what we would like to be once we had become adults. We were all somehow unconciously obligued to have a dream about the future... And me, unlike most of the boys of my age, I wanted to become a teacher. That was my secret vocation.
With the years, some have been able to make their dream come true, some others had to renounce this. They might not have had the means, or maybe, this childhood dream never had an important role in their lives. We were only kids. In my particular case, my life moved into a different direction. The thriving tourist industry and the magic of travelling easily called my attention and gave me the chance to put my languages in use. These eleven years devoted to the tourist industry have provided me with professional maturity to meet new challenges, so the time has come to wake up that childhood vocational spirit, always vivid and vibrant all through the years, and going back to school. First as a CAP student, then hopefully as a teacher.
