My name is Myrna Balderas Garza and I am currently teaching at the "Facultad de Educación" at the "Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán". I love teaching and I have been working here for over 14 years (quite a lifetime!!). I like teaching because I like sharing what I know and also because I find it a very interesting job. Of course, you can never expect rewards when you are a teacher. I think the best reward you can get is your students' smiles and their interest when you are explaining something to them. That is really satisfying.

Something I enjoy doing at the University is designing materials for the language laboratory. I have learned a lot and I would like my partners to see what we have at the laboratory. However, only a few of them get interested and make some time to take their students there, something that worries me and makes me sad because I would like everyone to find out how useful this tool (the language lab) can be.

Another thing I enjoy doing is learning. I love learning new things every day. For example, today I am learning how to design a blog and that's something I have always wanted to learn (since last year, which was the first time I heard that word).
