Viera y Clavijo Award

Congratulations on that "Viera y Clavijo" award, deserved for your work in the world of teaching. I always say that "I have very fond memories of that center", where "I felt at home" from the first moment. "That first day of nerves, when I arrived." "When introducing myself to the school principal, in this case, you, Loli, you gave me a cordial welcome, I would be an English specialist, just like you we shared the same specialty."

"From our María, the super doorman, who helped in everything, passing through that Galdar cook, who made some portages with scalded gofio, ambrosia of the gods, my colleagues from kindergarten to sixth grade, incomparable, without forgetting my Calixto, who continues to accompany us, I have nothing but words of gratitude for each and every one".

"She gave me confidence and freedom to teach my English classes, I learned a lot, and I can affirm that when you are asked for a favor or your opinion on something, you were always willing to give it to me", she says. "I know it is difficult to run a center and manage it to everyone's liking and that emotional recognition will have given you personal satisfaction."

"We all like our work to be valued, without exception, a profession that is quite vocational and emotional." Given that "we teach, but we also hear many things from our students that do not stay at school, we take them home." "Hence the great importance."

As Henry Adams said, "A teacher works for eternity and no one can say where his influence ends." "With our chalk and erasers, we shape seeds of the future, and there you are, as captain of the ship."

"Capellanía, and those sailors, wonderful colleagues, all together with you, leaving footprints on the children, who notice when we speak with rigorous mastery or from the feeling."

"May that rich ropa vieja and those smiles from everyone in the hallways not be missing, I know you make sure it is so." "There is only happiness and joy where there is effort, the goal is important, but in your case the path is more so."
