English Music when I was in elementary school, my sister often listened to English songs. We all enjoyed it though I especially loved David Bowie's music. I used to listen to his music at every opportunity that I had and wanted to understand every single word in English that appeared in the songs. I fell in love with the language and started to explore it throughout my childhood. Today, when I teach english, I always tell my pupils to listen and enjoy English songs, to search for words that they don't know and even play the songs again and again and sing along. I am proud to say that they share with me their favorite songs, bring them to class and listem to them during their breaks. I must also remark that my love to music has passed to all my children and they listen to English music on a regular basis. As a result, they all have a wonderful vocabulary, they speak fluently and they spread their love for English music everywhere.

HOW I DECIDED TO BECOME A TEACHER I was born in Moscow. At the age of seven I entered a regular elementary/secondary school. When we were in the 4th grade our administration decided to change the status of the school. So, it became a Special English school. My parents had to make a decision whether to continue or to change the school, my father knew German, my mother - French. And my grandmother spoke Yiddish. Nobody knew English, we didn't have any digital tools at that time, they were afraid that they would not be able to help me. But I was an excellent pupil and they decided to take a risk and rely on me and the teachers who persuaded them to let me stay. It was a hard school period because we had to pass the programme of three years in one year. But we succeeded. Our young English teachers were so nice, so professional, the lessons were so interesting that I fell in love with English and with a profession. At the age of 11 I had no doubt that I would become a teacher.

I have always known that I would be a teacher. People around me have always thought I should choose this path. The problem is that when people put tags on me, I immediately tend to rebel against them. I did not want to fulfill other people's expectations. During my studies, I have taught in junior high school and high school. Later on, I worked as a teaching assistant and as a Hebrew teacher for overseas students. However, I kept feeling that I was missing something and that this type of job was too conventional for me. I had bigger dreams. I was looking for excitement and wanted to do something meaningful. The idea was to make a difference and not to be dragged into a bourgeois life. As I grew up in a home where political discussions have been a part of my daily life, I ended up working in the jungle of Israeli politics. After several years, I realized that although there might have been excitement in my life, my work didn’t have any real impact, except for taking ca
