USJ ICO NEWSLETTER APRIL 2018 ISSUE 7 Professionally-wise, what do you hope for in the future? Do you have a specific goal you would like to accomplish? As I previously mentioned, I would like to continue investing in my education and training, while keeping an open mind and being open to change. This for me is the most crucial aspect – changing what and how I do something, from time to time. What advice would you give to graduate students or young professionals starting out in the field? In the Education sector, as well as any other sector, we find obstacles that really challenge our motivation in pursuing that goal. However, in my opinion, I believe it is always worth it, not only professionally but also personally. We grow with everything we involve ourselves into and the rule is to never give up our dreams and continue moving forward. We must think that we are educating the adults of tomorrow and, if we truly believe in this mission, we know that it will be all worth it. 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO...   TO IMPROVE YOUR FOREIGN LANGUAGE SKILLS Listen to music or attempt to read a book in the foreign language Change the language of your phone and/or social media accounts  Watch TV series or movies in the foreign language Olá!
