Does the end justifies the means?

My name is Marcel; I am a 23-year-old aspiring photographer, music lover and languages enthusiast. I was born in Maravatio, Michoacan on February 6, 1988. Both of my parents are teachers, so I grew up in an environment always related to teach an the different ways of it.

About my English learning history, I think it all started when I was 10 years old as my dad was practicing his English, he was going to Boston for the first time because of his work. The book he was reading was the “Oxford University Press English/Spanish Picture Dictionary” by E.C. Parnwell, it was full of colorful drawings and that was what draw my attention.

Since that time I have been very interested in the language, but unfortunately I was not able to learn it at school until I entered to secondary school, where I studied the language for three years. When I graduated from the school, I stop learning English for four years, until I sign up at the Language Department where I took a classification exam and ended up in fourth semester.

After finishing the 9th semester I was decided to take the TKT course so I can get a job teaching the language that I like so I can gather money to study what I feel passion for; photography. My goal is to someday work overseas in a magazine as a photographer, so this course will take me one step closer to my goal.
