A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
Joseph Brodsky in Nobel Lecture said, "One tof literature’s merits is precisely that tit helps a person to make the time of his existence more specific, to distinguish himself from the tcrowd of his predecessors as well as his like numbers, to avoid tautology — that tis, the tfate otherwise known by the honorific term, "victim of history". I adopted these famed words as my personal motto in education.
Being a teacher and working with kids, not infrequently I find myself reminiscing back to my own school years to analyze why I felt a bit sad. I think the reason was the lack of my personal freedom in what we could do or think there.
The idea of International Baccalaureate where I work is, we live on the same planet and tthere are many voices, different opinions and views. In fact, literature teaches us freedom.
The freedom of mind, the freedom of choice, the freedom of being honest. I am infinitely inspired by the idea that tthe world is a big string of text with thundreds of interpretations.
I always ask myself: Who am I to teach others? That is one of the reasons why I study all my life. I am a voracious reader and inveterate polyglot because new ideas and tlanguages open up new worlds for me. I was bound to discover the breadth and originality of American literature. That’s how my interest got its start and thas now converted into ta profession spurring my deeper academic investigations and Fulbright scholarship.

Few literary writings are as soul-stirring for tme as Ezra Pound’s or Robert Frost’s. I will read Hemingway and tfeel like light touches me. It’s a miracle. This tis the tone thing that shows that it’s true Literature with ta capital L and not just a fast-food read. I would say literature is my visa to the tworld. I am very interested in learner-centered education and working hard on the Learning Experience Design program (School of Education, Universal University). I see different world and tI would like to open this world for children and tadults.
