This time tagged by dear colleague Vicky Papageorgiou. We met each other on Facebook and lately in person as well, since we live at the same city! I think Vicky is a wonderful educator, who cares a great deal about her work and her students!
Here we go!

Name a book that made you cry.I think it was Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. All this anguish, pain and agony mad me feel sad. But in the end I felt relief somehow...
-
Name one book that you…regret having read ! Give details please.Minority Report by Philip K. Dick. I made the mistake of watching the movie first. I loved the film, but I couldn't quite understand what was going on in the book!
-
Name your favourite song and tell us why.
- This has a really special meaning for me since it was the last song I used when I stopped teaching my spinning class at the gym. It was the end of a "era", the end of a dream that will never come true

Which city or country in the world could you easily live in, apart from your current city ?
I think it would be somewhere in Germany! Cologne maybe? or Berlin? -
If you weren’t an educator, what else would/could you be?
An educator maybe?? LOL! -
What is the riskiest thing you have ever done in your life?
Go to Austria alone at the age of 17!!! I met friends over there but I was terrified untll I actually got there! -
Describe your favourite library : where is it, how is it, why do you like it?
Hm, I am afraid I haven't been to a lot of libraries and I don't have a favourite! -
If you could write a book, what would it be about?
The story of my life?? No, just kidding!!! Study cases of students is more like it! -
Which is your favourite ELT website? Provide the link, please.
British council's Learn English kids! It has saved me a lot of times and kids love it! -
An embarrassing moment in your professional career. When, where, what?
When I started looking for a job, everybody was looking for a more experienced teacher. After 3-4 unsuccessful interviews, I just broke out in tears - I couldn't help it... I regret it now of course, but I still keep getting emotional sometimes! -
Describe one of your best moments in your teaching career.
One of my pest moments is the Xmas movie party I organized, 8-9 years ago - a lot of students came (former and current), brought presents and it really felt like Xmas with me "extended" family!! This was not exactly a "teaching" moment, but it had to do with students so it's unforgettable!
I am not going to tag anyone... Thank you
