Who Are They? The full story behind our staff!
In this months artcile...Shona O´Callaghan
Shona O'Callaghan was born in County Armagh, Ireland,
and lived on a modest farm with her family. Ever since she
was a little girl, Shona helped with all the house chores and
farm work and helped to take care of the animals. Responsible, ambitious and hard-working... this young girl would
one day become a magnificent English and History teacher
at the best British school in Spain: Cambridge House Community College.
She first found out her passion was English back in Ireland. Her father was very keen to understand and learn
about the past and couldn't help but share his fascination with his little girl. As she grew older she realised that
there were too many extraordinary wonders around the world too beautiful to be kept unseen by her eyes any
longer, and so, one day she decided to leave her small little town and go on search of adventures. She studied at
University in Liverpool, was a theology teacher there, and then lived in New York ("The city that never sleeps"...).
Along the way, and after having travelled widely, she met a big and welcoming city called Valencia and fell in love.
Valencia would never be as big and powerful as New York, but nonetheless it was perfect for her. The years
passed by and Shona became an English and History teacher at Cambridge House Community College.
She enjoyed giving classes to her students and loves listening to the different answers her students give her in Literature because as she says, "there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to Literature". She always learns
new ideas from them.
Now, Shona continues to teach at Cambridge House Community College and after all these years of helping and looking after all of these children at the school she's finally expecting a baby of her own.
"Not only that they learned from me but I would like my
students to remember me as someone who was always
there to rely on whenever they needed help." -- Shona
