Introduction

After completing the online course "SanaMente LibreMente: Jóvenes por la Paz y contra las Adicciones," I had the opportunity to give a reflective presentation on the topics I had learned. This experience was a significant challenge for me, as it required me to express my ideas clearly, critically reflect on sensitive issues such as mental health and addiction, and do so within an academic and professional context. Throughout the preparation and presentation, I was able to strengthen not only my communication and pronunciation skills but also my awareness, as a future teacher, of the importance of creating safe, empathetic, and respectful environments for students.

Reflection

Giving this presentation was a challenging yet enriching experience. At first, I felt nervous and insecure, especially because I had to discuss sensitive topics and demonstrate what I had learned during the course. However, as I practiced and organized my ideas, I felt more confident and prepared. This activity helped me develop greater confidence in public speaking and improve aspects of my pronunciation and fluency in English.

Furthermore, the course allowed me to reflect on the crucial role teachers play in students' emotional well-being. I understood that, beyond teaching academic content, it is also necessary to promote empathy, a culture of peace, and risk prevention in the classroom. Finally, I believe this experience not only strengthened my academic and linguistic skills but also contributed to my personal and professional growth as a future teacher.
