 I'm an English teacher, I'm married, I have a daughter, and I pretty much work like everybody else, right? I have a schedule, I go to work, I go back, and I have needs like everybody else. And I also want to spend my free time on Wikipedia. I'm Erlen Vega, I'm from La Paz, Bolivia. I write about different things, mostly safe things, butterflies, insects, animals. In my education system, people don't usually write. They don't write, they don't create, they just receive and receive information and they're supposed to memorize it and then they have the test and they ask you about it. Yeah, it's not a good thing, it's like when at the end of the course they ask you to write something, an article, a paper or something, you're really in trouble because you have never done it. And giving a person the opportunity to be creative and to be recognized for something they write is really, really, really, it has really been a turning point in my life. Everything started when I went to the dictionary of Wikipedia one day and I met this girl, the boardy girl, we were fighting a vandal by that time. And she said that she tried to reply in Spanish and I know her Spanish was a bit shaky by that time so we made a sort of a non-written deal that I teach you Spanish, you teach me English. And we corrected each other and we learned the language by editing a dictionary in English and in Spanish. And in the end my English got so better because I practiced like every day that by the time I finished my studies in English I passed the ECPE Michigan test which is a requirement for teachers just as I finished my studies and then they hired me right there because my scores I guess were enough to teach and they started some training and I've been working there for like five years now. It's amazing because of that I got stability, I got married, I have a daughter so Wikipedia has changed my life.
