If you find the lightness, the perspective and a little bit of you soak up what joy they sometimes accept and some things do not resolve, it is liberating
From the conductor of the successful singer we moved only across the street to his generation of younger neighbor, who, in addition to his work as a special teacher, is dedicated to children’s theatre, poetry theatre and moderation of varied variety of cultural events in the region.
Mirka Martinák and I are acquainted with each other, so she boldly invited us to a coffee in the assumption that it was just a friend visit. She was all the more surprised and delighted when I began reading appreciation.
Miriam is primarily a special pedagogue. He works at a special school in Dubnica nad Váhom. She says that working with children who have different forms of disadvantage is fulfillment for her, and although it is not easy, it is beautiful in many ways.
If you find the lightness, perspective, and a little bit of you soak up the joy with which they sometimes accept things, and some things they don’t solve, it’s liberating,” says the educator. He adds that parents of disadvantaged children are grateful for their child’s little progress because they know how long and patient the paved road led to him.
As the complainant writes, Miriam is also devoted to preparing children for recitation competitions in his spare time. They regularly participate in the nationwide round Hviezdoslavov Kubín in the category of poetry theatres. The children’s theatre ensemble Bebčina in Nová Dubnica leads almost two decades, one of the top Slovak children’s teams. Not only can they create an unforgettable production together, but especially in children, it builds mutual friendships, trust, and is more of a willow willow for its trusts than a director. It is also an opportunity for her to open up topics that are not mentioned out loud with her children, but all the more so.
The theatre is often more demanding than special pedagogy. I’ve always suffered to give it to the kids, those actors, something in life.
Miriam likes to relax with her family. This is evidenced by the abundance of family photos, which decorate their living room. They enjoy family well – being with their little son and adult daughter, who is also a pedagogue.
