 My future job

An activity that I love

English Language Challenge

I had my first real approach with the English language, when I was 13, this year I went to new school, in 7 grade of primary. It was very hard to me, because I had no idea of English language, not even an only word. This year in my new school was very difficult to me learn this new language, I felt that my teacher of English language spoke very fast, I didn’t understand nothing and this made me felt very sad. I can learn basics concept and vocabulary in my secondary education.

When I start my university studies, had learned English language again, was difficult again, because I felt that I didn’t know nothing, and this was very stressful to me. Well, anyway now I feel that I had learn a lot in this latest three years , I think that it is thank to my effort, because I had practiced a lot and now I believe that I can talk whit other people in English language.  (A simple conversation, obviously) I will continue my practice in English language because I think that I can improve my understanding in this language. For example in this moment, I practice of different ways, sometimes I imagine that I am speaking with other person and then I work thinking possible questions and answers. Also, I try to know and memorized new words to add in my vocabulary, and think in English language, in other words, I don’t try to translate a spanish phrase in english, only speak based in the words that I know in English, this is most simple to me.

Changes to my study program

Since I start the university, I have changed a lot my way to interacting with the university. Firstly, I started the university in 2013, in this time I was very excited because all was new for me, I thought that everything  was cool, classmates, place, and environment all the things was perfect to me. But when the time passed, I realized that not all was good in my university. I was very disillusioned… For example, some subject were very complex and the professors were uncompromising, some classmates thought the professors that some subjects were a kind of god, this was very sad to me, because we, the students had no really incidence or opinion in the course contents that we learned. Fortunately, now the students impact a few in the courses contents, inclusive, at the moment professors, students and headship of career, work together to enhance the curriculum.

In respect to infrastructure, and environment, I feel that the things are not change since I started to study here. The common spaces to share and study are very poor. For example, outdoors spaces are reduced because of buildings. The library is small and ever is full of people and is very difficult concentrate.

I think that are a lot of things that can improve in the university, especially in the infrastructure, because in in this moment the most necessary.      In respect of the curriculum of my career, I think that are a lot of changes and this changes to be continued.

I like a lot of things, but one of my favorites activities is the dance workshop, in the last time, attend to dance workshop is was very difficult because I don’t have very free time. When I studied in the high school I attended a lot of dance workshop, contemporary dance, Arabian dance, choreographic work and other. Now, in the university, the last workshop that I attend, was a workshop of dancehall, I love this workshop because the professor was very well and inclusive. I was going to this workshop in the Universidad San Sebastian, also were others free workshop, how for example, hip-hop, salsa, and others, but in the last year, the university fired Diego, the professor, because the workshops are very expensive to the university. Then Diego started to realize the workshop in the street and cash for the class. Actually I would like go to some dance workshop, because I was very happy when attended to this workshop, I think that I really need organize my time to can attend some workshop this will be very good for me <3

3) Say that I want organize my time to can go some workshop.

Winter Holidays

The winter holidays are the most expected moment, in addition to the summer holidays, since I started to study in the university, because generally in July when the holydays starts, I am very stressed and tired for academic pressure.

When I was in high school, the winter holidays has two meaning. In on hand, this date meant that I would not see my friends in two weeks, and when I was adolescent lived with my friends, they were like my sisters (I studied in a boarding school) and on the other hand the holidays were very special for my family because I travel to Codegua, and spend this two weeks with my parents, and my brother. We spend the time in our house. I remember that we were seen a lot of movies, cooked cake or bread, and drunk a lot of coffee or tea, because the cold was very hard. I felt that the holydays were very long, because I spend all the time in my house, since all my friends were in Santiago.

Now, in the university is very difficult have a free time, because always are a lot of work, job or responsibilities, I don’t have much time to my family or my hobbies, and in the winter holidays, I try to spend time with my family, my friends, my boyfriend and in addition try to recover energy to start the second semester. Really I would like have more time to do all the things that I like. 

A good picture

I love this picture, the quality is awful, but is very important to me, because are a lot of love in this picture. Well, all this girls are my classmates in the high school, but my high school was not a normal high school. I studied in a boarding school, since 2008 from 2013, then, the ties of friendship are very strong. All my adolescence was in this place, and I have a lot of memories, good and bad, but always with my friends.  I finished my high school in 2013, four years ago, but I still have a strong friendship with my old classmates, because they were far more than simple classmates, they were, and are yet, my sisters.  

The girls that appear in the picture are only a part of my group of friends, because I remember that when we took this picture, was very rainy and cold day, in addition, we met in the house of Melissa (My friend that always lends his house to all types of celebration) and she lives in one end of the town! Very far of all the people (In my point of view jiji) then, for this reason not all the girls came in this occasion. This picture is only one of a lot of pictures that we have, because we meet frequently, but I like this picture because is more recent and in this occasion I laughed a lot! I like to think that when I know my friends, we was 12 or 13 years old, and now, we are more of 21 years and I’m still love they too much. 

Postgraduate Studies

Well, I think that one of the areas of psychology (my career) that I like study is the social psychology.  I like very much this area of psychology, because in my point of view is very necessary and interesting, however I haven’t many courses of this area. I think that the best country to do postgraduate courses in social psychology is Spain, because this country have a lot of authors and studies in this area, and the universities in Spain, especially in the area of social psychology have a point of view very critical, is for this reason that I would like postgraduate studies in Spain in the area of social psychology. On the other hand, I like the clinical psychology, and one of the approaches of this area is the Systemic approach, I really want specialize in this area, because I feel that is a very useful approach and I believe that in this moment is the area with most significance to me, then I would like have post graduate courses in systemic psychology too.

 I would like have postgraduate curses of Systemic Psychology in my country because I want work and study in the same time, when I finished my studies in the university.  And I like my country to live and work, especially because here are all my people. 

A momentary obsession :c

In the last time I am very obsessed with Instagram. I know that this sound really stupid but is really. I never was interested in this social network but since I have an Instagram account I feel really obsessed with this app. Before that I had Instagram, only take my cellphone to call someone or look my Facebook, yet lately, I look my cellphone and I can´t avoid open my Instagram in the first time. I spend a lot of time look a lot of pictures and videos, a lot of MEMES! I think that one of the things that I love of Instagram, is that I can save my favorites MEMES! I can save this pictures or videos in my account. I don’t need save in my cellphone, and spend my memory. Additionally, I like that in this social network I can see pictures or my friends and family but also I can see pictures of artists or very beautiful photographs of different things. Well, I know that this obsession is momentary, because I fell the same how I create my Facebook account or what’s app. Generally, I am obsessive whit all the new thing that I know, but in the most of the cases is a momentary obsession.

Hi, this is the video.

The most embarrasing thing...

In my life I have experienced a lot of embarrassing moments, but the last that I remember, was in this summer.  I went to Valparaiso whit my boyfriend, we were toured the port and his hills. The last day that we were in Valparaiso, we decided went to the beach, then, we went to Viña del Mar.

When we arrived to Viña, chose to stay in a place near to sea waves, and near of the lifeguards. We drop our things in the sand and ran to the waves, in this moment, I note that the waves was very large and strong, but I didn’t care because was very happy. Then, I hear the voice of my boyfriend, I told him that I was afraid because the sea was very crazy, but he told me that nothing was wrong, that all would be fine. I forget my fear for a little time, but just in this moment a giant wave descended on the shore, taking me it L

I don’t remember how, but I was very dizzy and bruised. The lifeguard and my boyfriend came to me, while I tried to get up, in this moment other wave descended and takes mi bikini! I felt so humiliated, the people and the lifeguard asked me if I was ok, but I only wanted scape of this place.

This is my sad story, bye.

My best concert

I think that I never have been to massive concert,   I always go to little concerts in small theatres or music in parks and or little squares. I always prefer listen music in open spaces. I have been several music groups in this way. I love go to little concerts because I can know and talk with new persons. The last time that I go to a concert was a concert of Rap. However, I believe that my favorite concert is “Fonda Permanente”, in this you can hear several groups of cumbia and dance for a many hours. I love go all years to this concert, because the cumbia is one of my favorites music styles, in addition to, salsa, sones cubanos, funk, rap an others styles.  

Since 2014, I go to this concert with friends. This day we eat a lot of food, and buy alcohol to drink before the concert, because we need resist and have energies, and inside of the concert, the food and drink are very expensive. I think that go to the “Fonda Permanente” became in a tradition. 

A country i would like to visit.

I would like to visit a lot of different places and countries, because I love to know new landscapes, cultures, and people. However, I prefer to know Latin American countries, for example, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, etc. All this countries are very interesting, but the most attractive to me is Mexico, because I am very interested in the Maya culture, and   in addition I would like to know the folklore, the typical food,   typical dance. I would like understand and appreciate the cultural practice in this country, especially the costumes of indigenous communities in Mexico. Some places that I would like to visit of Mexico are, Teotihuacan, and Chiapas. The first because is a very important archeological site of the Maya culture.  And the second place is a beautiful location and in addition, I am very interested in his culture and history.

I believe that Mexico is a country very large and interesting, I would like visit a lot of cities and locations, and therefore, I need a lot of time and money.

My relationship whit the english language

The English language in my life is something very unusual, because my contact whit this language is very poor. I don´t like the music in English, prefer the movies or documentary with subtitles in Spanish language, and finally I´m not interested in the English language.  

I think that the English language is not my favorite, because I feel very far of the countries or cultures that speak in English. I don’t feel identified whit this countries. I really think that is for this reason that the English language is very hard to me, however, I believe that is very important learn this idiom, especially if you study social sciences, since very articles or books important for some theories are writing in English.

Usually, I prefer read books or articles writing by Latin authors, because I feel identified with this topics, but is very necessary understand others points of views. In conclusion, the English language is very difficult for me, but I want learn because is useful, is a good instrument.
