Changes to my study programme

I am studying social work, the study plan for this career has very interesting subjects such as psychology, economics, philosophy, sociology, fundamentals of social work, Social Justice, Rights and Citizenship; investigation methodology, etc. This career lasts 5 years, and the workload is heavy, we must read many texts, understand the classes that last many hours, but I think that although it is difficult this will be very useful to us. Although I like my career, I think the teaching method is very "square", we don't leave the four walls, It is a very academic and impractical teaching method, of the two years that I have been in this career I only have memories of me reading many texts. I think it is tedious that the investigation is reinforced so much, I know it is important, but I would like to learn more about intervention, I don't want to spend my life doing research, I also don't like to see the people as mere objects of study, for example, the mapuche are...

Personal Opinions

What is your opinion about child labor? I think that child labor is something horrible and very regrettable, this problem demonstrates the incompetence of governments because they are unable to care for children. Children should not work they should study and play, It is sad to know that they have to sacrifice their childhood to help their families, through fault of the system. What is your opinion about violence on television? I think violence on television is a very bad thing, television usually normalizes many attitudes and actions that are very violent, and viewers when they see this kind of thing may think it's okay to do it. I don't like violence on television because there are many children who watch it and they learn bad things. What is your opinion about killing stray dogs to prevent sanitary problems and animal over population? I think that killing stray dogs to prevent sanitary problems is a very bad thing, I think it is not fair to kill dogs through f...

Animated Disney/Pixar Character

Imagen
I honestly haven't seen Disney and Pixar movies for a long time, one of the last movies that I saw and that I really liked was Coco. My favorite animated character of this movie is Miguel, he is a boy who is 12 years old, he wants to be a musician, but his family doesn't allow it due to a bad experience, Miguel is a very talented boy, I was sorry that his own family didn't allow him to fulfill his dreams and will forced him to do something he didn't like, however he struggled to become a musician, he created his own guitar, and he was able to unite his family, He made his family stop hating music and got them to no longer hate their great-great-grandfather. I like this character because he is only a child, he is brave, happy and optimistic, he showed that children make us see the world in a different way, children are innocent and often have no hatred in their hearts. The songs that Miguel sings are very beautiful, especially "Remember me", I was very moved ...

Postgraduate Studies

Imagen
I honestly don't know if I want to study a postgraduate degree, but if I had to answer this question, then I would choose Psychology, I would like to study more about child psychology. Maybe in the future I will study another postgraduate, but the future is very uncertain for me, I don't have my life planned. I would like to study or take an arts course, I have always liked drawing and painting, and I sincerely want to illustrate a children's story, I am not very good at creating stories, unfortunately my imagination is very limited, but my dream is to paint something that make children happy, something to give them hope and that they feel happy when they see my illustrations, I like to paint with many colors and I think that this interests children a lot, I hope someday to be able to do it. I would like to continue studying in Chile and I would like it to be a part-time course, but I honestly don't know. I have always wanted to work in the childhood area, I would like ...

My favorite book

Imagen
My favorite book is "Víctor, un canto inconcluso", was written by Joan Turner, who was the wife of Victor Jara. It is a very beautiful and moving book, which tells the story of Victor from his childhood to the day he was assassinated. Joan in this book writes the things that happened to Victor throughout his life, from the most painful stories to the happiest stories, she reveals what Victor was like not only as a singer, but also as a father, teacher, theater director, husband, brother and friend. As many of us know, Victor Jara was a person who fought against inequalities and injustices, through his music and lyrics he reflected the social reality of the most unfortunate.  Víctor Jara is one of the people that I admire the most, his music inspires and moves me, for this reason I really like this book, it made me very happy to learn about his life. Joan Jara was one of the people who knew Victor the most, I am very grateful that she shared everything she knew abou...

My future job

At present I am studying Social Work, I am very happy and satisfied with this career. I would like to travel to many countries and work for a time in these places to get to know the different realities of people around the world. But after traveling I would like to return to Chile and dedicate the rest of my life to working in my country, I would like to work in the south of Chile or in the commune where I live. Puente Alto is a very segregated commune, I have lived all my life here, for this reason I would like to work to improve the living conditions of all puentealtinos and also Chileans. I feel that it is very important that I contribute to social change in the place where I was born and grew up. The salary doesn't matter to me, I only care that it's enough to be able to live well and healthily I am not interested in earning millions. I really don't know what I will do after graduating, I would like to get a master's or doctorate, I feel that I still have a lot to ...

Favorite movie

Imagen
I have many favorite movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Primer, Singin’ in the rain, Requiem for a dream, Mr Nobody, etc, but now I'm going to talk about “Donnie Darko”, this is a movie directed by Richard Kelly, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jena Malone, is a drama, fantasy and psychological thriller film.This movie is about Donnie Darko, a young man who was saved from death when an airplane engine fell into his room, when Donnie was saved (thanks to his sleepwalking and "schizophrenia") he created a tangent universe that will collapse in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. Donnie in the course of the movie hallucinates with a rabbit named Frank, who comes from the tangent universe and motivates Donnie to do things and guides him to accept his destiny, so that in the primary universe the things that were destined to happen are fulfilled. I really like this movie (although rabbit Frank scares me) because it's about time trav...

"Best Concert"

Imagen
I have never been to a concert, the closest thing to that was when I went with my best friends to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the plebiscite and the triumph of No, that carried out on October 5, 2018, on “Paseo Bulnes”, where several bands played, this was a very beautiful and unforgettable experience.  I remember that we were late because that day we had an activity from school, when we were walking we listened from a distance to the song "El baile de los que sobran", we started running because we wanted to see Claudio Narea and Miguel Tapia, while we were running we were singing very loudly but we didn't arrive on time, because they were already gone, after them it was the turn of Villa Cariño, who played “Antes que tú te mueras”, “Política, amor y revolución” and “Para dormir contigo otra vez”, this is my favorite songs of this group.  After this, some celebrities gave a speech, I remember only a few celebrities such as Claudio and Carolin...

A country I'd like to visit

Imagen
The country I´d  like to visit is Vietnam, because it is a country with a great history, whose people fought against the intervention of the United States, becoming the inspiration of many people. I know it's an Asian country, its capital is Hanoi, this city is very beautiful, also has many temples and museums where they remember the Vietnam War. Although Vietnam participated in many wars the people of Vietnam overcame the misfortunes and moved on.    (Hanoi)                                                                                 (Halong Bay)     (Ban Gioc Falls) The Vietnamese population is mainly Buddhist, but there are also Christians and Hinduists. I´d   like to learn about culture and history, visiting historic...
