Time travel to the future

Imagen
Although I am curious to know what may happen in my life in the future, at the same time, it scares me a little. I am intrigued to know if I will be able to dedicate myself to what I like, if I will continue to have contact with my friends, to know how many more years my little dog Sami will be with me and many other things. Mainly, I would like to travel when I graduate from college, I want to know if I will be happy, if I will be able to overcome all the negative thoughts I have in my head to move forward and not stay stuck where I am. I want to see myself (hopefully) in my own apartment living with my dog Sami and being happy together, he is the most important thing in my life and I want him to be with me for many more years. What's more, if I could see the moment when he leaves this world, I would like to be able to hug him for a long time and give him lots of kisses.  I don't know if I would like to stay in the future forever, I would just like to observe how my life is an

blog 8: English language challendges

Imagen
I like English very much and I think it should be given more importance in our professional training, I think there should be more hours of English in the curriculum. I think that this semester the learning was a little complex since I missed many classes, for me it is necessary to have the support of the teacher to be able to study English, therefore, it was a little difficult for me to study by myself. Regarding the blogs, I think it is a fun way to exercise, plus this way you can learn more about the life and tastes of my classmates and friends. Regarding my English, I need to improve my pronunciation and also better manage the verb tenses (past simple, present simple, etc) because sometimes I get confused and I tend to mix them up. I think the best way to learn and practice is watching movies in English, reading in English and also through music. If I had more time I would also like to be able to take another course so I could dedicate more attention to it, or in winter or summer v

Changes to my study programme :)

In the first place, I would like that the curriculum of the career included subjects that were more related to Chilean reality and not just social sciences in general, especially in the first year of university. Along the same line, I would like there to be more practical subjects, as well as subjects where students were taught about basic topics to level their knowledge. Regarding the academic load, I would like some teachers to be more empathetic and not to overload us with readings or, in some way, help us to understand them better through and with a greater disposition (obviously there are some teachers who do have a lot of patience and disponibility with students, but not all). So far, I have nothing to say about the infrastructure due to the current context where we do not attend university, but from what I have seen I would like there to be more green areas on campus to be able to rest after classes and assessments. Regarding the use of technologies, perhaps it would be good if

my future job

Since I entered Social Work, I have had many ideas in mind about what I would like to do in the future, but mainly I would like to work on issues related to people deprived of liberty and social reintegration, as well as childhood and adolescence . I imagine myself working in that field and in direct contact with people, although I know that I will also have to do research work, which is also important for Social Work. I would like to work in a Ministry and do public policy together with my friends haha ​​I hope we work together on something :)! I would love to travel within Chile, travel from north to south knowing different realities. I would also like to travel outside the country, perhaps to do postgraduate studies in order to increase my knowledge and tools to intervene in society, but hey, for now everything is very uncertain and I don't want to get my hopes up haha. Regarding salary, I only hope to earn enough to be happy and fulfill my dreams, such as continuing to speciali

Social Work

Before studying Social Work, I studied for a year and a half Pedagogy in History and Geography at the “ex Pedagogico”. Until then I had never thought of Social Work as a true option, I had heard about that career but it never caught my attention 100%. When I left pedagogy, I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know what else I could study, I was very afraid of being wrong again and disappointing my family. My mother was a social worker in her youth so she began to tell me about her experiences, thanks to her I realized how beautiful this career is, and also how sacrificing it is. There were many people who criticized me and told me that I shouldn’t study Social Work because I was "very sensitive." "How are you going to study that? you are going to cry ”,“ Fernanda, you are very sensitive, you will not be able to bear it ”. After all those criticisms, I entered Social Work with a little fear, but always keeping my mother's good words in mind. Finally, being in the second

my partner Sami

Hi everyone! today I’m going to talk about mi puppy Sami. When the teacher said that the topic would be free, I couldn’t think of anything else than Sami, he is what I love the most in the world. He came into my life in a really sad moment, when I was 16 years old and my older sister left home, I felt very lonely at the time. At that moment, my mom decided that with a dog maybe I would feel accompanied, so one day without notice, my mom told me I had to go for Sami to my grandparents’s house. I fell in love with him from the first time I saw him and since then we are inseparable.  For me, Sami it’s not my pet, I consider him my partner. We do practically everything together, we like to take naps, hugging, go for a walk everyday, play with his toys (and my socks), Sami accompanies me while I study and he doesn't go to sleep until I finish. Even in my worst moments, Sami stays with me while I cry, he even licks my tears and sometimes he cries too. Sometimes people laugh at me because

The best concert ever

Imagen
The best experience that I had was at the Frontera Festival, it was not just one concert, it was like going to multiple concerts at the same time!!! I was lucky because I went to that festival two years in a row: 2013 and 2014. This event took place in “Club Hipico'' I had to wait in line with my friends for hours under the sun but I can say it was worth it.  I was a little girl, I was fourteen or fifteen years old and at the time it felt like I was living the best experience of my life, I felt like a grown up, very independent jeje. Frontera was a latinoamerican music festival, that’s why I got to see and meet artists from many different countries and enjoy my favorite music artists like Anita Tijoux, Manuel Garcia, Movimiento original, Chico Trujillo, Dread Mar-I and Calle 13!! For me, it was like being in Woodstock jaja there were a lot of people in tents, lying on blankets, relaxing while drinking, smoking and eating (obviously my friends and I just ate delicious stuff :3)
