Torres del Paine travel

Hi,

Today I will talk about more than a description of a photo (which was taken by my sister called Margarita), but also about a special moment of my life.
You can see that I am in Torres del Paine, where is in the south of our country.
This traveled was realized in February, 2009. And we were my two sister, called Margarita and M. Jose and me.
We were there about two weeks walking and walking. We did all the route of the natural reservation.
It was a big travel in every sense. For example, the relation with the nature. The experience with it was wonderful. I couldnt believe the greatness of the milenary icesheets.
In other hand the relationship with the people that we knew there was very intense. We could talk about a lot of things in spite of our diference.
And finally, the relation with our sister and with my self was very close. Specially because the place gave you the tools for ponder with yourself.

It is a picture impossible to forget, I hope that you can enjoy it.

Luck.

Educational crisis

In spite of the evident change in the educational system in our country and the concept of education around the world, educational changes are not as fast as they should be.
Along with the technology, matters, topics and educational tools constantly changes as society does. And today big social changes are related to social movement, to give enough opportunities to people so they can reach their goals. And evidently, education is the only way to create this opportunities, without education, or even worse, without a decent educational policy no human being in a westernized society will make his way to “happiness”.
This is a real problem nowadays, because education in Chile is directly related to the economic condition of people. And as long as the educational system doesn’t try to include poor people in its main policy, the difference between rich and poor will increase every day. In order to reach this goal, the state must have a much more active economical participation in educational institutions.
Assuming that talents are equally distributed in every human being is unfair to give unequal opportunities depending on their economical situation.

Stereotypes

Hi!
Today I will write about the differents stereotypes from our faculty.
First of all we can find the typical grind and organized man or woman, they are always studding and talking with the profesors, and obviusly, they have realy good marks.
Another stereotype that we can look for are the hippies,they are very peaceful. Is very common that they play some instrument and also they use to listened a similar music, like folkore, andean music and sometime rock not very hard.
Sometime we search with sporty persons. They use to enter to the university with the sport scholarship. They usually wear track suite and sneaker. Some of them are always in the gim, and they love the endorphins.
Also in our university are a lot of people that have strange hairdoes with odd court of hair. And also some of them use to have different colors of their hair.
Another stereotypes are the politics students, who are always purified and without time. Nevertheless they are constant doing a lot of activities. And also we can find them in different protest or debates.

Like a conclution in our university we can find a lot of different stereotypes of people, we can look for a lot of varied way to see the world and different way to face the problems and event.
And it is the big wealth that we must stand out of University of Chile.

Good luck!
And I invite you to know all of them.

my favourite subject

Today I will write about my favourite subject. I will write what is it, why it is important in my future, in my profesion, a little experiense and why its like me.
This subject is physical therapy introduction.
Every monday at afternoon we have to go to diferent hospitals. There we must talk with the kinesiology who works there, and also we must see and talk with the patiente and make a little diagnostic.
It is very important in my carrer because first of all it is a good way to know if we like the work contacting with humans. And also we learn a lot with the kinesiology that works there.
The last monday I went to Calvo Mackena ´s hospital. It was a very big esperiense, because I was with a little boy, who had cancer. He was very frigthened seeing a lot of white apron. And suddenly he star to bring up, but the nurse didnt do anything, she only walked and walked.
I realy couldnt believe that a human can lost the sencibility.
In spite of this experiense, I liked a lot this subject because I think that it is a little rapprochment of my future profesion.

I hope that you like it and luck !

So, for this reason, I dont realy know about diferent website, therefore if you dont entertaiment with my website, I realy sorry.

A page that I use to use is www.lacuerda.net, there you can find all the lyrics and guitar chords of spanish singers.
I use it a lot because a love playing the guitar, and this website is very usefull for me, it is a fast and easy way where you can learn about a song. And also I very like it because I enjoy with the spanish music, specialy with the chilean artist, the troubadours and the folkclore.

When I surf in lacuerda.net I relax my self, not only when I am surfing, but also when I delight with the music.

Finaly, I want to say you: give you I time, acces to my website, and try to make music. It could be better for you.

earthquake

I will talk about the earthquake that our country damage.
It was at summer night, on February 27. I was in the beach with my boyfriend ´s family. At that moment I was sleepping, but just it began moving the earth I woke up. I was really nervious because the earthquake didn´t want to stop.
The next day was very strange, first of all we couldn´t go to the sea because there was a tsunami alert. Every body was very fearful specialy because nobody knew what will come. The next day we come back to santiago, where I got with my family together.
That week I was in santiago finding something to do for the disaster, and me with my sister went to "laguna aculeo" extracting rubbles for the day. But the next week I went to Iloca with "un techo para chile" for build mediaguas. It was a big experiencie, very impressive, because all the people of this country were very fearful and nostalgic, they really radiated sadness and distress. Then, when I came back to santiago, it was very uncomfortable knowing that in our country the people were in a tragedy. So, the next week I went to Lipimavida, again for built mediaguas. It was different to Iloca, because there wasn´t sea, but in spite of it, it was a dissaster.
And then I entered to the university, and the classes began.
Now I can say that chile won´t be the same as before.

Me and my profession

Well, first of all, I will explain why I chose to study phisical therapy.

I like the public health because it is a concrete tool to help other people. You can give an intersting and a real solution to the problem of the patient.

Other important point is that in phisical therapy you always work in a proces, in the treatment of patients. I have to be encouraging and giving good thougths to the patient, and in this way, the patient can get better.

And also, I like a lot my career because I want to mix the scientific treatment with other types of treatment, for example give solution trough music, theatre, alternative medicine; and I think that with the physical therapy I could mix all this ways of treatment.

I don`t realy know much about my carrer, because I am newly in first grade, but I realy hope that I would enjoy my election.
