In the future

Today I want to talk about my future job. Well I am studying childhood education, in the fifth year.  In this career of Education I’ve taken subjects as: psychology, sociology, curriculum, assessment and other classes related to different disciplines. In other words, the different areas that you need to know for be teacher. In the future I would like to study a Masters in psychology to complement it with my profession.

In the future I’d like to get a job as teacher in a rural school in the south of Chile, in a school where few children attend. I also like to work in a context where all of us first learn of the place we live in and of ourselves. In more free education, where children are the protagonists. In conclusion I’d love to have my own school and build a school curriculum in conjunction with the community.

When choosing a job I would consider primarily something that promotes a good quality of life for me and my family. Some aspects could be: good work atmosphere, Location, Salary (I don’t want a lot of money, just to live), but especially long vacation to rest. I hope to get a job with these characteristics or something similar.

About my strengths and weaknesses I could say that:  I have a lot of patience, I'm good at solving problems, I like learning new things, I'm good for teamwork, I am very confident in me and I don’t give up easily.  But about my weaknesses I could say that I'm messy, I despair with the routine, sometimes I'm very demanding with others, I am very honest to talk and sometimes I can be hurtful.

Bye.

A green day

Hello,

This week I will talk about the environmentally ambient. The people normally don't take conscience of the negative impact to our natural environment, this is a task of the schools and the culture of country. All time the people are self-concern but not of the world around us.

In my case, I decided change my normal style life and start recycling some things. For example: I began separating the crystals bottles and depositing them into specials containers used for the reusing the crystals and make other things.

Lamentably I don't have bike but I hope buy it the next year. Some times I prefer to walk when I need go to near places or when the distances are not very long.

I don't belong to any ecologic organizations because I haven’t opportunity but I would like. Also, in the future I would like create my own compost container to fertilize my own vegetables. It’s very easy work over this topic if you put together all the organic materials.

Actually existing very forms of living your life quiet and helping to environmentally ambient. One actual problem is the carbon footprint. The carbon footprint is the direct or indirect ambient impact that damage the Ozone. One form to decrease the carbon footprint is select products that not making a damage to the Ozone as spry products with toxic components. Other form is try to promote others forms of energy as the electricity with solar panels or try to decrease the use of vehicles that used Gas for moving. In my case I try to walk when my destination is not very long, I try to select ecologic products and in the future I will try to save money for buy solar panels.

I think that our society are wrong because not exist a strong culture respect to the negative impact over our natural ambient. It’s our mission learn and teach to our childrens about this important topics. In each time our planet is dead and the politic people only think that the money is more important than our planet. Actually is more important fill with stupid publicity about your vote, instead of taking care of the paper.

Books and Literature

Today I speak about my relationship with the book and literature. I just read from time to time, I read only when I have free time. But I like to read and I would like to have more time to read.

When I was a child read a lot, because at my school was a must read a book monthly. I remember some books that I read in my childhood that I loved as: some Papelucho, Bibiana y su  mundo, Donde vuelan los dóndores, La vida simplemente, El principito, Harry Potter and others.

My favorite sort of book is novels; I like novels relaxed that make me think about things of the life. Really I like fiction and non-fiction, I do not care, I care only that the book is entertaining.

The last book I read was “Tinta roja” of Alberto Fuguet, it was relaxed reading and really I enjoyed reading. I took two weeks to read this book; I read a while in the afternoons last summer. The book tells the life of a journalist that work on a newspaper. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing novel.

Bye !

Chilean student protest deteriorates into chaos

Thursday, 27 September 2012 21:46 

 

The following article is about a high school and university students marched in Santiago in Thursday, 27 September to express their demands to improved education Chilean.  Police estimated about 5,000 people but the students said 70,000 people. The march was organized by the Coordinating Assembly for Secondary Students (ACES), the National Coordination of Secondary Students (CONES) and the Confederation of Chilean Students (Confech).

The march began near Santiago’s Estación Central along La Alameda. After the march continuous along España Street and when the people arrived to the end of the route started the violence , however, and the crowd was soon engulfed by a medley of tear gas and water cannons from the police barricade. In this moment the march could not and he crowd dispersed along side streets and continuous the violence.

Javiera Campos Menendez, another human rights observer, seconded Disqueto's opinion: "(There was) very little respect for human rights today. We have just witnessed three completely illegal arrests of protesters for no motive," she said.

After, 23 police were wounded, and 106 protesters had been arrested, the majority of which were minors. Something similar happened in the marches of Valparaiso and Concepcion.

Up to and during the protest, ACES also called for a boycott of municipal elections in October. "We want to convince citizens to realize that changes come through social movements and not elections," ACES spokesperson Eloisa González told.

Independence Day holidays

Every year I celebrate Independence Day holidays one day with my family (parents, sister and boyfriend) and other day I am with the family of my boyfriend (his mother and sister). Usually I eat a lot of roast and typical food of Chile, also, I drink chicha and I dance “cueca”. Sometimes we go to the fonda to dance and play typical games of Chile.

I like Independence Day holiday because I can to enjoy with my family, I can to eat many food and there are some days free to rest. But I dislike is that during this time I get fat.

The last Independence Day holidays I had great time because it was a full week. The first days I was in Santiago celebrating with my family, we ate a lot and danced every day. The other days my boyfriend and I went to Valparaiso to the home of my aunt, there we played rayuela and drank wine. Also we walked along the beach and we took photos, the days were beautiful as the summer. I bought jewelry in the shopping of the beach and we ate seafood. Finally we returned to Santiago to prepared work for the next week.

I see you the next week

My best holidays

Today I want to talk about the best holidays of my life.

In the summer of 2008 I traveled to south of Chile, my boyfriend went with me and it was great because was our first travel together. We spent some beautiful vacation since Concepción until Chiloé, specifically in: Saltos del laja, Penco, Loncoche, Villarica, Lican ray, Ancud and Castro. We visited lakes, rivers and beaches and we enjoyed of amazing landscapes.

We traveled in bus with our backpacks and we stayed in camping site in the different places, we were backpacker aimlessly. We ate typical food of the places as curanto in Chiloé, seafood in the beaches and we drank beer and chicha. We bought gifts for our families and took photos for never forget these holidays. Also, we knew the culture of Chiloé as legends, the food, peoples and habits of the island.

I think that these were our better vacations because we had new experiences, we knew new places and we were free during some weeks, we did what we wanted. I will never forget these holidays! 

The following photo was taken before sailing for the Villarica Lake during a morning.

I see you

Mexico

A country I would like to visit is Mexico! Because I love Mexican food And I know some Mexican people are very cheerful and I guess that everyone should to be very nice. 

I know about Mexico that is a country very extensive and has 112 millions of peoples. I think that the best of Mexico has a lot of cultures, different kinds of peoples and languages. Also I have looked photos of its beautiful beaches through internet.

If I visited Mexico I’d like to visit “Ruinas de Teotihuacán”, it is a representative place of the azteca culture and is very famous for the tourists, I would take a lot photos in this place. One of the beaches I have always wanted to go to Cancún and enjoying some long vacations to relax me. Of course, I would like visit to capital of Mexico to I know the city life.

I would like to visit Mexico only on vacations to know this country but not for study, neither to work. 

See you,

Gisela.
