My blogging experience

Every Friday, after my theater class I have to go to the computer room of the university to make a new blog for my english class, each day about a different topic. As you probably have noticed if you are reading this, I have had to write about my ideal job, my university, my career, my future, my self, etc. And trough this make known my tastes, my life, my family and many aspects about me and my life.
My favourit tipic on wich I had to write, was about the picture we have to describe, becouse it shows a realy important and different aspect in my life that many people don´t know.
Today, I have to write my last blog, I have to talk about my blogging experenience.
At this hour, on Fridays, the truth is that I´m very tired form a log week of study, tests, getting up early, and very little sleep. I´m not very lucid to write things that requires a lot of concentration and dedication. Also, the time for endindg the writing is very reduced, and most of the time I have to make it very hurry to leave on time.
But not everithing about blogs is negative, I can´t deny that with my bloggin experience, my knoledge of english, especialy my writing have imporved considerably, my vocabulary has been expanded, and now I can write more fluent.
Also, the atmosphere between the students and the teacher is very nice, and I realy enjoy it, I had the opportunity to know new people, great people I have to say.
As conclusion, I can say that the disadventages of blogging in the Englis class, as I sayed before, are the schedule and the time, and the adventages, all the improvement in my english knoledge and the atmosphere of work.
Now, it´s time to say goodbye!..

Ken Robinson in his talk raises the idea that at the present time the schools are killing creativity in their students.

He founded this idea by saying that education given in schools tend to develop only certain areas in the students, like languaje, history, science and mathematics, and that other areas like music, arts or dance are neglected. Clearly this is a problem, acording to Robinson the intelligence has three features: is diverse, dynamic and distinctive, this means that each person in particular has a particular type of intelligence and that there is no intelligence more important than the other.

People tends to stigmatises these more humanistic areas, and do not let the students develop this skills, prohibited form doing what they want.

Also an other factor is that schools do not give room for mistakes, and show them like the worst thing in the world; this is why children are afraid of making mistakes. Robinson says that if you aren´t prepared to fail, you wouldn´t be an original person, with identity.

We have a mision, we must be aware of all these aspect of education and make something better, we have to promote human imagination and not let education kill them.

I´m studying Obstetrics, so when I finish university I want to be dedicated on one of the specialties in my area, I´m not going to study five long years in one of the most difficult univerities of Chile, and meaby in the world, for anything.

I realy like the issue of health and to treat with people, to be helpful and useful and have all the instruments and facilities to even save a life, I think that is one of the most rewarding things in the world.


I will like to work far away from Santiago, like I sayed in the previous blog, maybe in Chiloè and travel island by aisland attending future mothers and all the people who need my services. An other option is to work in Santiago, mi brother moved recently to that city, so I wouldn´t be so alone.If I have the possibility to work in a different country I wouldnt think twice. I think it´s very interesting to know different cultures and to larn from other people different from you.


I don´t think it will be difficult to find this job in the future, when I finish my years at university I´m sure that I will be prepared to be a great midwife, for this I have to continue being a studious and responsible person, and develop myself in different areas, also I have to be prepared to treat with all kind of people, so I will need to be a very patient and tolerant woman

This is my fifth month at university, I´m just starting my years here, so I have not had the possibility to know many subjects.

Until now, my favourite is embriology, it´s the most recent unit of one of the most important subjects this semester.

The course is divided into several groups and each one has a professor in charge. Personally I have to teachers. On Monday is Marcela Fuenzalida and on Thursday Mariana Rojas, she next to Miguel Concha are the teachers in charge of the subject.

I like it becouse is directly related with my career and my future as a professional, it´s very interesting to know and see how the baby develops inside the womb of the mother, we all went through the same prosseses, so it´s very important for all of us to know how we become people that we are now.

This semester I have learnt many thigs related with the babies, like the stages of development, the growth process and the heart, face and the limbs development

My future

It´s impossible to know what the future has prepared me, but what I know is what I will like to be doing 5 years from now.

I see my self graduated from Obstetrics, full of knowledge and instruments to be a great professional.

At first I will like to work in a hospital, I don´t have any preferences now about what specific hospital.

I´m not realy a big fan of the capital, so I will like to be living in another city of Chile, like Concepción, Valdivia or even the big island of Chiloé, and be of help to people that maybe don´t have the resources and the knoledge to be treated in my area.

Another possibility is to live in a different country like Italy, I have the nationality, so I have a lot of facilities to make a life there.

Personally I don´t see my self married in 5 years and with no children. If I live in the south I will like to have a wood house, with a big yard, animals, a great view and a big fireplace to get warm. I don´t like to be alone, so I hope that my family or friends visit me constantly.

I really don´t know many people who are closely related with my career and area, but in my university experience I have had the opportunity to know a few teachers, doctors, health professionals and students that I admire for their experience, knowledge, effort and achievements.

One of this persons is Mariana Rojas Rauco, she is a veterinary graduated form Universidad de Chile at 1975,but she specialized in embriology. Also she is a teacher at my university, specifically in the developmental biology and anatomy program, and I have the luck to have classes with her.Also she has a lot of projects approved in FONDECYT, a nacional commission of cientific and technological investigacion.

But I think that a good prefessional it´s not only masured by their achievemnts or knowledge, Mariana Rojas it´s also a very charismatic and warm person, and a great teacher, features that I could evidence as her student.
