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.

This year I enter to " Univesidad de Chile" to study Obstetrics and Puericulture. The truth is that my first option when I postulate after the results of " PSU" was enfermery, but the scores increased and I can´t enter to that carrer. But like the saying says...everyhing happens for a reason.
I choose that carrers becouse I think that I have a spirit of service, I like to treat with people and help them with the instruments and tools that my carrer will give me in the future, all of this focused in the area of the health.
The role of the matron is very diverse and includes many areas, he or she has to educate, prevent, promote and report to people, specially to women during their pregnancy and labour.
Obstetrics has three specialities: Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Puericulture, in the future I want to be dedicated to Gynaecology, but I´m not sure yet
In the future, a professional in my area has to be a very patient person, with a marked vacation of service, very dedicated to what he or she does and has to handle all the concepts and things that are necessary to be a great professional.

This is a very important photo for me. It shows me at the left, Margarita besides me and Luz Marina, Jennifer, Saray, Marcela and Antonia below me.

It was taken for a friend betwen Christmas and new year of 2008, in the garden of a very big pool in Huechuraba (an area of Santiago).

In the summer I went to a voluntary activity called "Colonias de Verano".We were a group of thirty volunteers between 18 and 24 years old, all from different carrers, universities and interests, but we were all reunited for a common cause: to entertain, attend and take care a group of childrens of La Pintana, also an aera of Santiago. We took them to different parts, for example to de zoo, the swimming pool ( like it´s shown in the picture), the cinema, the electronics games,etc.

The girls that appear in the photo are the girls that I had to take care for all a week, all of them were form La Pintana. It was a really greatfull and beautifull experience for me and my girls, in wich everyone learned something about the other and in wich I definitely grew as a person.

See you soon!
