A talk review

Today I'm going to do a review about Sir Ken Robinson's opinion.
He says everybody is interested about education because, take us to a future that we can not understand, this way, everything starts with education.
Also says every kid has a big talent, and that we are responsible for spoil this talent in them. And this it’s so terrible because creativity it’s as important as the education. Children are not afraid to be wrong; they take the chance to do new things. Kids will take a chance, because if they don't know, they'll try, anyway they'll take the risk to do something new.
If you are not prepared to be wrong, you'll be not prepared to be original. And with the pass of the time, as we grow up, they are losing the capacity to be creative, children loose the courage to be wrong, they start to be afraid to not be right, because we stigmatize mistakes. We educate people out of creative capacities. Public education or in general, education, focuses just to feed the brain, and, as we start to grow up, the education it's turning more and more limited at one area. School just prepare people to develop their brains and forgets that other things are important too.
He says that we must to change our concept of intelligence, because exist a lot of types of it and everyone should be take seriously this subject; no make a side everything that it's not related to the academic area. Intelligence is dynamic, diverse and distinctive and because of it, we should adopt a new conception of human capacity.

My blogging experience

Today is my final blogging session, so, I'm going to talk about this all new experience to me, that it was blogging. Sometimes I enjoy it, but others, I did hate it!... This big difference because some blogs were too boring and I didn't want to write because were about things that I don't really care, but, some others blogs were really easy to write, it were abouts things that I like, or what I'd like to do in the future. I think that is easier for me to write about things that I'm interested in, than things that I have to write about as an obligation, for example, write about my future, a photograph I love and at the same time write about important people to me, was so much fun and natural, than write about someone who I don't know and try to find why she could be the best in my area.
If you asks me...Did it help me? yes, I must say that write in english is a big help to improve the way in what I expres myself in this languaje, and at the same time is a big opportunity to learn new words when we try to say something. I learnt new expresions and I think that I improve the way I talk. I think, at the same time I win confidence to give my opinions in english.
From other point of view, I think that the blogging sessions, could be a little bit motivating write about thigs that I love, like music, song, movies, things that make us expand when we write. Things that make our minds fly away and this way, have a space for learn and enjoy at the same time. I'd like to upload songs or things like and do the excersice of traslate it into spanish.
Talking about blogging in english classes, I think that sometimes It was not much time to do it, so we wrote so fast and just to be able to go at home, after a big day at the university, so I think that It was a big disadvantage, but for the other side, some blogs, we could finish it at home, so it was flexible in this aspect, but just sometimes. I guess that it's all for now. =)

My ideal job

Today I'm going to talk about my ideal job. Obviously I want to have a job in my area, I'd like to work in a hospital because I thing in this place it´s need more staff to cover all the people that's going to get help, and this way feeling better. It´s in this place where the sistem collapses and always is welcome new people.
Moreover I'd like to be working in a clinic or in some place, where be able to have a good work to can have a good life and at the same time, I could include some alternative therapies like acupuncture to help people to have other alternatives to the conventional medicine, and help them to have a more natural way to relax for the delivery and this way could bring a little of calm at this important moment of their lifes.
Also I'd like to work with children at social risk doing dance lessons or something like that, I'd like to give them a piece of me and a piece of what I love, to help them and at the same time, make them a little bit happier.
To be able do all these things I must to study a lot, so, this way I'd could be a great professional. I need to finish my career and learn about other interesting things like acupuncture and at the same time not to forget my goals and purposes in life.
I think that I could be very good doing all these things because are things that I love, or that give me motivations to be a better person, at the same time I think this ideal job could be a little bit difficult to get it because involves a really big kind of components, and be able to put all these things together could be no much easy.

Genetics

My favourite subject this semester has been genetics. This is one part of the course "Bases celulares, genéticas y del desarrollo ontogénico humano" or, in english, cellular, genetic and ontogenetic development of human bases. this subjects was give it by a lot of teachers, but in my practical jobs (in the lab) we were working with Laura Walker, and I think She is the best teacher ever, and we could not be more lucky for have lessons with her.
I love this subject because takes a lot of interesting aspects about problems, disease; this cience explains you, how you are the human been that you are, how is possible that your parents gave you their genetic information, the necessary information to form a complete little person from just two separated cells that fuse and form the embryo; how all these activities are controlled by genes and how these are controlled too.
This semester I learnt a lot of things, from the cellular process (a big part of them) untill the control of them and how all these elements bring life to our body. Also I learnt about pathologies, how this could happend and the physic features. All these between others.

My future

If I think in my future I can see me in a lot of thing, a lot of things that i'd like to do or live.
In five years from now, i'd like finishing my carreer, being a nice proffesional, have a good work, maybe working in a hospital, helping people. Concerning my personal life, being almost estable with someone that I love, making plans to form a family. I'd like to keep dancing and doing dance classes or keep taking lessons but in other areas like ballroom or something like that.
I see myself living here, in Chile, but having a nice flat in Santiago Centro, in Lastarria neighborhood, near of Forestal park and obviously of the "Emporio La Rosa". I have always dreamed it, this is my dream's house. I'd like to have a nice car too, no so big, no so small, just a nice car.
Also I can see myself pregnant or with plans for having a baby or maybe traveling around the world, knowing new places that always I have dreamed, places like Venecia, Easter Island, London, Paris, Cairo, or Holland.
I'm not saying that in five years I'll be married, but I can see me doing all these things from that time, these are my planes, do a lot of things and I hope it is possible to do.
