Eco-life

Hello, classmates and teacher!

I think that being "green" is a great idea and a marvelous initiative, but only some people being green in the reallity. Actually, I think that our lifestyles are so far to be ecological. In my case, I know about the man's damage against the planet, I know about clean energies and other cleaner options, althougt I don't feel that the change depends of me or of my little power. I imagine a lot of people doing the same good things for environment and that's could be a solution. 

Whatever, in my daily life I try to recycling in simple things: when I wash the vegetables, then I use the same wather for irrigate plants; I walk a lot; I off lights that I don't use; I close the water tap when I wash my tooths; sometimes I recycle paper or I put my garbage in my pocket when I walk in the street... 

I like being "green" spirit, buy in the present I'm not member for any eco-organisation, because I don't know some of them. I try to respect the plans of other persons about the matter, for example, I separate my waste in the public route.

I consider that the problem is the ignorant about the own possibilities and the inconstancy in the public education. The nature's care is a civil duty and that's the point to understand. The solutions will come the coaching. 

Education

When I head something about education I feel mixed emotions. On one hand, I know about the crisis in the national system and I have a worry. But, on other hand, I feel displeasure because it's a topic very well used.

In my first year of University, I had to live the 2011 movilization, and that was an upsetting year. I remember the daily assemblies in the career, the State's threats weren't exciting for the movement and after a few month, it's all over.  

Even so, I think that Chilean education is mediocre, the powerfuls use education like a business and that's badly. The students of different social classes don't lear in the same way and for that, the opportunities of future are unequal.

In my case, I studied in a subsidize school, and money was more important than the learning. We had to study a lot for own initiative to go to a good University.    

My mom is teacher, and her case is similar: the student's profile was getting worse, MINEDUC's programs was made for a good mark in standarized test, the teachers were nonconformist with the learning...  

The system must change, that's evident, but I don't have real hopes in a short term. I think that the final goal needs a lot of work and comprimise. The important people in the power should understand that the quality of education is the pillar for a good society.

Aerobics sports!

Hello, dear classmates and teacher! 

The sport is necessary to have a good health. Some physical problems are caused by a sedentary lifestyle. Today I’m going to talk about sport in my life.

One year ago I started going to aerobic classes, because I wanted to lose some weight; I mean, I was so tired to be in bad condition. I said to myself: “Okay, it’s time to make something for me, only for me”. At the beginning was so painful, you know, the first days in almost everything are in that way. By the way, it took me around two weeks to habituate the rhythm of the exercise.

In the gym, the trainer learns us about aerobox, step and zumba. Classes are three days a week before dinner. At this time, one year after, that’s a part of my life; it’s so strange to me a day without exercise, the sentence what I heard was true: the body demand physical activity.

If I felt depress before, today my feelings are better and positives. It’s a good hobby; we are all the things and choreographies with Latin music, like salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton and samba. That’s a great point for me; I liked to dance since I was a child.    

Aerobic sports, especially recreation sports, are necessary for a happy and complete life. I think more people should to practice them.

A special book.

I were trying to remember about a particular gift... or something. It's a difficult matter. But in the last time, I received a nice present that change one aspect of my life. In April of this year, I knew a guy, he's a literature graduate and an emerging writer. We knew us through instagram first, facebook later, and finally in person. I saw that he wrote a book: "Oh, this is interesting, finally something new between my contacts!"- I said. We talked a lot about many topics, and I really wanted buy the book because the curiosity and sympathy grew every day a little more.
Whatever... One day in May, he invited me to his home, we drank a delicious green tea and he gave me his book like a present. In less than 24 hours I read it. In simple words, it's a realistic novel about a chaotic love story (with some autobiographic components indeed). "In this world don't exist a better way to know this guy"- I thought.
In short, with total honesty, the gift was only a excuse for to be more closer from one another, but it was the "cornerstone" of our actual relationship and it likes me for that reason (well... it's very enjoyable too).
I have read that book many times, maybe four or five, and today it's in my backpack most of the time or in my bedroom.

Fiestas Patrias

Hello classmates and teacher!
Today I going to talk about my last patriotic celebration.

I think that Chileans wait this date all the year, because they can drink and eat without blame and it's a fantastic date for take a break of the daily rutine.
In general, I celebrate with my family and my friends. Sometimes I can go out Santiago, but this year I was here, in Parque O'Higgins, in the boyfriend's home and in my home.
I must be honest, I ate a lot, my diet went to hell... Maybe I drunk a little in the first day of celebration, ok... I drunk a lot too. But I was with my parents, and that's important, because the last year my dad wasn't with us. This year was the first time in the Gonzalo's home, he's my new boyfriend and good friend, and his home's very similar to my home, all people in there are lovely persons and I'm very happy to be with him in this important dates.    
If you ask me about the best Fiestas Patrias, I should say "Fonda de la Alcachofa". When I was a child, I invented this name for the Fiestas Patrias in my house, I even painted a poster... It was funny, because the artichoke in the paper was very ugly, but my family was happy with my splendid art work.
I like the traditional games, I don't practice them but I would like to learn. In the other hand, I think that rodeo is a unnecessary sport, because it only brings animal stress and suffering.  
Well... Like many people, I miss Fiestas Patrias, but my birthday is coming in October and that's more party for me :D

September 11th

The september 11th is an important date for the country and my family, I feel displeasure in this day, because it recalls violence and abuse. My pather was priosioner in the beginning of dictatorship, and my mom live this period of time when she was student. For these reasons it's a dilicate topic in home. 
About violation of human rights, I think that the people have all the arguments for complain about them,  the law and the civil society should punish responsiblis, but, in my opinion, the political separatism shouldn't separate the persons in daily life, especially in the present, because the healing is impossible without community. 
I think that state of Chile's solutions are insufficient, because there are a lot of families without answers or compensation still. Also, the are many offenders without a just punish. 
About hoodeds or lawbreacker people who be violent to police foces or destroy public property, I think that that kind of character was more sense in dictatorship time; today they generate caos and everybody forget the real meaning of this day: the end of democracy. 
This date isn't outdated, because dictatorship's recent in the history. Also, there are wounds that nobody can cure. 
September 11th affect the life of young people because isn't a normal day. Sometimes, activities are interrupted or is very dangerous walk in the street. 

Places!

I have traveled only a little in my life and all these travels have been into the country. Chile's a beautiful place to know, I have thought we should know our country before other sides. But now I have a lot of wishes to go Buenos Aires. The best part is the proximity, I mean: Chile and Argentina are neighbor countries! This travel appears easier than other options. Well, you know... Buenos Aires is "the city of fury", all things about it are painted with bohemian colors and interesting stories; I imagine its streets very similar to Santiago's streets, the same king of foul air, the same charming in the architecture, the same inspiration for writers, painters, musicians and photographers. I've clarity about this mysticism, but that's exactly the best part. If Buenos Aires isn't the city of my smoker dreams I don't care, but the sensation in my stomach, when I will cross the Andes Mountains, will be enought (Ok, that sounds sickly sweet. Maybe the food, clothes, CDs and books are motivation too).

I like my country and my city very much. I don't want live in any other place, but one season being tourist never hurt anyone 1313
