eloísa díaz

A person I admire. When I think about this topic there are many names that comes to my mind, the majorities comes from my family and are women. So, if I have to talk about a public person I admire, I would talk about Eloísa Díaz. She was the first woman in Chile who studied medicine in Universidad de Chile (back at 1866).

I heard about her in school. I was impressed because at the time that was not a thing ladies should do. So she was a brave women who knew what she wanted, and did the right things to get it.

At this moment of the history, we have many women who fight every day for our rights, to have the same opportunity as men and to stop the harassment. But everywhere there is always someone who do things first, and then others who follow. In this case, being the first women going to college was a big step. In a sexist society where only men could study and women had to stay at home, caring for her children, I imagine that her choice was not well looked at at first. Probably there were people who tried to stop her, and even if she didn’t have to fight with anyone, I admire her for having the courage to do something no women did.

And this was not just a big step to her; it was for all women in Chile who after her could go to college. She proved women have the same qualities as men.

a good present

I like presents a lot, so my birthday is my favorite day in the year. I think I could not talk about just one present that has been special for me. So I will talk about the ones I remember. When I was 6 my mom bought me a memorice, and at the time, that was my favorite game, I could spend hours playing it, I didn’t care if a have no one to play with, I could play it along even it is a two players game. When she saw how happy I was with it, she started to buy different kinds of tabletop games for me. When I was 7 my dentist removed one of my teeth, my mom congratulate me and bought me a Barbie’s phone, it was not real, but it has lots of record in the answering machine, so you could make plans for your Barbies, it was funnn. For Christmas, last year, I received a keyboard and it has become special for me. At first I didn’t know how to occupy it, but I watched lots of videos in YouTube. Now, I wouldn’t say I’m an expert on the field but I have learned many things that have been helping me with my progress. Now I have it in my room, and I like playing it at night because that way I can enjoy more the sound, during the day the noise around my house don’t let me do that. 

teachers

When i was in playgroup i had a teacher who was like a mom for us. She was always worried about us (in a good way), if we did the right things in class, like answering nice or having a good behavior  she gave us gifts (like candies) so at the time I thought I wanted to be like her, I wanted to be a teacher. This didn’t last much; maybe because I couldn’t imagine myself in a class with lots of children, I am not a very patient person.  In middle school I have a teacher who taught us language.  She was a powerful woman, always concerned of our learning, and giving us books to read, to be more intelligent. I admired her, she knew about everything, and you could talk to her about anything, she will never said no to a conversation, even if it was not about the class. Again I stared to have doubt about my future; maybe being teacher will not be that bad. But, in our society everyone knows that it’s a badly paid job, so I gave up to that idea. Anyway, I’ve had many good teachers in school, who acted more like parents and psychology than teachers, but that make me realized than being a professor is so much more than giving class, and that’s is way I admire them. 

valdivia, amigos, risas

In my free post I will talk about my trip to Valdivia for the film festival. Until now we have been very lucky, because everything, in terms of food, housing, etc. has worked perfectly.
So, i'm only going to tell you about the funny stuff.
First the bus: a friend arrived drunk, very drunk, so you can probably imagine how the trip was. Besides she brought more alcohol to share with everyone, so as soon as the bus started we began drinking. In about 30 minutes time an old man had already complained about our behaviour.
Then things calmed down a little, everyone went to sleep.
At 10 o'clock, approximately, we arrived, we took a taxi and went to the cabin. The first day we spent it walking around sightseeing, had lunch at the Última Frontera, while we were there another classmate showed up, to collect his credencial for the festival. It seemed he had sniffed some strong thing. At night we went to a club near the Municipalidad, called Gaz-Gaz. it was the official place to party assigned by the festival. It was full of sugar daddys and people of the university.
The second day we watched movies and went to gaz gaz again. There we saw our teacher's helpers, who were an epidemic. Anyway, we partied with them.
The third day was the same.
The fourth day we went to a different place to party, but honestly i can barely differentiate one night from another
In spite of everything it has been a good experience to share with my friends, and followers, thankssssssss

the planet

I don’t see myself as an eco-friendly person, but i try to do some things to contribute to the environment. I thing is important to star taking care of the place where we live, because If we don’t worry about that, the generation in the future will have to pay for our mistakes. It is known that planet is passing through a difficult moment, in the Antarctic the glaciers are melting, in other parts the summer is too long. So it is important to create a clean culture now.

I used to study in Providencia, there the mayor makes lots of plans to keep clean the comuna. The municipality put trash in every corner, in schools there were plans to recycle paper and the garbage’s truck passes frequently. So he tried to make a difference in that way. In my house we separate out trash to take it into the garbage at supermarkets. That is something everyone should do. Other thing people should star to do more often is using the bicycle or a different means of transport instead of car or bus, those are more polluting. But people seems to not care about

I don’t belong to any eco-organization, because I consider that to be part of one you need time, or gives money every month, but I don’t trust in doing that, because not always the money goes where it supposed to go, so to make a change I prefer to do things by myself.
