My future job

Hello! In this blog I’m going to talk about my career. I study, like most of you reading this, Public Administration in the University of Chile. Today I’m in my second year. In some moment I must choose a major, I can choose between public policy or political science. Probably I will choose the first option, public policy, because it is useful for what I do in the future. I want to do something to making better the life of the people in Chile, especially for the people more poor, I want to do something to improve the quality of life of people.

I’d like to get a job in a ministry, like the ministry of social development, economy or something like that. Also I’d like to get a job in a municipality, because in that sector of the public administration I can be closer to the people and know their needs. I wouldn't like work in an international organism, because I feel that in that area we moves away from the real needs of the people of our country. Something similar happens with the public companies, places where is necessary a public administrator, but I don’t like work in that area.    

When I have to choose a job in the future, I will consider some aspects, principally which meets my expectations related with what I like. Also is important the work atmosphere. Is important have a good team of work to make a good work.  

If I must talk about my strengths and weaknesses, I can say that I am a persevering person, a constant person at work, an empathic and nice person. Something bad of me is that I am a very proud and stubborn person. 

The environment

Hi, today I’m going to talk about the environment and how we care it. In our country the environmentally friendly practices are not a priority.  The few things that we know about the environmental care, we learn in school or for publicities in television.

In my house we divide the recyclable stuff of the others stuff, because in the municipal district that I live, three days a week pass the recycling truck collecting the recyclable products. Other thing that I do for the environment is re-use the paper to print. How you can read my habits include a little stuff of recycling, but by have to start somewhere. I don’t use car, but because I don’t have a car. Hence I must use my legs to transport me to any place, except when I go too far. In that case I use the public transport. This transport is too bad for the environment.

I do not belong to any environmental organization, but I do agree with that cause and if I had more free time, maybe I would join to an eco-organization.

Actually I don’t have time to do stuffs for the environment, but in some moment of my live I hope do something to support to care the environment, specifically something relevant with the ozone layer.

I am not aware of what can I do to reduce my carbon footprint, but I will investigate that information. Our society are to far to care the environment.   

Sports

Hello, today I’m going to talk about sports and health. I like sports in general, but now I don’t practice any sport. However when I was younger, I practiced figure skating. I did that sport for six years, from six years to twelve years. I trained in the team of University of Chile and once I won first place in my category. When I practiced this beautiful I trained four times a week and sometimes up to five times a week.

How I say before, now I don’t practice any sports, but I like watch football and others sports, like artistic gymnastic. I watch sports on television. I am not a fan of sports, but something I can’t stop watching each four years are the Olympic Games. I love see that.

One disadvantage of practice figure skating are the injuries. For practice this sport I have a lot of chronics injuries, like sprains in my two ankles and an injury in the coccyx. Sports in general involve benefits for the people, the health and body. Sports make happier people.

I watch sports in my house or in pubs or restaurants, with my friends or with my family. With my family we do barbeque to see sports.

Bye! 

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Today I’m going to talk about the country that I’d most like to go. This country is Germany. I chose this country because I have always wanted to travel there.  That since I was 13 years old, because when I had that age I began to study German in the school. In that subject my teacher showed and told us about this country, their cities and traditional stuffs. With all the things that my teacher said to me I've always had in mind know Germany.

Germany had very different and interesting places to visits. Something that if I go surely will visit, will be the awesome castles. If you don’t know in Germany are a lot of old castles in different cities. Beside the castles, in Germany are also many traditional churches it’s really worth the trip.

These are historical sites to visit, but there is much more in Germany, like the food. Germany has a very wide variety of sausages. If I go to Germany, I intend to try them all. Beside the sausages I would try all the varieties of bear.

I don’t want study or live there, for now I just want go on vacation. I hope someday make travel to Germany and do all these things.

My story

I have been a scout girl for eight years. Throughout the year I have been advancing to become in chief of the company. The company is the unit where are the girls from eleven to sixteen years.

With my scout group we went camping last summer in southern Chile for ten days. The first three days we felt strange noises and the fifth day a wild animal that could not identify began to appear on the site in the night. (At that time we did not know that the noises were produced by an animal). That situation was repeated for two or three days… I don’t remember that. The thing is that when we wake up in the morning and woke up, all the food was distributed across the floor, rather leftover food.

The heads frightened by this situation decided to take turns at night to monitor and take care that nothing happened. I was really scared about having to stay in the night watching without knowing that I could find, but I did anyway because is my responsibility protect and care the children in my care, because their parents trust us. My turns that night was the third turn, from two in the morning until 5 in the morning, and touch me with a woman and a man more. The truth is that we were all scared. The first hour was pretty quiet and did not hear, see or feel anything. But with the passage of time and the night, we began to feel noises. Then we get scared much more and each one took a stick to defend ourselves in case of anything. We don’t know what could be causing these strange sounds.

After some time listening to those noises and not knowing what was happening was, appeared a silhouette of any living being that we can’t decipher at the time (later we discover that it was). We don’t know how to react and only we were quiet waiting. The silhouette began to approach us, to come closer and closer, until we were face to face with her. In that moment we discover or believe that what was that. The silhouette was a very big. Strange and unknown animal… We were doing a discovery. When the animal came so close to us, we almost peed in fear, but we kept strong and courageous. The animal tried to attack and we defended ourselves with great courage, we attack the unknown beast. Came a time when we could not do anything and the only option we had was to run. We ran as fast as we could to find more help. We plan an operation to defend us from the animal (more than an animal was a beast). We seek sticks, knives and anything that we serve to defend us. Together we went in search of the beast and between all we attack. Was a very difficult situation and several people were injured, but finally we did it, we could kill that beast, animal or whatever. After such a strange situation, camp finished good shape, as far as possible. 

I recommend you visiting Pucón

Dear friend

I recommend you visiting Pucón on your vacations. This beautiful place is located in the south of Chile, in the Araucanía region.

You can get there by plane or bus, but if you prefer travel in plane, you must travel only in summer, because in others seasons are not flights over there. If you want to spend little money, I recommend you travel in bus, but not direct. You should travel to Temuco and after take a bus to Pucón. That way you will have a more economical trip.

In Pucón you have a lot of things to do and a lot of places to visit. You can visit the Villarrica Volcano and go up until the cusp. Also you can take a trekking to water’s jump, for after take a bath in the cascade. Also you can go to Caburga Lake and swimming. In the night for fun, you can go to a disco or play in the casino.

As you can see, Pucón is a great place to visit in your holidays. If you go, you will not regret!

The best place I've ever stayed.

The best place I've stayed was Bahia Inglesa, a little town near Caldera in the third region of Chile. This place has a short beach (500 meters wide) with little and slow wave, very transparent and colour turquoise.

I've been there on several occasions, but today I’m going speak only of the last time. I did more than any time; because that was the last time I would go.

I slept in my father’s house, who lived in that moment in a condominium with a park and a swimming pool.

We went to the restaurant El Coral de Bahía to eat raw rock fish (ceviche). It was very delicious, the best I have ever eaten.

Another day we was to near hill to saw fossil of whales, giant oysters and others sea foods. Was a moment of inspiration.

Besides those things that we do together, we went to the beach almost all the days. We swam in that beautiful and nearly Caribbean sea.

I love go to Bahia Inglesa, because is a quiet place, where I can relax and rest.

After that, my dad moved house and now he lives in Copiapó. It is close but is not the same.
