My experience learning English

In all my life English language has been very important to me, because my parents love travel around the world and for communicate with foreing persons, know is essential speak English.
In other situation in the university like study there are too much papers that there are not in Spanish there are in English and if you don't know speak English you will not understand what are you reading or studying.
We live in a globalize world and most of the information, news, publications, etc are in English.
I think it is not the best language in the world but is necessary for develop and speak fluently for the people that don’t speak your own language can understand you.
When learn something is an obligation always comes boring and that is my case.
Learn English is an obligation with marks and assistance and I feel that course was spend time unnecessary, but through the course I realized that is not so unnecessary because of the thing that I said before.
Apart the important of speak English in this course I met beautiful people and they becomes big friends like my kine's guy.
Sometimes I was boring with the class and they entertain me and make the moment nicer.
Now when the course is ending I realize that I learn too much English, for example like two months ago I travel to Cuba and in the hotels was full of people that not speak Spanish. In this situation I could speak in English and know more about the culture of their countries and for sharing our different and beautiful experience in our different lives. I could make that the people understand me and this was wonderful.
Finally I can say that if I have the opportunity of take other English course more advance I take it without thinking because now English is an advantage like a professional.

Neuromyths: "We only use 10% of our brain anyway"

Science advances through trial and error; this is because there are many theories that are constructed on the basis of observation.
One of this myths it is that we only use 10% of our brain. These myths came from probably Einstein who responded once during an interview this. Karl Lashley made support to this theory with electric shock experiments and many areas or the brain did not react to this shock, concluded that these areas had not function.
Another origin of the myth may be found in the fact that the brain is made up of ten glial cells for every neuron. Glial cells have a nutritional role and support nerve cells, but they do not transmit any information. In terms of transmission of nerve impulses only the neuron are recruited (or 10% of the cells comprising the brain) so that this offers a further source of misunderstanding on which the 10% myth might come, but this vision of cell function is simplistic: while the gial cells play a different role from that the neurons, they are not less essential to the functioning of the whole.
Neuroscience findings now show that the brain is 100% active. In neurosurgery when it is possible to observe the functions of the brain on patients under local anesthetic, electric stimulations show not inactive areas, even when not movement, sensation or emotion is being observed. No areas of the brain are completely inactive, even during sleep, if they were, it would indicate a serious functional disorder.

stressing life

Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our response to pressure from the outside world. Common stress reactions include tension, irritability, inability to concentrate, and a variety of physical symptoms that include headache and a fast heartbeat.
It's almost impossible to live without some stress. And most of us wouldn't want to, because it gives life some spice and excitement. But if stress gets out of control, it may harm your health, your relationships, and your enjoyment of life.
It is usually be stressing with hard jobs or with the university in test period, because most of people don't have a good organization with their times, don't have time for recreation, time for fun with friends and they are only involve in this aspect of their lives.
When the stress began people fall in a depressing state, because they feel that their lives don't have sense. They don't have energy for do anything, they don't make things like in good times, and for example they don't concentrate and don't do a good work in their job or in the university.
Everyone can feel stress, because life in the city is based in productivity for the capitalist system that looks for machine not for people.
The only thing that you must do for not be stressing is advantage all thing in your around, all your family, friends and moments that makes you happy, because if you are in peace nothing going to disturb you.

Heathy lifestyle


Today is so common to listen that people have cardiovascular problems, obesity problem or don't do regular physical activity because of their sedentary life with their job and eating disorders.
I think that public politics to the healthy minister doesn't care too much with this case. For example in the school or university always there are stand of fast food and this are cheaper than healthy food.
Other problems is that in our country is not promote to do exercise regularly, in the school there are only once a week for like two hours and in the university is not obligatory to do this.
It must be part of the culture to practice some sport or have a healthy lifestyle in our country because this is too important for to have a good quality of life and for have a better efficiency in all of aspects in the life.
All people, especially young people must have access to do physical activity for at least three times a week, that their activities like job or in the university allow with its schedules give them time for this.
It is too important the emotional aspects, because for example the stress is very harmful to the body.
For have a healthy lifestyle you need keep your body in a good state together with have an equilibrate diet and an environment clear, quiet, relax, full of love and peace for enjoy all of beautiful times in our lives.

My favourite get-away


I love to go to the beach, I think it is the best place where you can think, relax, enjoy with a beautiful landscape and with a gorgeous sea breeze.
I go to the beach every time that I can, but lately I couldn´t go because of the university.
When I have problem, or I am stressing I go there and every kind of thing that is affect me it's gone.
Everyone need a place where relaxing, where you can scape to the routine and put your mind in white.
I usually go to the Tabo or Quintero because my parents have a house in this place and is more easily stay there for more time with less money.
Go to the beach is so comforting because be in this place remember me all goods time that I was there, all the beautiful moments with my family, with my friends, with people that I love.
Be in the beach bring to me calm, wisdom and happiness with its fresh air and sunny days.
Now with September’s holidays I am going to go to the beach but in Cuba!!!
I will be there like for nine or ten days with my parents and my old brother.
I am going to go La Habana for two days and I will stay in Varadero for six or seven days.
I think be in Cuba is going to be a spectacular experience and I will have the best memories.
I hope you don't miss me to much jajajajaj
See you in other blog time!

Music is rules


Hello everybody!!!
I didn´t write for weeks, but I am here again.
Today I am going to talk about my favorite kind of music.
I love hear music in everywhere in every moment because the music helps me to forget all the problems, it helps me to be quiet, it makes me think how beautiful life is and it makes me to be in a different place, in my ideal place.
I love listening rock music, salsa and old school's music. I don't like reggaeton, because its contents doesn´t like me, but its rhythm is contagious and in a party can be acceptable jajaja
I think the reason that I love rock music is because my father and my brother listening this always and that influenced in the type of music that I like me. When I listen this type of music I remember all the moment when with my family went to holidays and we travelled around different place in car and my father put in the radio led zeppelin, la renga, iron maiden, the doors, alice in chains and pearl jam.
With respect salsa music I love juan luis guerra and I listening always when I have to study, because that relax me and help me to concentrate.

When I am sad, rarely, I listen salsa or rock because those makes me happy and forget the reason why I am sad.

I think music is too important in my life, because it makes me feel good, makes me feel relax, makes me see the things in a different way.

Well see you in other blog, byeeee!

This is the end

Helloooo!
Everything has a final, and this is not an exception.
When I begin this course the first that I think was that it was spend time unnecessary and it is going to be very boring.
In school when I was in English class I always think that this is going to finish soon.
But now in the university English follow me.
I don’t have too much time now in the university and I feel that English is going to take off the little free time that I had.
With the passing of the time I knew cute and lovely people, and I think I learned a little more of English.
And in blogger time I learn interesting thing about my future profession and more techniques’ words.
I hope that continues in the second semester, because this had been so funny and interesting and I think I had learnt more with this method than the classic class.
I think this is because the word that I need to put in English and I don’t know I look for it and this doesn’t erase form my memory.
English is too important in all aspects of our lives, but it is too much important in health area because all information is in English.
I hope in the second semester I learn more and more and this will be more useful.

My ideal future life

Hello again, today I am going to talk about what I think I am going to do in seven years from now.
When I began to study Obstetric I didn’t know so much about what exactly I am going to do in my future job, but with the passing of the months I have fallen in love with this career.
There are several areas in this profession; some of these are neonatology, obstetrics, gynecology and the area of health education.
Gynecology literally means "women's science" but in medicine this area is about all disease which affects the female reproductive system like breast, vagina, uterus and ovaries.
Obstetric from the Latin means "be waiting". This area of the healthy science care in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum time called puerperium. Obstetric area also includes psychological and social aspects of motherhood.
And finally neonatology is a specialty that cares for the newborn in the first hours after birth and is responsible for diseases that may affect the new child including intensive care.
Of these areas the most that I like is Neonatology. This is because I love babies and if I can help and take care I am going to do.
I always had had a social vocation and I love help everyone who need. This is the reason why I studied this career.
When I finally will finish to study in five years from now I am going to work in public health. This is because I think we as a student from the University of Chile have the duty to give what we learn to people who don't have money to pay a private service.
Well I hope you like my new post, see you in other time, Bye!

Role of midwives in people healthy care

Today I am going to write about what kind of prevention is promoted by midwives.
In our area is too much important take care in sexuality business, in sexuality education for the community.
Today with technologies and globalization people are informed and know about any topic, but we know that we can't trust in internet, because this information can be not true.
Midwives are who have to teach community in sexuality, which that is a TABU until now.
Midwives must promote in women and men have a safe sex in community lives, that include family planning and prevention of sexually transmitted infections and all this is for a community wellness.
Some ways to family planning are contraceptives methods and sexual abstinence.
In prevention of sexually transmitted infections is condom, sexual abstinence and have one sexual partner.
Obviously all this prevention's ways are based in educate community in this business and that people love to themselves.
I think one important point is that we need like society a change of mentality because most of the time young people don't go with a midwife for shame that what people will say.
Midwives do congress in schools, universities and in different club for promote a healthy life in the community.
In individual case everyone can have a conversation with a midwife in hospitals and clinics for information in these methods to prevent these things.
Well I hope that help everyone, see you in other blog's time, byeee!

Gender role and male - female stereotypes in postmodern society

Today I'm going to talk about gender role and male - female stereotypes in post-modern society.
The human's history since ancient times has always been told by men. But today the history is changing, the women has taken an important role in the society.
With the passing of the year, the women have been educated with what has been inserted in the post-modern society.
Especially in my career, obstetric, it happen a weird situation. Midwife is a female career because we know the women body and we can have more empathy than men.
But in the last years this situation has been changing. Men too want to be part of this beautiful career.
When I see that I have male's companion, I think that they don't really want to be there, because every one look at them with a rare face.
But I think ourselves are guilty and biased of the discrimination and stereotypes, because everyone have the same abilities for study every career if this really like it.
Mostly of women are discriminated against with her attitudes and can't accept that times are changing.
Obviously there is male chauvinism in men, but is unacceptable in women.
Well this is my opinion, see you in other post.

The pleasure of eating

Hello again!
Today I'm going to talk about food.
My favorite food is sushi, I love it!
Sushi is a japanesse food which is made mainly with nori, rice, cream cheese, salmon and avocado.
Now in Santiago every chinese food restaurant make Sushi.
I love every kind of food but sometimes I think I eat too much chocolate, but the pleasure of eating is incomparable.
Normally I don't eat food in the University because I think casino's food is very bad then I wait until to stay in home for lunch but in break time I eat yogurt with bread and some fruit, I think this food are very nutritive because they have all the component necesary for a good development in the study and concentration.
In front of the university there is a mcdonald's restaurant, in this place sell a lot of "chatarra food" and this is very bad for the students, because this food are high-fat and doesn't help with a good development.
I think we can eat every kind of food but in a balanced and necesary way.

Be a midwife


When I left the school, I didn't know what to study, but finally I decided to be a midwife because I thought that it was the most interesting career.
I always have had the vocation of help people and I thought that this career would let me try this.
I think the most important role in my future profession is help to bring life into this world, educate people in sexuality business and control women in all aspects of her lives.
When I finally get my title, I pretend to go to work in rural areas and in remote villages, far from the biggest cities.
Be a midwife is not only worry in biological and physiological aspect, It is connect with women and empathize with their, that they feel supported in situation as complex as being a mother.

My role model

I wasn't sure about what study in the university when I left the school, but I decided get in to Obstetric in Universidad de Chile.
I didn't know too much about the career but someone important and specialist in the area of my career in the university who answered all my questions.
Her name is Gloria Concha, she is a midwife with years of experience.
She is an adorable wise and cheerful woman.
Gloria Concha is my teacher in nursing's fundaments.
She love her profession and proves it with her way of teaching.

A little more about me...


Hi again!
Well today I'm going to talk about my hobbies.
I have many hobbies, one of this is YOGA.
I practice this like one or two years ago.
I love Yoga!
I began to do it when I was in a school because I needed something to relax me.
In my first's Yoga class I was to nervous and excited to see what about this activity...
Yoga is not only making position and meditate, Yoga is a different type of see and live the life, Yoga helps you to connect your body and your soul, to think in a different way and I think Yoga help you to really enjoy the life.
Now with the university I don't have much time to go to the Human development institute, but every day in my house and in my life I practice Yoga.
Other one of my hobbies is spend time with my friends and my family.
Every weekend I spend time with my parents and my brother, we go to play bowling, to see my grandparents and talk about everything that happened in the week.
To my friends I see every day in class and we talk, laugh and go out together.
Something to I love to do too is play with my cat Tallarín.
Tallarín is a very naughty cat. He becomes crazy every night and when I touch him he bites me. But when he wants play, he brings me his toys and I throw it to the sky and he catches it.
Jajajaja!!!
He is so happy when I play with him, but He is too bad.
Well this is it, see you in other time!
BYEBYE

Earthquake AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I was talking with my brother and watching the Viña’s festival.

When to the festival end we decided to go to sleep.

My brother stood up and suddenly the earth began to shake.

I took him by his arm and together we ran very quickly to the door.

My parents couldn’t go with us to the door because when they woke up the earthquake was very strong and they couldn’t walk.

My cat tallarín ran to a tree near to my house.

All in the house was falling to the floor, glasses, dishes, cups, TVs, furniture’s, etc.

Me and my brother were calm, but my mum was screaming very loud, because she was frightening with the earth’s dance.

Finally earthquake stopped.

All was dark and smelled to gas.

I couldn’t sleep in hours because when I decided to sleep began to move.

Fortunately in my family every one was Ok.

Me and my family tried to help with anyone who needed it.

I still with fear; with any noise or movement I run to the door L
