Post #4: A funny or important moment of your childhood

-

When I was a child, I was one of those incredibly energetic kids. I used to play and run all the time, no matter where I was. And one of my favorite things to do, at that time, was playing soccer. But at the first schools I went to, I couldn´t play because my male classmates didn’t let me, for one simple reason… I was a girl. And girls are not allowed to play soccer. So, in Sport class or recess of those years of school, most of the time I was angered, sad, or frustrated. Due to every time I wanted to play, first I argued with my male classmates or second, they didn´t let me play.

But everything changes when I attended to last school. I was in my first class of Sports, and I asked to the teacher if I could play soccer with my male classmates. To my surprise, he said yes! and even my male classmates agreed, despite the shock and confusion in their faces. For me, that moment was very significant in my life. Because finally I have been able to do what I want to, and be true with myself. After that, I played every time with my classmates and I was the only girl playing soccer in the class, but I didn’t care really.

      What a joy that you could finally play soccer. It is horrible the way we were deprived of that freedom in school, in my school there was no soccer for women. Now i play in college and i love it, but it is sad to feel that i could learn so much more when i was younger.

Post #7 Changes to my study programme

As I said in previous post, I am a third year Natural Renewable Resources Engineering student. Until now, I notice that my current degree has a huge diversity of subjects. The subjects cover almost all the areas or topics about natural renewable resources and engineering methods, giving important knowledge from a general point of view. For example, I have mathematical, biological, chemical, physical subjects, even some environmental law subjects. Also, some of them are linked with project management or territoriality. So, as far as I understand, in the first 3 years of study, you ended up the degree knowing about multiple topics o areas, but nothing too specific. Then, in the following two year, as far as I am aware the subjects are more specific to certain topics. In fact, you must choose professional electives, which delve deeper in different areas of interest to the degree. In relation to workload and length of studies based on my experience, it is a lot of information to learn

Post #8: English Language Challenges

I really enjoyed the English subject during this semester, both classes and written activities were enjoyable and challenging to do. In synchronic classes, miss Barria created a good conversational environment, that made you wanted to participate, where she kindly corrected your mistakes, and taught you the right way to express yourself. I learned how to talk and express myself about a huge variety of topics, which resulted in an improvement in my communication skills in this language. In my opinion, the written activities, which in this case were the blogs, were a good method to constantly practice grammar skills and improve them in the process. Besides that, as I mentioned before, those were fun and challenging to do, because the blogs´ topics were amusing and interesting. Apart from that, I think I need to improve my communication skills, amplify even more my vocabulary and review all over again basic grammar rules. For thar purpose, I have the intention to take an English course, f

  Since I was a child, I went to different places for holidays and I really enjoyed all of them, some of them more than others. But the best holiday I ever had were on February of 2017, when I was 17. It was the first time in my life traveling too far away alone, and for so long. I went to Puerto Montt with three friends, Valentina, Michelle, and Paz. We stayed in Valentina´s grandparents house for about a week, her grandparents were kind and sweet people. We did a complete tour of the region, we went to a lot of different places in Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, Chiloe, Frutillar, and Petrohue. We visited toreutics destination, natural parks, national parks, restaurants, and craft fairs. That was the first time I saw such beautiful places, with all that magnificent and imponent nature. Despite the cold in the south of Chile that I don’t like it at all, I really enjoyed that holiday in Puerto Montt with my friends, eating, traveling, and laughing.
