GOOD AND BAD POINTS

Well, now I`m starting a new term, and I`m really happy fort that. The first term of 2009 was very exciting and sometimes very stressful, but in general was amazing. I learned many things like celular biology, genetics and chemistry. At first it was very difficult because I didn`t know the pace of study that this career requieres, so I was a bit scared. As time passed, I felt more confident about my skills, so I lost the fear and I started to fell very happy with my career.
This first term was very awsome too because I knew many wonderful people. This is very important because all my friends at university are a support for me in all the ways. We do many things together like study, go to parties, get lunch, and these activities make that we became more united.
My family is the most important thing in my whole life. They are a big support , so they help me a lot in the first term. Infortunally I don`t have so much time now, so it`s a bit difficult to stay with my familly all the time. I have to study a lot, so this is a very bad point in general when everyone start to study at university. The same thing happend with my friends and it`s very sad.

In general, I`m very happy to study here, with all the good and bad things because I`m doing something for my future, and that is very amazing.

A talk review

Sir Ken Robinson in his conference discusses the problems with traditional education, and how it must change to meet the needs of present and future. In his talk raises the idea that at the present time the schools are killing creativity in their students. He founded this idea by saying that education given in schools tend to develop only certain areas in the students, like language, history, science and mathematics, and that other areas like arts, dance or music are neglected.
I´m totally agree with Sir Ken Robinson. In my case, when I was in school the art area was completly neglected. In fact, in high school I never had a music class because I should choose between arts or music, and I decided for arts. This hapenned because the teacher said that we must put more attention in maths, science, history and language.I think that if we want to be an integral human been, we must develop all areas that make the human been complete.
Also people tends to stigmatises these more humanistic areas, and do not let the students develop this skills, prohibited form doing what they want.
Other factor is that schools do not give room for mistakes, and show them like the worst thing in the world; this is why children are afraid of making mistakes. Robinson says that if you aren´t prepared to fail, you wouldn´t be an original person, with identity.
I think that we have a mission. We must be aware of all these aspect of education and make something better, we have to promote human imagination and not let education kill them

My Blogging Experience

I´m finishing the semester, and also my English class. This expierence to write a blog have been so amazing because I can practice my English writting about things that are related to technology, personal interests, life experiences and the most importan: things related with my career. I think that this way of learning and practice English is very interactive because in the same time that we learn and practice English we learn about our career. In my case, I really loved to writte about pregnancy, delivery and post delivery because I learned about terminology in English that I know in Spanish, so this will help me in te future if I have to attend to a patient that speaks English for example, or if I travel to another country to specialize me where the people speak English.
Sometimes, It made me a bit difficult writte in the blog because I think that we didn´t have enough time in class to finishing it, so the most of the time I must do it very fast, even sometimes I had to finish the blogg in my house. I think that in the future we could prepare the blog with more time, and in that way qe could deppen more in the topic that we are talking.
I think that learn English is something very important. Right now, we are living in a world where the English is te universal speaking language, so personally I love to learn English, and also I´m grateful to the university for be worried about our integral education doing this subjet of English.
I hope that in the future, the pre-intermediate level classes keep doing this kind of tool so funny like make a blog, and also spread the blogs in all the university community. I really like doing my blog! and I hope keep doing it in the future :D

My Ideal Job :)

Right now I`m just a student of obstetrics, so when I finish my career I want to work like a professional midwife, especially attending new born children. All my life I have to related with babies, so I really like them and I think that they are adorable!. I think that the midwife labor is not only related with worries and cares about woman in her pregnancy time and delivery. Midwifes must worry a lot of new born children because they are new lifes, so they must have all the knowledge about how they must keep and support those new lifes. Everyone that want to work in this area of obstetrics must have many knowledge about neonatology, gynaecology, first aids, nursery knowledge, etc. In our professional training we get these knowledge, so if we want to especially in these area, we must improve and deepen especially in neonatology.

Personaly, I like so much these area, so I will study so hard to be the best in my career. Also, I think that in this area there are many professionals, and for that sometimes it´s a bit difficult to get a job inmediately, so the most important thing is be a very good student, get good grades at university, and if we do that, we will have more opportunities to get great jobs in a shorter time.

Mi favourite Subject

My favourite subject at university is biology, especially the unit of embriology. This semester I have to learn it and I think that is something amazing because I really like to know about all the events related with the embryonic human development. In this development are related and complemented genetics and molecular processes which determs, for example, the development of arms, stomach, head, heart, liver, kidney, bones. etc. This is very important for my career because we attend newborn children, so we can evaluate if they present a normal development or they have any congenital malformation.
In this unit, my teachers are Dr. Miguel Concha and Dra. Mariana Rojas. They are an experts on this topic and they have many disposition to teach us everithing. Dra. Mariana Rojas also is a veterinary doctor, so she explains us the embryonic development in animals too.
I think that is very important to know this, not only for health professional but any persons too because we are humans and we must know everithing about us.

Me in five years :)

Well, I really think in that everyday. The most important thing that I want to do in five years is finish mi career, start working and be a really good profesional. For this goal I study a lot everyday because I want to be the best in my area. Also, I would like to travel to another country to follow my studies and know other realities related with my career.
In other plane, I would like to travel with my family to Torres del Paine. I think that is a very beautiful place, full of nature and the most important is that is in Chile :) I really want to travel there, so I will work very very hard jajajaja.
I think that the future is something very important an very uncertain too. We plane many things but anybody knows what could happen in the way, so for that I always enjoy every second, with my family, my friends and all the important people that makes me happy :D

The best profesional in my area

I think that the best professional in my area is Ms.Hilda Bonilla, who is the director of Obstetrics School at Universidad de Chile. She was rewarded with the "Olga Julio" award in recognition of her vast trade-union and academic path. She finished her program studies in 1969 and then she started working as a clinical midwife in hospitals and doctor`s office until 1972. Since that year until now she has been working like a teacher in Obstetrics School at Universidad de Chile, taking part in th education of the new midwifes generation. Also she has taken part of chilean and foreing programs of familiar planning, working as an active assesor in research investigations in Universidad de Concepción and she is a member of the scientific committee of the Midwifes' School in Chile.
I like her because she is an excellent teacher, very intelligent and knows everything about my career. She stimulates us to study more if we want to be a great professionals, and she is a especialist in Health Mother Infantile, and that is the area that I want to follow when I finished my career.
