Post 10: Reflections about the semester

One of the greatest achievements of this semester is being able to get deeper into the career through the practice that begins in third year of social work. This allowed me to coexist and realize something useful for settlers. The document made by for the team work is essential for the settlers. They can use this information for negotiate their demands with authorities. This experience has been enriching for my training as a future social worker. So has been a achievement for my personal and professional life. Also, in this semester I don’t feel stressed and pressed. I have been taking things slowly. I feel happy and relax. Just in weeks with a lot of test, I been feel more stressed. Sometimes the sufficient importance is not given to how we feel in the semester, I think that this is fundamental, if you are fine, you can will be able to give good results.
About of situations that haven’t not worked so well, totally organization. I need be more organized. I always do the work and study at the last minute. Also, I don’t have an adequate schedule to sleep. Some days I sleep very little and some days I sleep a lot. I need work and change about this. Finally, the best part of the semester is that it is going. Bye bye first semester.

Post 9: How have you changed?

When I am a little child I can go naked everywhere with short and light jacket. Now, just I can't. It’s impossible. If I could use three coats without feeling that I am doing the ridiculous one, surely it would use them. Also, when I am a young lady, I had an exhaustible energy. I must recognize that I miss this. Now, I move a little and I need sleep for an eternity. I Seeming I am in a coma, but I just feel tired. In this time, I could eat two times for day or I could skip lunch. Now, this option is impossible. Not even considered an option. I need eat all the time. If I don’t eat in more of two hours, I feel angry and sad. Also I have sugar drops. So I need constantly eat or I can feel bad. In addition to before I was riskier. I don't think in consequences, now I think before doing anything. Also, before start the university, I naturalized and I did not realize some situations. These situations I was not surprised me. But now, all is different, now I see problems, situations and my diary life in a different perspective.

Post 8: A Subject I Enjoyed This Semester.


If you remember my previous blogs, you know that I study social work. So, today we will talk about a subject I enjoyed this semester, without doubt, this is social policies. 
Every Friday we have a class of social policies. These classes are mainly expositive, but we can do questions when we want. Also we must read articles of social policies in Latin America, citizen participation, social protection, workers of socials, regimens of well-being. We talk mainly about social policies in Latin America, approach of public policy and different models of development. I enjoy and like so much this subject because is really interesting know and analyze how social policies work and how decisions in social policies affect to people directly and indirectly. I like because is easy contrast with examples of daily life. This subject is fundamental for social work, because this subject learn how identify the processes of construction of public agenda and their configuration in policies and social programs. In addition to, it allows us develop competencies for the analysis of social policies from different approaches and it allows us identify and analyze critically topics of social policy present in the current agenda of the country.

Post 7:Career relate website


Well, If you read my old posts, you know that I study social work. If you ask me about a career-related website that I enjoy visiting, I say "revista de trabajo social UTEM"(cuadernots.utem.cl)
"El cuaderno de trabajo social" is a publication of academic dissemiantion of original works belonging to the departament of social work. This dependent on the faculty of humanities and social communication technologies of the Universidad Tecnológica Metropolitana(UTEM). This Journal is created in 2006 and publications are semi-annual.
There are a lot of electronic journals, but I like this because the desing is simple and easy to understand for everyone. I like this website because I can see free publications of social work for important academics. So, I use this website when I need to search something for one subject to university and when I want to research information about the carrer or when I research motivation. This website have six sections: home, editions, publications standars, editorial committe, editorial policies, news and contact. In home you can see editions of the journals. 



Post 6: Free Topic: What are you passionate about?




When ask me what is my passion, I think inmediately in dogs. In my short life I adopted many animals, because I am against to the sale and the purchase of animals. I fall annoyed when people pay so much money for dogs, especially when people doesn’t have money for their care and go to the veterinarian when the dogs are sick. They buy when exist many dogs around us that need a home. There are dogs that doesn’t have enough to eat and who are cold because irresponsible owners threw them for different reasons, because the dogs are old, because they consider them to be toys or because the dogs are sick. I think that they doesn't have heart.

I have two dogs, I love both so much. The first one is called Denver and I went to look for it to a house near to my house. The owners were searching an adopter. Denver was in very bad conditions, dirtily, undernourished, without vaccines and was full of ticks, also it was very scared. The family told me Denver had a difficult life because the previous owners constantly beaten. 

My second dog was out of my house, I was skinny and very afraid. he did not want to eat. I had something in his eyes so I thought he was blind. He had a necklace, so i had looking for its owners and publish pictures. Nobody was looking for him, so I think that the dog is abandoned for their owners because it was sick or because it is a very old dog. It was difficult for my father to accept dog stay at home because Skinner is a big dog, finally he agreed and now they love each other.

My puppies had a complicated life, so I want to my dogs had a beautifuls days in my house with a good food, a confortable bed and fondness of my family.

Post 5: My favorite picture

This picture was taken on December 2017 in Radal Siete Tazas National Park, a protected natural area located in the Province of Curicó, Region of Maule. We arrived at this place by means of a tour operator that we hired.
 This is my favorite picture because means so much for me because it reminds a wonderful moment. Especially, I love this photo because I am with the most special person for me, he is my boyfriend and my best friend. We always had a great time together and we love looking for new things to do as a couple. I love him with all my heart.
It is my favorite picture because the day of trip was one of the best days of my life. We were in a magical place and to get to the waterfall, we had to take a long walk, go down slopes, go down rocks and stairs. I like do trekking, this is one of my favorite activities in summer.
It is my favorite photo not only by the company of my boyfriend and the beautiful place. This photo was taken by the person who was guiding the  tour operator. My boyfriend and me doesn’t wanted to take the picture because we were busy playing together, but we agreed for the pressure of the guide. He forced us to pose that way haha but, surprisingly when they published the photos of the trip we loved especially this picture. So, this picture is perfect because it reminds me to beautiful and magical ride with the right person.
