Addiction

The most recent thing I've been through with drugs is through my sister, she's a social worker and worked in a drug rehabilitation center, we always got her counting cases and trying to get over her. All of them lived on the street and at the beginning of the program they did not intend to change, but almost at the end, they did not want it to end because it was the only place where they had real support with professionals. The truth I have always felt very sorry for these people, I hope someday I can help them in some way.

According to the social worker of the university I live in a dangerous neighborhood, because there are problems of drug trafficking in my sector and things like that. She is right. But I have never in my whole life had problems with them, in fact outside my house always used to sit down guys to get high, they never did anything. In fact one day I cut my forehead for a fall and they had to take me to the hospital, my father was not there and I was too old for my mother to carry me, when we left, these guys helped me and took me to the hospital in my arms. I will never forget. Unfortunately the guy who took me in his arms died 3 years ago because of drug problems. That's why I want to help.

When I saw them getting high [they always did with what they found, once with an insecticide] they relaxed and did not do much, sometimes they got violent, but they left when the effect reached their heads, so I did not see them. Every time they tried to stop drugging, they became very anxious and at the end of the day they did it again. Last month a guy left the drugs and looks completely different. I am very happy for him.

English language challenges

I like to watch movies without subtitles, to play video games in English, to listen to songs in English, to read books in English, among many other things. This is why I enjoy every time I learn a new word or tenses. In English school was one of my favorite subjects and I was doing very well. In college it is a bit different, since there is more pressure in between, and I personally do not work under pressure, however it has been an enriching experience, because I have learned more about the language and also how to relate it to my life and my career.

Blogs. It is a very good method to apply English learned, works very well. In addition reading the experiences of others strengthens learning (that is my perception).

This year I learned that each country has its own language rules (eg United States and UK), so it is difficult to learn English in the 'right' way. I know there are many words that I do not know, so I must always reinforce my vocabulary. The modulation is very important too, there are words in English that when I say them I pronounce them with a 'Latin' accent that I can improve over time and sharing with people who only speak in English.

Outside of the classroom I use English (as I said before) to listen to music, read, play video games, help my parents with some instructions or songs, among other things.

I know that this language is a basis for learning others, since in many countries they are using English as the second official language. Personally I want to learn Japanese and if I learn English (well), it will not take me so long to learn another language.

Summer holidays

This year I finished classes in January, but that's no problem, because every year in my school we stopped, so I always leave in January. The most fun is to be able to say to my classmates and teachers: Happy new year! or Merry Christmas!, sometimes both. The bad thing is the heat, because going in uniform when there is 34 ° C is torture.

In the holidays I plan to go to Arica, because I have never gone and it seems very interesting, also the most north of the world that I have arrived is to Coquimbo and I want to know more Chile.

My sister and I love the dark places, once we were on a tour in an abandoned hospital, we were very scared, but it was fun. For holidays we plan to visit a night graveyard.

I constantly visit Art Museums, so this holiday will not be the exception, I am anxious to see the new artistic interventions.

If I do not go on vacation this summer I plan to work on anything, just for the money. I've never worked for money before, money magically comes to me through my parents (hehe). I think I could work at McDonalds, but I know it's very hard and they pay little, so I also think about being a promoter, but I also know that they spend all day standing.

I really like to travel, so I hope I can go to all the destinations I plan.


Thanks for reading <3.

Your Future Job...

I recently learned that there are chemicals that oversee industries, seeing as contaminated, belong to the ministry of environment. So I would like to job in a lab, checking some samples of factories, and see if them pollute the environment. I really want to do this, because I really live the environment, it is all what we have, and our labor as living being is to care.

I really want to travel to other countries, because I want to see how the pollution outside Chile is. For example, I think USA is more polluted than Chile (special in New York). Also I imagine that Africa should be one of the cleanest continents, because there are so many industries, as in America. So I would go to see how true my theory is.

I don’t really care about the money, because the environment is something that I really love. So I just need the money for feed myself, and buy other things, like clothe.

I recently visited an industry that produces Rhenium and Molybdenum, they said they did not produce pollutants, in fact all wastes reused them. I patronize an innovative idea and make me feel that new technologies are taking place in Chile

Music

Unfortunately I can not play any musical instruments, but I really enjoy listening.

In general I like all kinds of music, but lately I like electronic music more, I feel encouraged and fun.

When I was little I liked folk music like Violeta Parra and Victor Jara, I still like them.

I am very good at memorizing the lyrics of the songs, I remember more than two hundred and in any language (in general they are: Spanish, English, Japanese and French).

I really appreciate that the authors believe deep things with the lyrics of the songs, that's why I've fallen in love with Sia lately, her lyrics are overcoming and loveless. My favorite Sia song is Unstoppable.

Thanks to my sister I know all the songs (and dialogues) that appear in Mulan, it's sticky.

Last week I went with a friend to see the symphony orchestra of the University of Chile. I thought it would be boring, but to my surprise it was very entertaining. The music kept me hanging and at all times I wanted to know what instruments were playing.

I can say that I could spend all day listening to music, in fact, I think I have. I really hate it when my headphones are broken.

Holidays

Last year I went with my father to Coquimbo, at first we were alone, the next day my mother and sister arrived. We were there for a week.
The first day with my father we went to the beach and ate seafood empanadas, it was delicious.
The second day I went out with my sister to travel, we arrived at the Cross of the Third Millennium, had to pay an admission ticket, but we managed to enter without paying. The place was beautiful you could see the beach from that height.


The third and fourth day we spent on the beach, I spent a lot of time at sea, with my father and sister, my mother just saw us and took care of things.

The fifth day came the circus to the beach, so we went to see, they had the woman in the biggest dress in the world, it was so much fun.
On the sixth day we went to tour the city, we walked too much and discovered that the city is another at night.
The last day we went to the beach for the last time.
It was awesome.

Our Amazing Human Body: Our eyes 

Vision is one of the most important senses, not only for humans, also for many other species.

Predators or carnivorous animals have eyes in front of the head, in order to focus well on its prey, on the other hand, herbivores have eyes on the sides, to see if any threat is approaching.


This makes our race is predatory by nature, but today, what human need to hunt? Just go to a supermarket, buy food and go.

Taking care of our vision depends on many things, such as avoiding bright lights, small letters, care of sunlight, use optical lenses (if you need them).

We have the ability to save images that we have seen in our memory, and the funny thing is that it is not necessary to observe them to see them. The downside of this, is that we also keep bad images, impossible to erase or modify. On the other hand there are things that are beautiful and simple as well as flowers, landscapes, people and many others, and we do not realize until we see them.
In life there are beautiful things we need to see and actually may not see, it is why the vision is for me the best sense we can have.
