My academic year

This year was one of the best of my career, and in this essay I am going to talk about it. I am going to talk you about some classes those were my favorites and make me feel that my career have a great social responsibility and I am a part of that. On the other hand, I going to talk you about some classes those were very bored and didn’t represent a benefit to my academic develop and either to my personal growth. Finally I am going to talk you about some challenges that this year leave me for the next.
At first point, I am going to talk you about my favorite classes. The first one was Judicial psychology, in this class I studied topics related to the people who live in jail, about their rights and in the cruel conditions where they live. Here I discuss with my classmates about what we can do to improve their live conditions and to improve the judicial system, because it just worries about punish the criminals but it doesn’t care about their rehabilitation. So our work such as judicial psychologist is thinks about how to improve the live conditions in jail and social insertion of the ex convicts and after it we have to apply our ideas.
Another class that I like so much was clinical psychology, specially the humanism therapy such as Psychodrama and Alba emoting. This kind of therapy propose that we have to pay attention not just to the human behavior or mind but the body too. It goes deeper than any other kind of therapy, besides the therapies that and mention before mix art and psychology, because they integrate the theatre into the therapy to improve the communication abilities of the people.
On the other hand, I had unuseful and bored classes too. Between them are communitarian intervention and psychology of the work. These classes were very disorganizated and with poor information. Besides they couldn’t motivate me because the activities were very bored and they weren’t interesting.
Finally and concluding I would like to propose some challenge to the next year because this year I couldn’t get them. The first challenge is related to communitarian psychology, I would like to learn more about this area because I like so much although the communitarian intervention class were a disaster. Another challenge is learn more about Psychodrama and Alba Emoting Because they mix art and psychology, and I love scenic arts so I like to develop this abilities to improve my circus shows. My last challenge for the next year is start to apply the abilities learnt in the university so I would like to have more practice experience.

My challenges ¬¬

Hello, everybody in the world. Today I’m going to talk you about my personal and professional challenges, this is a very interesting topic so I thank the English program for it. Well, focusing on the topic, my first challenge is to finish my career and become a judicial psychologist. This area raises many challenges and among them we can find: the improvement of the living conditions of the prisoners, because they live in inhuman conditions and receive cruel treatment. Another challenge in this area is to work in the rehabilitation of ex-prisoners, because they leave jail and they usually don’t have another choice just start again their criminal lives, so I think that it is very important to provide them a strong support after they leave jail. Besides, it’s an important challenge in this area work in the psychological treatment of the victims of violent crimes such as rapes, violent assaults, etc. after this events people often feel really ashamed and scared so is a great responsibility work with this people.
On the other hand, a big challenge for me is dedicate my life to the circus arts. In this way, in my life project is referred travel to France to enter to a circus academy. This raises, in first place, overcome a demanding physical audition and then an important challenge is accustom to the physical training that this academy requires. Another big challenge in this area is after finish the preparation period find a good place to develop the abilities acquired or a good job.
A great challenge in my life is unified the previous objectives, believe it or not, psychology and circus are areas very complementary, in this way I would like to work mixing communitarian psychology and circus, encouraging Resilience in children and poor people.
Finally my closest challenge is complete the thirty-five hundred words that this blog assigment requires, And I think that I am close so I am trying to prolong my speech. Well I only have fifteen words so I have tos ay good bye, I hope you like my work, see you later.

FREE TIME!!!!

Hello everybody, how are you?
Today I’m going to talk about my favorite activities, those that I do when I have some free time. Is really strange for me to have free time because I’m a very busy person, but it will depend of the point of view, because most of my activities could be considered things that common people would do in their free time, however for me are a serious job. I’m talking about circus arts, juggling, etc.
So in my free time I love locking in my bedroom alone and listening to music in the dark, it relaxes me too much. It let me disconnect myself of my responsibilities and obligations, when I listen to music I can analyze what I am doing whit my life, I can realize my mistakes, and meditate about different topics.
Another activity I enjoy a lot when I have free time is doing yoga or stretching my muscles, I often practice a lot of exercise so my muscles are generally stiff and tired. When I stretch my muscles I prevent that the lactic acid accumulate in specifics places spreading it reducing muscular pain. Besides when I stretch my muscles, although it is very painful, I know that it is very beneficial for do circus art giving me more elongation and plasticity of movement.
Finally in my free time I like very much meeting my friends, and talk about our life drinking a beer or tastier drinks, we usually meet in Bellavista neighborhood because there are lots of bars and pubs to choose. Besides, we generally finish dancing in a disco and go to sleep all together to the house of one of us, passing all day together.
Well in summary those are all the activities that I do when I have free time, they are just a few because as I told you I have little time, besides when I’m doing these activities I feel wasting my time and I think that I could use it in something more productive. So that is all for today, I hope you like my activities and enjoy it such I do. Bye bye.

Music in my life


Hello, today I’m going to talk about one of my favorite topic, I’m going to talk about my favorite music. Music is one of the most important things of my life, I’m always listening to music, everywhere and every time, you can usually see me with my headphones listening to bands like Coldplay, Travis, Suede, etc.
My favorite kind of music is Brit Pop, but I listen to all kind of music like Electronic, Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, etc. I often change the music of my pendrive because when I listen to it many times I start to get bored. Besides the sort of music that I’m going to listen to will depend on my mood, So when I`m sad I listen to Brit Pop, Trip Hop or slow music, but when I’m glad I listen to Pop, Rock or Electronic.
On the other hand, I usually have to explore new bands or styles of music because I practice circus arts and in my shows I have to project different emotions so music is a powerful tool to do it, and many times unknown music groups represent deeper emotions than the super popular bands which always talk about superficial topics. In this way, I think music could be very therapeutic because it evokes different emotions and thoughts that could help us to face and overcome difficult situations.
Finally, one of my favorite bands is Radiohead who came to Chile this year in March; one of my favorite songs is “Pyramid song” because it produces me a cathartic sensation and relaxes me very much, I leave you a link for you to enjoy yourself this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy6JltOxLfo.

my favorite dish.

Hello everybody:
Today I’m going to talk about my favorite food. As someone of you know, I’m vegetarian and besides I’m very tricky, so food is a complicated topic for me, my closest friends and my family, they always have to worry about what I like and dislike when I’m invited to have something. But they just worry in vain because I have very simple tastes; indeed my favorite dish is spaghetti with white sauce.
The first time when I tried this dish I was in the house of one of my friend, Laura, and she cooked it for us, when I tasted it I immediately fell in love of it, I even ate a second plate. Few days after this I cooked it for my family and I teach how to prepare the sauce to my mother, they love the dish too but not as much as me
I always ask my mother that cook spaghetti with white sauce, indeed in the special dates like Christmas or in my birthday, this is very freak because generally people want to eat in this dates more special dishes but I’m satisfied just with a simple dish of spaghetti.
Its preparation is very easy and quick, which is a great advantage of this dish because you can cook it when you’re very hungry and hurry, besides the spaghetti is quickly absorbed by our organism, providing lots of energy in a short time, for that sportsmen always eat a great dish of it before compete.
Well I hope you can have the opportunity to try this delicious dish, that’s all bye.

What to do and where to go in Santiago.

Hello:
The topic about I going to talk you today is very bored, so I’ll try to make fun, I don’t know if I get it but I’ll do my best.
Santiago is the most important city of Chile, it’s our capital and there are lots of funny and interesting places to visit, one of them is “Forestal” park on Sunday, in there always meet lots of people with different interests and styles, it’s a perfect place to meet friends and buy second hand clothes, besides always there are circus shows and the contemporary art museum is nearby.
Other beautiful place is Santa Lucia hill that is the perfect place to go to with your couple, it’s a very relax and natural place you can share with that special person and do funnier things too…nearby you can find Bellavista neighborhood, there are many bars, pubs and discos. Everybody goes there to have fun and meet people, San Cristobal hill is in that neighborhood, and there you can visit the teleferico, the funicular and the virgin in its top from there you will have a privileged view of our wonderful city .
Finally my special recommendation is “La Piojera” a typical place of our entire country, there you can drink the typical “Terremoto”, a drink made with “pipeño” and pineapple icecream. As you can see Santiago is a very funny city. You’re welcome to visit us, Bye bye.
