My experiencie learning english

English is one of the most spoken languages worldwide, little by little it has been over crowded and has been part of the teaching of many individuals from a very early age. Has shown almost a requirement in many jobs and careers, is an advantage, a plus for training, especially abroad, in a world language that aims to move on and raising their level of quality in terms of education of the population, particulary aims to reach everyone equally, without discrimination.

Since childhood, rather from the elementary school I started to learn English because we have been taught that it is a very important tool for our future, and now I have seen this. From first grade I've had courses in English, beginning to learn from basic words (colors and stuff) and listening to songs, which I think is the best way to learn. So I went with English the rest of basic education, and although I learned a lot, I think I had not the best quality of learning, maybe they were too few hours devoted to this subject. In high school, I had a little more progress, submitting to readings and lectures, which became more enjoyable when we chose subjects of our interest, like the music I've always liked English, but it always cost me that is grammar and stuff, but I learned more in this period. Within this stage, the family got to meet my relatives from Canada who came to visit Chile, who speak French and English, so that Spanish was their difficult, but it was a great challenge for me, because every time who visited us was to listen and understand more, although often complicated I think I understand the general ideas. Along with that, the chat but I did something to test my abilities because I also wrote in English, and something I do understand and forming the necessary prayers. I'm currently in college learning English, and learned a bit more and more rescue is to associate my career.

English is fundamental in every sense, although I not previously thought so. In my career has served me well for many of the tools we use are in English, and has given me learn a little more study. At the same time in the future I intend to go abroad to continue studying and working, which is absolutely essential to learn the language more and more universal. For me is a challenge, but is not impossible

Just me

Well, the truth is that I've thought enough about to write and I haven't in mind a particular topic, something specific to talk or tell, perhaps it is important to have part of my dreams or part of my life, so that those not completely known to me to know more about me. If I had to define me in a word, maybe it would be dreamy person because I have many dreams and goals in life: trying to be a great professional and I say this in the sense that I want to help as best as possible to the people, make them happy through of my work. As for my life I can say that I love my family, who are the most precious thing I have and I love sharing every moment I have with them and make them laugh, my parents are my pride and I think all I have is I owe it to them and God, God first. Here's where I stop, yes ... in God because He is where I cast all the things I do in life, is my reason for life and who has given me everything and taught me to live in a different way, teaching me to appreciate every moment of the day and every detail that happens, even enjoying the not so good because that's where you can learn. In short: I am a quiet young women, dreamy, persevering, that puts everything at the disposal of God, who loves his family more than anything and will continue to dream despite everything that might happen.

The Brain

Dr. Maldonado's presentation was very interesting because it revolved around a very interesting topic in the area of health, the brain.
The brain is an organ of the nervous system rich in neurons with specialized functions constitute the largest part of the brain. It is divided into two hemispheres or halves, called cerebral hemispheres. In certain specialized areas within the brain controlling muscle function, the control speech, thought, emotion, reading, writing and learning, in other words, it is as if our engine, together with the heart. Dr. Maldonado, along with reminding the functions of the brain, explained the differences between a human brain compared with that of other animals, where differences were evident in the number of rows, plus the Dr. we presented a series of myths in relation to this body and can analyze them gradually appreciating when as the presentation progressed, for example, anatomically there is no difference between a male brain and a female brain; which we do not occupy a fraction of it, if we use it 100% but not at the same time, unlike what happens in epilepsy; the brain does not function like a computer, among others. At the end of the presentation, the topic is able to enrich more through questions from the class, and the Dr. answered questions about: stimulation of children, which must be from an early age, but not encouraged and made intermittently, we don’t remember events before 4 years and we don’t learn when we sleep.
For me it was one of the most rewarding presentations that I have witnessed in English because was understandable, clear, accurate information and also had a great willingness by both the teacher and class

Abortion

Nowadays, abortion is a very controversial topic, both nationally and globally because in all world the people have many different opinions; many people are in favour and much against playing a pivotal role ethics and human values and morals.
The birth control pills have been a major players in abortion as we as future midwives; In the last years, the tablet of the day later has had great controversy, without knowing exactly if it has an abortive power; but of all forms, I believe that his use must be for certain occasions, for example, a violation. Since future matrons we will take part in the delivery of these tablets, but we must have responsibility with our acts like of the patient

Personally I believe that alone God have the power to give or to remove the life, the abortion is the murdered one from any point of view, since the embryo is a life and many women finish with her, it is for it that I believe that I take a great task ahead as a future profesional of the health, since I believe that the solution divides for each one, for the responsibility of the women and his pairs and all this is possible across the educating people, is special of the young women, the student and in general of the family.

About this topic, in this moment only can said that in the future I will pretend to educate and many people for to avoid the abortion; I try to help to change this murder into wished pregnancies and happy families. All this dreams is important and It needs a lot of work, but is neccesary to fight.

Dealing with stress

Stress is a physiological response of the organism in situations of high demand, difficult or complicated for the person, such as work overload, and here is highly relevant as this is where we are presented (work area). Today stress is considered a common event in society and presents with symptoms such as nervousness, forgetfulness and lack of concentration, which can move forward and complicated to the point where help is needed from a health professional as a psychologist.
For stress management have sought alternatives, including trying to think positively, plan fun outings, organizing all activities relaxation, physical activity and other measures.
Another of the circumstances where it is subjected to much stress, and where we participate like students, is in the field of studies, especially at this stage that is the university, where the pressure is large enough, where labor intensive and both personal requirement, teachers and parents, also adding pressure that we played our future and we want it to be excellent quality. The pressure is great but the organization and give time to all things is essential to avoid reaching an extreme level of stress, learn to enjoy all essential for fitness to face the great challenges that we have proposed.
Therefore, stress is very common, but not impossible to prevent or deal with it depends on each one, especially on the sense and value we take to each one of the things we do every day trying to enjoy to the fullest and not always forgetting that despite all the demands, there is always time for everything.

Emergency Contraception Pill

Contraceptive methods are those methods that prevent pregnancy after sex. No doubt this is an issue that is very important in today's society because we can see that sexual initiation in the population is increasingly younger ages and this has brought a number of consequences such as the teenage pregnancy. Next to it is necessary to give importance to other issues such as the sexual abuse and rape, as methods like the "" has had discussions as to how it is used, recognized as a possible alternative in this field.
My career is very involved in sexual and reproductive health, we have a duty to ensure the welfare of women as well as the future baby and family. Therefore the use of contraceptives is relevant, since ideally should be the pregnancy be desired, because is a period who should be lived to the best way, both physical, mental and socio-economic, not that this is due to an oversight or consequence of not be informed of the possible outcomes that brings sex. As for the “emergency contraception pill” has been a very contentious topic of much criticism in recent years in Chile, has tried to reach an agreement as to whether abortion or not, we have studied their effectiveness an some health professionals have come to propose as it decreases as it slows its intake.
There is a clear issue completely, but I think it is better to educate the population so they can inform responsible sexuality, for me is a better option that promote contraception, appealing to have a single partner, the fidelity, the use male condom and you want to, abstinence.

Dance!

Funky, hip hop, pop, salsa and merengue are some of the rhythms that I have danced in recent years ... I love dancing, is one of my passions and maybe since I entered to university, it is one of the activities I want most to return to make more freely.
From an early age in school I got involved in academies of gymnastics, cheerleader and later the dance; I was very shy at first, but in every competition, gradually I learned to overcome fear and to improve the details to dance again next competition and do much better. I enjoy dancing, makes me forget everything, I enjoy ... actually: it makes me happy. In terms of competition, nerves, uncertainty and anxiety make all this passion something more exciting and leads to all of oneself, not just to win, if not satisfy the public and with it overcome the challenges we propose. Since I entered to university, my available time is not the same and therefore had to leave my academy, with great pain, but studies are my priority, because I know that if I want to fulfill my dreams, the base is in a profession , which likewise has me very happy.
Prioritizing does not mean forgetting, nor much less put aside the things, the dance is still my passion and I intend to retake this activity in some opportunity. I recommend everyone dancing, certainly assure them they will feel happy, more than you imagine, but above all I recommend, as always I say, fight for the dreams, because everything is possible.

Elegí Vivir

One of my favorite books is “Elegí Vivir”, written by a chilean college student, Daniela García. In this book tells her story of life; from childhood had the dream to study medicine, and when she was 22 years, Daniela was building this dream, but fate put obstacles in his path: in the year 2002 Daniela traveled to Rancagua for a study tour , but in this travel she has an accident falling from a train car in which he traveled: she lose her hands and legs. Daniela was faced with a terrible ordeal, maybe many people would lose their faith and would stop believing in their dreams, but she took all the strength, love and support of her family and boyfriend, fought for each their goals, despite how difficult it is to the career, she began to be rehabilitated. She entered to Teletón institution, where he met wonderful people who helped in the process, making face their fears and obstacles to further study, and so after a few years, he qualified as a doctor.
I read this book about 5 years without any special intention, just my uncle left the book in my house. I hadn't recommendations of books and, only knew about Daniela because I could see her in the television, participated in the Teletón, but did not know beyond her history. The most important for me in this book is the message: choose to live, despite all the problems we must not stop dreaming and fighting for what we want, and very importantly, we must cherish every moment and opportunity that God gives us.

The truth is that creating a blog was something new for me because I never had the idea of a creating a blog, really never caught my attention. I think that over the blogs we've done in the English classes, I have overcome some of my mistakes, which usually were of a drafting and misuse of vocabulary, talking about this I think one of the things I has encouraged the blog is to improve a little more my vocabulary because which is very important to improve understanding of the language.
The topics of the blog were entertaining, the topics could be pooled because they were talking about career and topics that were of interest to us, helps us to bring the English to our reality, because sometimes we believe that rarely we will use it, maybe never. Sometimes I felt a bit complicated to write the blog because my vocabulary is not broad enough, but the translator helped in some cases.
Personally I enjoyed seeing the blogs of my classmate, because I realized that their ideas and dreams are nice and some similar to mine, I admire the efforts of my classmate and I think everyone is going to achieve their dreams.

Well, talk about my ideal job is something like talk about my dreams and I love it. As ever told you, I would love to work in Rancagua, my hometown, it would be near people I love most, my family. I would like to work in the public system because people who have access to this system need extra help and who better than us as professionals provide the necessary help and support them more in full. Plus I wish to travel abroad to help where necessary, as Africa for example, and if possible to continue studying to improve myself a little more power. My dream is to specialize in neonatology, because babies are my passion, but I also would like to work in the delivery room and gynecology, especially to provide support for young mothers; I don't need a position in special in my work, much less dream a specific salary for the future, put my work to serve the people, is what interests me most. On the other hand I have not thought about working hours, I only wish would have time to enjoy my family.
In general, I hope to work with professionals like me, who love their work, which work together to help people above all things.

Hello! In this blog I will tell you about my best friend ... my mom. My mom was born August 22, 1963 in Rapel, she is the eldest of three sisters, and in my opinion, she is the prettiest! She had a tough childhood, where very young began to work off their studies and help the family. My mother always dreamed of studying medicine, and although he failed resources, never gave up and kept fighting.
I think my mom is the best friend anyone can have and I say this not only because her daughter, my friends say so. She is always supporting me and listening; I remember that in the summer nights we talked for hours about many things, time flew past and this it was the best because I could enjoy every moment with her, this is one of the I miss things that, now I can not meet every day because the time is not the same. Today life is much more difficult for me compared to years ago when I was at school because I'm away from my family, but I know that this whole process will be fundamental in my life because I will can share many things with them in the future and especially with my mom.

As a future health professional, I can use various tools to educate people, for example, through talks, posters, informing users in consultations, among other methods. The important thing is that education is of quality, that reflects concern for people to awaken an interest in them to learn and implement what is being taught.

There are various topics on which we may give health education, but based in obstetrics, sexual education is one of the most important topics within the profession, I can also include topics of family planning and nutrition; in nutrition is where we have gradually been taking an important role over time, especially in the nutrition of pregnant women for the correct development of pregnancy and health of the fetus. All people need education and prevention, we are all prone to diseases and living situations, which do need to note is that some people have more risk of experiencing these situations, as in the areas of low socioeconomic status, in people not have a complete school education and adolescents who are at an experimental stage.

Among the topics I'd like to educate the teen pregnancy, I still believe there is no real concern for adolescent sexual education, and I think that communication and information is one of the foundations to prevent unwanted pregnancies. It would emphasize here that in the case of young mothers, give them unconditional support.

Currently in Chile, the education program that stands out most is Chile Crece Contigo, which seeks to inform and educate women from every area and take responsibility for their actions and development. In a good program, but which still should work to improve.

Actually, the woman is reaching a more participatory role in society, achieving get rights that before only had a men, because society did created stereotypes for all aspects of the life. In the health area, we can now see the participation of men and women, but some differences still continue, for example, in certain professions such as Midwifery, there are more professional women than men because for a long time was considered a female profession and still are not changed at all that thought. In a more general level, including all the professions in the health area, we can see that the salary of men is greater than that of women, and this can be considered as discriminatory because they perform the same work and equal quality. Both women and men, undergo the same process to become professionals and are required in the same way, so it is contradictory to make differences. The quality of work which should be evaluated.

For me this topic is very important. I think that both men and women have skills and virtues that enable us to perform successfully in any area of work and in all areas of life, performance and achievements are based on perseverance and not everyone has on gender. This is my thought, but the reality is different, but I hope that this situation change in the future.

I’m in my second year of Midwifery, fulfilling my dream of studying in one of the most prestigious universities in Latin America: the University of Chile, but I have other dreams I want to achieve for example, after receiving my degree I would love to work in Rancagua, near my family. If conditions permit, years later I would like to go abroad, especially to travel to Africa, where there are many women who need help and where economic resources are scarce. So I can also say I really would like working in the public system, I think people who work there really have love for their work, but can be complemented with the private system which is important in terms of profit (money).
The specialization in neonatology is another of my dreams because as babies are my passion and know that I can help is very important to me. As far as my work schedule, I have no specific idea, but I wish I could have enough time to share with my family, and in the future, with my children.
Specifically I not pretend to have an important position in my future workplace, only I pretend try to make a quality work and dedication to people.
Those are my dreams, and I know that with the help of God it’ll be alright.

I think that all subjects are important for my career as a professional, we all bring knowledge and skills to develop in the future, I can say that so far, my favorite subject in the Midwifery career is Physiological Obstetrics, because it shows us more clearly the role we perform as professionals, we are really near of the profesional work.
Within Physiological Obstetrics, what I like most is the development of the fetus, showing changes during pregnancy and see how we can relate to it from outside. I think there is nothing "easy" in this issue because everything is difficult because we are working with lives, the hardest part is learning all the changes occurring in the pregnant woman and fetus during pregnancy because they are many. The development of content are delivered by midwives and midwives in the School of Obstetrics of the University of Chile, who are very willing to teach and answer questions.
As for my notes, are regular, not bad or good, but I want to improve and can reflect more than anything I've learned, because often the nerves betray me. I love my career and in the future try to be a midwife of excellence and help many people.

The use of the Web today is essential to study, especially now that I'm in the university. There are millions of places to enter but not all are of equal prestige, and in the field of health is essential to use the best source of information, since we are dealing with topics that have to do with people's lives.

Teachers tell us some sites, this time I chose www.redclinica.cl because it is a site that has information related to my career, and most importantly, the information is accurate and current. This site belongs to the Hospital of the University of Chile.

On the site we can find sections like and Clinical Medical Services, Research and Teaching. In relation to my area of research we can found specialties like Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Neonatology. I like review topics related with the Neonatology, because this area is my passion. I like this site because provides information as precise and clear to some of the work I've ever been performed during this period of study in the university, always trying an deliver quality in them, as a benefit of my notes and even learn everyday.

Actually I’m live in Santiago city, because my university is here, but I don’t like stay here, I miss so much to my family, they live in Rancagua (they are all for my).

My dream is to try to help all persons that I could, in special women and babies. In the future, I pretend to specialize in neonatology and work in Rancagua, because in this place there are few neonatologists.

On February 27, I lived the earthquake in Rancagua, with my family. This moment was terrible for me, because my sister crying so much. Everything

fell to the floor and this sound was shocking. In general the moment was terrible, but, now I am be very grateful to God, because all my family is okay.
