My summer plans


This summer  I would like to go to Brazil and visit Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, because I love the beach and swimming is the best thing in the word. I can imagine the crystal ocean and the tropical weather,   I don’t know  but I think that the summer is coming in Brazil and me there :c. Rio has a great style. I always see the greatest landmarks in the world: the Corcovado mountain supporting the great statue of Christ the Redeemer; the rounded incline of the Sugar Loaf mountain. And Sao Paulo has the north beaches of the important port of Santos – especially on Ilhabela – rival Rio’s best; those to the south, near Iguape and Cananéia, remain relatively unspoiled.
Many times summer vacation provides a great opportunity to aggrandize  your usual social circle, but in my case I prefer  quiet places with  few people, because I am not  very friendly.  I think activities I could be part of the summer  are for example get a job, or explore an interest that you did not have time in the rest of year, you have the opportunity to go to a water park in hot days when you need a place to cool down and refresh yourself.

I am going to work this summer, in Falabella or Dunkin Donuts  for three  months, Falabella it a new job but Dunkin Donuts not. I worked there last year for three monts and I was very happy with the donuts. Im not very excited right now because this year has been very exhausting.

Challenges in Education

In the last years, Chile has been trough a tremendous crisis in the Education sector. Since 2006 many students movements have claimed for quality and public education for everyone. But the protester was the secondary students, this protest was knew as "la revolución de los pingüinos"( due to the color students wear). It began with specific claims as gratuitas transportation and entrance exams to university, and soon took shape as a profound challenge to the Chilean education reform and the foundations of the school system in the country.
The most important challenge is the public education for everyone, but in my opinion the problem is that many schools are public but the quality to education it's so bad, so the real challenge is improve the education existing and implement best study plans.
The strengthening to public education will demand time, resources and above all the certainty to students have the power to make changes in the system as well try to established a notion to study can help to be a great professionally, because I think that students have a bad vision about study, they not study and this is also a important problem that impede walk to a quality education. Actually, the problem is focused with the "New most" and their promises and so much people say that the discussion of gratuity will not be resolve in 2016, because everything has been reduced to an economic issue and that is only one factor to free education.

Blog Session 6: How green are you?


The people learn about environmentally friendly practices because in recent years this term have become buzz words on commercials and product packaging. But this has been used for so many different contexts that its meaning is in danger of being lost.
Environmental friendly practices contribute to green living because help conserve resources like water and energy.
I try to recycle for example I try to turn off lights in empty rooms and I try to used products with "made from recycled materials" for biodegradable products.
I am not used a bike because I live to two hours to my university and I dont have a car and I am always walking or using the bus or the tube.
I never supported any eco-organisations,  I do not know anyway why, I only know to Greenpace make things to try to care the planet and stop the abuse to the millionaire company.
I never supported any eco-organisations,  I do not know anyway why, I only know to Greenpace make things to try to care the planet and stop the abuse to the millionaire company. But I would like try to do something to help the planet because when I see the documentaries Climate change, Oceanic dead zones, deforestation, collapsing fisheries, air that's no breathable, undrinkable water, vanishing species  and  I think the fault lies with us.  I don't know what is carbon footprint , and I think that I don't make nothing to reduce my carbon footprint.

I think that the people in Santiago don't have a environmentally friendly practices, so many times throw trash to the street and this is so bad, missing so much things, for example, more dustbins or recycling campaigns.
