Post 9 : Changes to my study program

-
With respect to english subject, I think that there have to make a big change in the program and establish the mandatory English, since is a very important tool for our life and future.  It’s not posible that a professional from University of Chile to graduate without knowing English. Also, the schedule that exists now is not confortable, we don`t have time to lunch and we have to run to the other class, is a big problem, and is because of this  that some student  don’t want to take this subject, or many times there is no capacity. With respect to other subject I think that in the first two year there should be more agricultural subject, in early years the University bombards us with very general subject, like calculus, algebra or chemestry, is because of this that many students suffer vocational crises. I think that we should be able to take specialized subjects before that the last years, subjects that we are passionate about, in the early years is very difficult to take elective

Post 8 : Personal Opinions

I would like to talk about immigration too . It is a very recurrent topic these days, since the government of Sebastian Piñera didn’t want to join the migratory pact of the ONU. There is a lot of ignorance , I believe that the people and the government don’t understand that the pact is to ensure a "safe, orderly and regular migration", justly promotes the guarantee of the human rights of migrants together with respect for the sovereignty of States. The Pact doesn’t declare that migrating is a human right, therefore, there can be no confusion there. It has been alleged that the pact equals the rights of regular and irregular migrants. Here it is necessary to recognize that it really does, but it seems that it is hard for them to understand that irregular migrants are also people and therefore do not lose their human rights, or do they want to treat them like animals?. The Pact ensures that their fundamental rights are fulfilled, giving them access to basic services

Post 7: Environmental Conflicts

-
For us as Agronomists, who work directly with the earth's resources, the care of the environment and the issues related to the environmental conflict should concern us. Since there are resources that to some extent, depend on us, such as water and soil, it is up to us to change the paradigm that, for agronomists, business is not just business. An example very related to this is what happened in Petorca, a province that is in the current list of shortage decrees, thanks to the greedy idea of ​​four families to take over the water rights of the sector and handle them without any care. In addition to planting thousands of hectares of monocultures of avocados, which are species that consume a lot of water, in a soil with little retention. They were years and years that the government never fiscalized them. There are also industrial problems such as the example given by the teacher, Quintero / Ventana the biggest environmental problem these days, where we can realize that the g

Post 6: Post graduate studies

-
Right in this moment, I`m in the year of the career when I ask myself if to take or no to take a postgraduate degree, on the one hand it is convenient  because it is cheaper and I can advance subjects, in fact, I already have postgraduate courses, but anyway will be a year or a year and a half more at the university and my idea is graduate me this year, since I already studied a career before so I’m already in the age of exercising some profession, be able to be an independient person and have stable money. Another factor why I decided not do postgraduate is that in interviews to do my practice, the staff of the companies does’nt care if the new graduate has a magister, it’s preferable to gain experience first, that's what they told me. That’s why I prefer to gain experience especially in the area that I like (agroindustry and oenology), areas in which I have ventured with my thesis and with elective and postgraduate courses. In the future, I want to do a magister, hop

Post 4: Videogames

This topic is not my specialty, since I am not a fan of video games, but I must say that when I was a girl I was good at playing video games at the time that Nintendo was released. I was around 8 years old when my parents brought the super nintendo for a Christmas, they bought it in the zofri from iquique, I still remember it well since at that time I had never had an approach to videogames I loved games like Mario Bros and Dong King Kong, especially the last one, as it was very entertaining. I remember we spent day and night playing with my cousin and my brother until we could pass all the stages. Then I kept buying other games, but they were very expensive so it was not so easy, and I started to get interested in other things. But my brother was obsecionado with the games, he played every day with his friends, he bought all the versions of nintendo, cube, 64. Then when the Playstation appeared I got involved again with the games, since now I could buy CDs very cheap and I could

Post 3: Movies

Movies! An art that charms many people since time immemorial. I've had a fondness for movies since I was a little girl when my uncle who worked selling movies in the “Persa biobio”, brought copies to my house and I saw them all, and then I became a member of the "Bazuca" service, where from a web page I chose the films and they arrived to my house. At that time my favorite movies were some like: Taxi Driver, Buffalo 66, Lost in Translation, Eraserhead, Elephant, Pulp Fiction, No Country for Old Men, Fight Club or some horror movies of series B like "Night of the living dead".  There was a moment in my life that I liked cinema so much that I thought about studying "film and audiovisual communication", but it was just a stage jeje, I spent all weekends at the Cine arte Normandie, or traditional cinema. Now I see movies of all kinds, but I will always have a fondness for independent films since it is a kind of cinema where there is a free

Post 2: My best holidays

-
I saved money, for a long time with my boyfriend, and we prepared a trip through South America, 2 years ago. The first stop was in Perú by bus from Iquique. First we visited Tacna, a city with a lot of commerce, then Puno, a rural city, and then we went to Lima, a city with a lot of activities. We stayed in a hostel for backpackers very cheap but comfortable in Miraflores. Here, friends were waiting for me for put music in a party (I´m dj) Then we travel to Bolivia, La Paz, but the city was paralyzed by elections. Then we went to a beautiful place called Copacabana, around Titicaca lake, the most beautiful was an island called Isla del Sol. We had to climb many steps to get to the top, with the tents and backpacks it was difficult, but an Aymara child helped us. A totally recommendable place. Then we travel to Paraguay throught the Chaco, it was an exhausting 27 hour bus trip, on an old rural bus without air conditioning: the worst but most remembered bus trip of our lives. In Asunsi
