Post 10: Your Blogging Experience

Before writing these posts I had never made a blog. It has been a very enriching experience, although I have always been very interested in the web, I am not a person who likes a lot of other languages, nor English. However, the experience of practicing writing in English week after week showed me that what is most difficult for me in this language is to speak it and understand it when I listen to it. But on the other hand, writing it is much easier for me and I can do it with more fluidity than I imagined, in fact, sometimes I went over the amount of words requested without even realizing it. In the future, I think you could change the subject of at least one post, for one in which the student is free to choose the topic you want, because sometimes I did not accommodate the suggested topic so much, and I had to do anyway. I think it's much easier to expound on the issues that each person interested, maybe that way you can even find topics of student interest in the future to add ...

Post 9: A day to remember

One of the most important days to me, was October 31 of 2016, the day I survived to die frozen. A month ago, I met a girl that we started dating. The last weekend of October was going to be long, for that reason we decided to travel together. Our destination was Vilches, a little place close to Talca. It took us a day to arrive. When finally we arrived to Vilches, we enter to the forest. We prepared the tent to spend a cold night, and we learned a way to escape in case of emergency. We didn’t know that it was going to rain, and when it started it was very intense, so we had to protected ourselves in the tent. When it was very dark it started to get very cold, that was uncomfortable but at the same time it was fun to share it with my friend. We had not realized that it stopped raining and it began to snow, we only noticed when the carp was almost coming down. At that moment we took all our things and we escaped along the path we knew, but it no longer existed and we got lost in the dark...

Post 8: A Subject you enjoy studying this semester

In this semester I have had five subjects, and my practice that I consider anyway like a subject, because in Social Work career the practice is a mixture between investigation and intervention, so we  have also classes. Those five subjects are "Comparative analysis of public politics", "Subjects (individuals) and social movements", "English (pre intermediate level)", "Social analysis of territories", and "Social issue and inequalities". Well, I don't like very much any of these subjects, but I really love my practice in Diversity and Gender. This semester, we are doing an investigation in the district of Quilicura about homophobia, lesbophobia, and transphobia with a quantitative instrument. That instrument is a survey that delay 10 minutes or a little more, and we have to apply that survey to 380 persons of that district. That is very difficult and interesting. Besides the investigation, we have some classes, approximately once eve...

Post 7: An Expert on your field

I think that I don't have a preference for a particular expert, but also, on my field we work some theories more than others. My theoretical field is diversity and gender, and I do my practice on this topics. For example, we work with the post-estructural paradigm where it stands out the deceased French teacher Michel Foucault. And another approach is the queer theory, where an important exponent is Judith Butler, a philosopher from Ohio, United States. But nevertheless, I think that my own teachers are more important to me, especially my guide teachers from my practice. Their names are Caterine Galaz and Lelya Troncoso. I don't know a lot of information about their personal lives, I know that they live with their boyfriends, and I know that miss Catherine has a little child. But even though I do not know much about them, I choose them because they are more important to my career path than other persons. Caterine and Lelya work certain subjects like subjetivity, feminist pedago...
