My Pets

I would like to start by saying that all animals are beautiful within their qualities, they all have something that makes them different and unique. Not because they are wild animals, they should not deserve love or because they have made a mistake they must be punished with death. However, my favourite animal is cats ... I love cats, I find that they are very clean, intelligent and crafty creatures.

I have three cats, if they are fed up, but all three are very important in my day to day, their names are:

Missifus

I adopted the Missifus 7 years ago, it was very handy when I arrived at the house, I did not let her make love to her, much less take her in my arms, but over time she became fond and now she does not live without my jajajaja how egocentric I am, but it’s serious, for example when I go on a trip in the summer and leave it with my parents, my cat does not eat and she looks at the window, there's no one to take her out of there. Nowadays he sleeps with me and he takes off from me, even when I study, I have to place a cushion next to my notebooks so he can lie down, otherwise he will not let me calm down.

Gaspar and Lucas

I adopted Gaspar 5 years ago. Gaspar is a very special being, he is very lazy, he does nothing, only sleep and eat, but it is so affectionate, it is all the day on top of one and he is very jealous, for example if I take the Missi in my arms, Gaspar arrives and places himself in the middle, he is so funny.

Lucas is the young

Finally my Luquitas. I picked Lucas from the street 2 years ago. The truth I picked up for grief, I was two months old and I saw that they were going to run over him, so I took him and took him home. His life is about efforts and fights every day, he has problems to the kidneys and the stomach to cause eating bags when he was so small, recently they detected a problem in his eyes, so his pupils do not dilate and he will soon be blind. Lucas is really angry, he does not let them take him or care for him, but sometimes he has his moments of tenderness. What if he always sleeps with me and is so grateful with the things that always bring me bugs at the foot of the bed. But as I always say to Lucas, you do not have to understand it, you just have to love it.

I have to say that Lucas is the youngest of the three and the Missifus is the biggest

I love my cats, they are so cute!!

PD: My other favorite animal is the pandas, I hope someday to go to Chine and hug one.

Pupuya

To be honest I have had many unforgettable holidays, some with my group of friends and another with my family, so it is very difficult to decide for the best, because in all of them I did different things and I met new places.

The holidays that I remember most with joy are those of January 2013, when I met Pupuya with my family. We arrived at a cabin that is on top of a hill, which was wonderful, since it had everything one needed to travel, I remember that when we arrived, we kept things and started playing carioca while we shared a very nice family moment.

The next day we wanted to go to the beach and the truth is that we did not know where it was, at that time we did not have a car and in Pupuya there were no buses, or at least where we were, so we had to cross a kind of customs sand to get to the beach that was seen from the cabin, that road we travelled all day, since we liked to go to the beach a lot. When we were there, we laughed a lot, we sang, we played and we bathed, but what caught our attention was that there were not many people on the beach, for summer it's very long, right?

We were in Pupuya 3 weeks, which were very entertaining, every day we did different things and in the evening we had something while playing, without a doubt they have been one of the best vacations I have had, I love going out with the family.

PD: Then when we returned to Santiago, we discovered that the beach where we were going was not suitable for bathing and that the beach of Pupuya was down the hill, but on the other side and that there was a bus that left us there

Iceland

I would like to visit Iceland because I find that it is a very country that has many tourist attractions, besides is very beautiful.

What I know about this country are many things, because all my life I have dreamed with go. Within these things, I know that in the north of Iceland you can see the whales and there exist a lagoon, called blue lagoon which is used like a Spa. On the other hand, there are more than 25 different waterfalls, inside of them the one that I like the most is Gullfoss, the golden waterfall and you can visit the Thorsmork valley which is a path of a volcano. I do not know Iceland has so many geographical data, tourist activities and different events that I could be talking all day about it.

Some curious facts are:

• ·     In Iceland there are more sheep than people
• ·     Due to the weather, there are no ants
• ·   Iceland is one of the countries where books are bought the most, having a literacy of almost 99.9% of the population
• ·    It has no army and no air forces

When I got to know this country I would like to do everything that I have mentioned and more, hopefully to know all the waterfalls that it has and participate in all the activities that are organised.

The truth is that I would not live there, but maybe once I go I do not want to return, I do not know you never know. But in case I stayed, I would like to work and contribute my bit to that country.

What was it like to have a blog?

When I was little, when I was eleven years old, my mother almost died ... she had a stroke that almost cost her life and to get out of that pain I started writing what I thought and what was going on around me, first I started with notebooks and then over the years I knew the blogs.

The blogs I had when I was little were not about my life or what was happening to me, since I was too embarrassed to talk about myself, however, I discovered a new way of writing that helped others, talked about life, phrases, of books etc. At that time for me it was impressive how people told such personal things and I could comment on that.

Later on, when I entered English III and had to make a blog, it still happened in my mind. And what will I write about? But it was a little lighter when all the classes told us about what we should do the blog. I really enjoyed this experience now with my classmates because through writing you can know the way in which my colleagues express themselves and for me it is nice when people want to share something with another person.

I would like the class to include a free theme, for example, I would like one day to get to do the blog and say "free theme" would be something entertaining, because when people feel trapped to write about a topic, the first thing they consider most important always comes to mind.

Now if we talk about a specific issue, I would have liked to talk about positions on some current issue, for example, about the feminist movement, about politics, religion, vegetarians, etc. I would like to talk about current issues because one knows and sees that there are more positions than one's own to face those issues. Also, it would be something really entertaining because the people who disagree with you will write it in a comment and your convinced of your ideas will answer the answer and so on.

This course, besides being a challenge, was terrible! come on! Write in another language? It was really difficult, but not impossible. It is an experience that everyone should do as a challenge.

Greetings to my readers

Dependent personality disorder

This disorder is a mental state in which people depend too much on others to meet their emotional and physical needs.

People who suffer from this disorder do not trust their own ability to make decisions. They may feel very upset by the separation and loss of someone. They can do anything, even suffer abuse, in order to maintain a relationship

The symptoms of dependent personality disorder may include:

• Avoid being alone

• Avoid personal responsibility

• Is easily hurt by criticism or disapproval

• Focus too much on the fears of being abandoned

• Between others…

This disease is suffered by more women than men and the majority in adulthood, although it is not ruled out that children suffer from it.

This disorder is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation and its most effective treatment is to help people, through more independent choices in life. There is also a medication treatment, but it is not usually used unless the person has another mental disorder in addition to it.

The impact on the job can be hard, since being unable to make decisions is difficult to maintain a position in a job.

As for the family, it can be hard if the family does not have the patience and interest for the person to improve, since generally people with a disorder need people to support and help them.

The complications that people with this disorder can have are alcoholism or substance use, depression and a higher probability of sexual, physical or emotional abuse, so the social impact is severe, that is, if this person does not have a close circle "Healthy" may die or hurt herself.

If you think you may have this disorder, check with a specialist. The important thing is to get out of doubt and feel good.

My favorite course

When I was in school I liked mathematics and chemistry a lot. I remember that when I was in the eighth grade my great love for science made me enroll in a laboratory, which was an excellent decision, since that made me decide to study something related to chemistry, because I went to different places to talk about my scientific project, I went to Explora fairs and, in turn, represent my school in science competitions in other schools.

Nowadays I realize that my decision to study chemical sciences is the best thing I have done. Now that I'm in the second year of my career, I can say that one of my favorite courses is analytical chemistry, since it is a different type of chemistry, it is not the typical thing that you should learn by heart for the test and then you forget, as it is chemistry. This course teaches me to analyze what in the future I will do in a laboratory, it prepares me to face those possible situations to which I must submit

In this course we see the quantitative and qualitative analysis for example Ph, redox, cation march, etc. The classes in this semester are mainly theoretical, since it is Analytical I, but next semester I will have a laboratory analysis and another course of analytical is called Analytical II.

I believe that this subject is very interesting, since without the analysis of a sample I could not carry out my possible investigations. Therefore, it is very important for all those who are studying with something related to chemistry.

I can’t say anything bad about my teachers, the three who taught me in the course are excellent teachers. They explain very well, they worry about developing all the possible cases that we can face. I feel very happy that in this course I have had good teachers that they dedicate to the student understand

I have said how great this course is, but the truth is that if a person who does not like science, enter classes, he would not like anything, even if the teachers teach him. To study science and really anything, you have to have a vocation.

When I grow I want to be...

I have always believed that this phrase has a bad start, because in life already are somebody, but we have not yet developed into nothing. It can be perspective of each one, but my I do not personally like.

 

At the beginning every time they asked me what it would be like when I grew up, I would respond that I wanted to be a good person and help the street dogs. Then as I was growing up I wanted to become a veterinarian, carabiner, military, dancer or cartoon designer.

I went through so many options, but finally I decided on area of ​​science. The truth was not easy going from art to science, but I had people who supported me with every decision and eventually became my role model. Maybe they are not people as important to the world as Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking or Albert Einstein, but for me they are the people who guide me every day to fight for what I want and help me in the moments when I need it the most.

My sister is Karen Salas. She is a graduate of the University of Chile in 2013, currently she is 27 years old and has three titles related to her area. Today she works in the security Mutual and has attended more than 500 people saving their lives or simply helping them in their last moments, either with a smile or with an attention. She is my greatest admiration, not only for being my sister, but rather because she has shown me that every effort has its reward. She supports me when I need her the most and every time I see her at work, I think "Will I be as successful as my sister? Can I be as smart as her one day?"

My cousin is Alex Salas, he is a professor of physics and technology from the pedagogical university of Chile in 2015, but before that he studied chemistry in the metropolitan technological university until 2006 and is currently 34 years old. Nowadays he works doing classes in the CEPECH pre-university. He is my admiration because he taught me that we can all make mistakes, the important thing is to know how to get up again, he taught me that life does not depend on always making good decisions, but on trying and never giving up. My cousin changed his career at 20 years old like me and he shows me day by day that this was the best decision he could have made, since what he likes best about his job is to bring science to schoolchildren and help them understand that science is not as complicated as it looks.

My cousin is Javier Campos, he is an engineer in computer science graduate from the University of Santiago de Chile and is currently 34 years old. Today he works in Germany and he is my admiration because he taught me that it is never too late to achieve your dreams. My cousin now knows more than 16 countries, is currently getting to know Egyptian and he teaches me with every trip that, if you want, you can do it.

They have not contributed something as great as the scientists mentioned above, but for me it is not less than saving lives, teaching others the importance of science or taking foreign knowledge to their work area.

These three people are my role model, my admiration, my goal to follow.

The music in my life.

Music is the most direct art, enters through the ear and goes to the heart - Magdalena Martínez

I have always thought that music is something fundamental in the life of human beings, since without it things would be very boring. Can you imagine that the concert did not exist? What comedies did not have musical effects at times of stress? Can you imagine a life without music? Nevertheless, the music accompanies us all life since we are born untril we die, danced with her, laugh, cry, sing, play, etc.

Leonard Bernstein once said "music to name the Unnamable and communicate the unknown". For me this phrase completely reflects my perception of music, since in addition to the musical rhythm, I really like the songs that have a meaning for me. An example of this is "moments - Eduardo Gatti" which makes me remember my grandfather who died 15 years ago, reminds me to it because we sing it at his funeral.

As I said before also I fixed in the musical rhythm, but the truth is very wide, even though I love the rock, I also like romantic music and cumbia. I feel that my musical taste is undefined. I hear groups such as System of a Down, Rammstein, Deftones, Alice in Chains, Camila Gallardo, Grand Funk, Jimmy Hendrix, Maluma, La Moral distraida, Mon Laferte, Kudai, Paramore, Pxnda, etc.

System of a Down - Hypnotize

Mon Laferte - My good love

All Along The Watchtower - Jimmy Hendrix

When I was small also I listened to these groups, but also listened to or rather I still hear, music Japanese or tv series of Chile, for examples Amango or SOS rebellious heart.

Amango

SOS rebellious heart

I can't say that this music already I don't like, since it brings back many memories of when it was small, so occasionally I still hear it.

Also when I was little the Spirit film, liked it very much so all your music know it me and sing it when I do the toilet or I'm studying. I find that this film without music would be very boring.

I will not give up - Spirit

Others song of movies that I remember

You will live in my heart - Tarzán

Hakuna Matata - The lion King

While I have spoken quite a lot of music and the importance that has been in my life, not touch any instrument. I remember that once to a guitar shop, but as much as you try, unable to play guitar, I just think that I am not made to generate music, but rather just to listen to it.

Iceland

Since I was little I’ve always wanted to know Iceland, but so far I have not had the opportunity. I love this country for many reasons, among them is that it has many waterfalls, its terrain is different and vast, you can see the northern lights and has some beautiful glaciers.  People are happy and they continue to speak their native language, which is an example to follow.

Vatnajökull glacier - David Clapp

One of the photos that I like most about this beautiful country it’s the Vatnajökull glacier (southeast national park of Iceland) taken by David Clapp in the year 2016. This picture I like because besides showing the first thing I want to know about Iceland, transmits the simplicity of the human being before nature or at least that’s what he transmits to me.

The human being thinks he owns the world by building and developing with the steps of the years, but in this photo the opposite is shown, it is nature that sustains the human and can do what he wants with it.

On the other hand, this picture I like because I have it hanging in my room and every time I see it, I am motivated to finish my career and to be able to meet Iceland.
