My study program - Social Work

Hi everyone! in this opportunity I´m going to talk about my career and the changes that I would like to make to the study program. I’ve heard a lot about subjects that are just wasting the time of the students in a lot of universities and faculties; in every single career.

In my case I´am studying Social Work in the faculty of social science and there are a few subjects that, in my opinion, shouldn't be on the curriculum like the obligatory extra courses. I'm talking about the CFG and the sport courses. I'm not saying that they are a waste of time because I have been in some of them and they are really good but the problem is that they are obligatory for the career and sometimes the time to pass every course is not enough.

Another subject that in my opinion must be changed are the ones that doesn't have much in common with the future of the career like, in my case, philosophy. I like philosophy but I just don't like the focus that the program gives to it (also it was very difficult and I really don't like it). I just don't like the way the professor teach us, his methods wasn't so good in my opinion.

But in general I think that all the subjects that I’ve have until now has teach me new things like to use Excel and others programs for the computer. Finally and I think that if I have came to hate some subject is because the academic charge.

Questions and answers!

• What is your opinion about tattoos?

Well I think that tattoos are very pretty and also a cool way to express feelings or whatever people want. Personally I think that tattoos can show us a little part of the personality of the people and I would love to have one someday! maybe in my arms or legs and I want that at least one of my future tattoos have a special meaning to me.

• What is your opinion about animal testing?

First of all, I think that if we talk about animal testing we are talking about animal abuse too. Animals had feelings and I don't think that the testing of makeup is a reason to experiment with them; nothing is a reason to experiment with them really. So I am really against it and I think that there is another way, a cruelty free way, to make things.

• What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’?

I don't like it, I just think that “mechoneo” is an abuse of power to the young people who are recently included in the university. I remember that in my first year of university I was so nervous about that, I didn't know what clothes use or what day it was going to be but the “mechoneo” never happened because it was cancelled. So I'm against “mechoneo” and just a funny welcome is ok.  

• What is your opinion about recycling?

I think that recycling is a good way to help the planet. Make things useful again is a really good idea and very sustainable! But I think that  the real problem are the big industries.

What would I do if I won the lottery?

Hello! in this opportunity I’m not going to write about things that I like or that had happened to me. Today I'm going to dream and imagine what would I do if I won the lottery.

Well first of all, if I won the lottery I'm probably going to be too excited about it and I would tell all the people I love and the next day we would celebrate it with so much food and drinks haha, It is a thing that doesn't happen every day and obviously not to everyone so it IS a occasion to celebrate.

Then probably I´m going to help my family to get a house and all the things that we need so we can have a good and comfortable life.

After I help my loved ones I would like to travel around the world. There is so much places that I would like to visit, so many cultures and people that I would love to meet but my starting point would be Chile. Going from north to south and then to Rapa Nui is like a dream to me.

And then, in the case that the lottery was a big price, I would like to invest in a good business because the money won't last forever. Something like a little store to have it like a second option.

I think that if anyone in the future won the lottery would be fantastic haha

Post graduate studies

Hello! In this blog I’m going to talk about a postgraduate course that I would like to take in the future, but not really to be honest haha. It is because i don't know if I want to take one in the university. I think that if I have the chance to keep studying I would like to do a course from another area, different from the social science like lessons of gastronomy or something related to cooking; that is because I wish I could develop other skills and it is a very interesting area.

If I follow that path I would like to do it in Chile but in a different city (Santiago just bored me sometimes) and the subjects I would like to study could be things like learn to make a cake and all the sweet desserts, just love them!

If I think about the “how I would like to study” I may choose a part-time course because it is not a full-time option. To pay the lessons I have to work and also I love what I am studying right now so even if a take that extra course I'm going to be a social worker <3

So if I think about that option, it sounds very funny and lovely to be a cook-social worker haha all my friends would have the opportunity to eat a lot!
