Learnig English

Learning another language is not something really easy to do, it takes plenty of time and discipline to success on it because is not just talking, it requires a lot more of work, you have to understand and completely change in a lot of senses, not literally but you will think with other words so the things that you say or the way that you express perhaps will not be the same that you would say on your mother tongue, so in someway your personality change a little and that's something hard to do, for me personally it seemed to be something impossible to do.

My English teacher didn't believe that and she helped me to understand the basic, after that I learned most of the English that I know on my house, changing the language of children tv-shows, those shows had a low level because they were for kids so it was easier for me to understand when I didn't know too much, when the time started passing I began to get better and better and I don't know how but one day I started to understand what people were saying in English and without noticing it I started to think in English,  that's when I realize that I actually had reached a good level and knowing that got me very excited, it was an incentive for me to try to keep getting better.

The English classes are really enjoyable for me, now these days, with the sacrifice of time and energy that the university has, I don't have the chance to explore my "creativity" and writing is something that I don't do too often but I think we all should do, express ourselves is a good way to relieve the amount of stress that we carry on our shoulders.

Changes to my study program

This shouldn't be stressful 

It is public knowledge that university is not easy, difficult to enter and difficult to stay in because that's basically the point, you have to be good enough to stay in and you will be the best when you got out. I don't think that that's completely incorrect because the world is sadly a competition and want it or not, we are stuck in this system, which makes students feel afraid of studying. We're told that we must produce and the study program is based on that, it's for you to be "successful" so that justifies the difficulty, but there are actually a few changes that I would like to do on my study program because its made to be good for you but it really turns stressful and depressing. Now, in my first semester, I have four main classes, calculus, mechanics, chemistry and laboratory techniques. 

I honestly like to have them, it's not tedious to me, but in my life, I've never been one the smartest students, always in the middle, not the one with the best grades but they were good after a few tries, so the problem that I have had all my life is that I do learn, but is after I do the test, my grades aren't really the best ones, I understand that I have to make an extra effort on it and I'm really doing it but it's not easy to change something that you have had all your life in a few months, so I would change the study program on that part, I would be better if it doesn't begin so hard already, at least on the first semester because it's hard to adapt to all the changes that have been happening since we left school, new schedule, time of travel, new friends, new people, new everything so I would change that, a little bit more emphaty with the ones that are on they first year, the difficulty should grow as the time goes by and when we adapt a little bit better it would be a good time to make it more difficult.

Questions that everyone should ask themselves at least once...

Buying pets 

I think that if pets couldn't be sold a lot of problems would solve at once, abandoned dogs and cats could perhaps have a home, the abuse that a lot of pets have to deal with when they are trapped in a little cage will stop, the "micro-traffic" of pets would also stop, a lot of people buy or stole expensive pets to make them have puppies and then sold them, so if we couldn't buy pets there would be no point in doing any of those things.

Climate change

This honestly should be one of the things that everyone should be worried about, our planet is dying (because of us) and we don´t have anywhere else to go. Climate change is going forward unbelievably fast and we need to do something about it, the livestock industry and the products it generates are responsible for 51% of methane gas and those gases increase the greenhouse effect, one of the causes of global warming, so a good way to help without doing that much of an effort is to stop eating those products, if we can´t stop eating meat at least stop eating in fast food companies, If we all stopped buying that food I really think that would make a difference and plus we wouldn't continue keeping those companies alive and our bodies will thank us.

Immigration

If it was up to me frontiers wouldn't exist, empathy makes us humans and Latin America is known for the level of resilience that it has so we all should fight, learn, cook, dance, and talk with each other. 

And seen in a politic way, a grown person that comes to produce and consume is an addition to the economy, so I don't see the problem, and to be fair Chile is known for export the famous "lanzazo" and other crimes to other countries so the "they come here to steal" argument it's not very valid on my point of view.

Human body

I still can't finish understanding how the human body can sustain and manage itself, if you really think about it, the way that it works and all the things that it's capable to do are mind-blowing. My  favorite part of all the things that the human body has are definitely the senses, being able to see someone, to touch and feel something, to taste a good dish of noodles is honestly what makes the difference between being alive and actually living, there is a huge difference between existing thanks to all the process that the human body does, and using those process to live your life, for example, I´m a musician (not a really good one but I try), the human body gave me the motor skills and the capacity to externalize what I want from my brain to my hands. 

To play music, that's important but not enough, to be a good musician you have to be able to feel the music that you are playing, in a weird way, its a mix between most of the senses, because you can feel by hearing, hear by seeing and see by touching. 

The principal sense of those is the audition wich is the ability to perceive and detect sound by vibrations through our ears, the vibrations are traduced to nerve impulses and transmitted to the brain, we are able to hear thanks to that and we can lose it if we don't take care good of our ears, so on my opinion hearing its a very important part of us, take care of it so we can still listen to music for the rest of our lives <3
