BLOG N°2: The best holidays I have had

Imagen
The most memorable vacation I've ever had was in the summer of 2010 when I was ten years old. Travel with my mother and my older sister and we went to Chauchil town belonging to the commune of Hualaihue, in the Region of the Lakes. The journey lasted most of the night. It took us thirteen hours by bus to get to Puerto Montt and then we had to take another bus, which took two hours, to get to Chauchil. In a part of the journey to Chauchil, the bus had to embark since it is easier to get there by sea than by land. It was the first time I had traveled that far and the first time I got on a boat. If the trip itself was already special, those vacations were the best because it was the first time that I met my mother's family. It was the first time I met my grandfather, my grandmother, all my cousins, my uncles, my aunts :D   it was very emotional   Although it was only two weeks, those days were the best. I remember that we went to the beach, we bathed in the sea, in the rive...

The Scientific Power of Meditation

Imagen
What do you think of the video? Do you meditate? Why? Do you feel it works? Why? First of all, I found the video very interesting, fun and educational, I definitely loved it a lot. It was also very informative and thanks to the drawings they were much easier to understand and the truth is that I did not know that meditation had so many benefits for our health, it was a surprise. Sometimes one can be skeptical about certain subjects, but the video showed that even on a biological level our body has a beneficial process. Personally, I don't currently meditate, but in 2018 at university, chose a yoga course and, although it is not the same I suppose they are a bit similar. I would like to try to do it one day, especially now that know the benefits to health. But although I am at home, time is not enough. Also, maybe I don't meditate, but I try to do a little exercise, I need to move and feel good about myself. How are you feeling these days? Why? Well, as all have...

Gender Stereotypes

Imagen
Gender stereotypes are behavioral norms that are attributed to each gender and have been perpetrated over time. As the article pointed out, these are defined at birth. It's fun, but when baby's gender is announced, for example at a party or baby shower, the color options are always blue or pink. It's amazing how we inadvertently assumed that blue is for boys and pink for girls, when in reality they are just colors. Throughout our lives, these stereotypes add up and continue when we are little. The difference in toys, clothing, colors, games, etc., continues until we come to normalize them as people. After all, it is what our parents learned from our own grandparents, and so on, that demonstrates the retrograde thinking that existed in past generations. In the present, this situation is latent among us and we are increasingly aware as a society of this reality. For the last generations from the 90s to the 2000s, these stereotypes are already obsolete, the new generatio...

Why did I choose this career

Imagen
When I was a little girl and went to school, my first dream was to become a teacher, I liked the job of teaching others and feeling like they were learning. I think it is something very beautiful and admirable. However, when I was growing up, my thinking changed and I had other new interests. I started to like psychology when I was a teenager since I wanted to have the necessary tools to help others with their problems.  But to get into college, they asked for a biology score, and the truth is, I was never very good at science.  I always liked the humanist area more. So I took the history exam to study a career in that area. I didn't have a career in mind, so decided, in my last year of school, at the last moment of the postulation, literally.  Of all the humanistic careers, the public administration called my attention, because I felt that through this, I could also help others in some way. When I entered university, my expectations dropped. I got demotivated for variou...
