Since I was a little girl, my life has been related with English language.
My mom is an English teacher and she has always thought that in the globalized world that we are living now, English is a requirement.
In school I really liked English classes, I was very good and I always had excellent grades, but as all in this life, when you do something all the time since you had 4 years, the thing that you are doing starts to be annoying, so when I knew that in the new program for obstetrics English was obligatory, I must admit that I was a little bit angry.
(sorry joe, i'm not inspirated, I will finish it in my home :) )

Challenges in the "real world"
Today, I have to write about my career, but I must consider the challenges that midwives have out there, like in the real world.
I think this is a very important topic in the career of every student, because we all want to feel that we are doing something to improve our country, and be part of the solution and not of the problem.
Well, one of the fields that is important for us is education. Chile has a big percent of unwanted pregnancies, and the most of them is in teenagers and poor people, and I think that the root of the problem is precisely that the sexual education is poor and only a few have access to it.
I’m in first year here in university, but something that my teachers have emphasize me is that our mission as a midwife is not reduced only to bring babies to the world, we have to care about the life that the family can give to this baby, and if the mother is a teenager, and it was an unwanted pregnancy, or the family is poor, the life of the child and the family won’t be optimum.
So I think as educators midwifes have a lot of work.
On the other hand, we have technology.
Those days, we are in a world which is moving forward, and as every career we must move with the world, or stay with outdated techniques, but, at the same time, everyday more parents are looking for a natural birth, and not only about anesthesia, the parents are asking for comfortable rooms, without big machines or with too many people, so is very important have a balance between nature and technology.
Therefore I think that the technology will be more advanced when it is more in tune with nature.
But unfortunately, in my career don’t have many scientists, because most of the people who decide study obstetrics, usually get charmed by babies and then when they work want to be dedicate to them.
I think as a career we have many challenges out there, but as long as we realize about them, we can, overcome the problems, improve and make a better country. (Or world, who knows)

M O N E Y ♥
I really love the theme of today, I’m not sure if I love write about money, but definitely I must admit that I love money (as always as it’s mine of course), but most of the time, I don’t have it.
When I was a little girl I used to save every peso that my parents gave to me, but when I was growing up, I lost that virtue.
I usually don’t have money because I spend it in stupid things, like food (mostly), cigars which I know is awful), and things that people sells in the street.
And the worst part of the situation is that my parents don’t give me enough money because they don’t like that I smoke, so the only way that they can do something about it is giving me less money so I can’t buy cigars.
Otherwise, when I started university, I started to have more expenses too; for example, now I have to spend in photocopies, public transport, lunch, books, printing, etc.
So if I add it to my personal spending like parties, mc Donald, shopping, and a lot more, my money can’t live in my pocket more than two weeks.
But generally, I don’t like borrow money, for one simple reason: I always forget pay back. And is not because I don’t have money, I just forget it. So when I borrow money, I have to write it down. And when I lend money, I forget about it, so I just trust in the person who I lend it. (Probably that is the reason why I sometimes don’t have money).
Other reason that I’m always broke is that I don’t care about coins, for me coins are not money; I always lose them, or spend in thinks that I don’t need.
And finally, the last reason of my poorness is that a big percent of my monthly money goes to my phone, I can’t live without it, and so it must always be with minutes.
So if we take all these arguments, I can perfectly understand why my parents don’t like give me money.

Suggestions for improving my faculty
Well, today I must write about suggestions for improving your faculty, and must admit that is not one of my favourites topics, but I think that I have some ideas.
One of the things that I hate (with all my heart, seriously) is the computers of the library, I don’t understand how the university isn’t ashamed of the computers that we have. First of all, you never find a computer which works, you must try in 3 computers to catch one where works all the things at the same time (for example, if I want to use the mousse, I can’t use the USB port to connect the pen drive, or the keyboard, is really annoying).
Once I was doing a job (an important one) and suddenly the computer restarted by itself, and obviously I didn’t save my work, so after a long afternoon of hard work I had to arrive to my house and started all over again.
So I’ve heard that in other faculties have apple computers because the brand sponsored them. I think that is a good idea because in that way the university doesn’t pay the computers (because I can imagine how expensive could be buy good computers).
The other thing that the faculty must change is that they don’t have enough books for the students, I mean, they not necessary must have books for every single student, but if we are in the “Universidad de Chile medicine faculty” is important to have a lot of anatomy atlas for example, is one of the most important books that we need to study and they don’t have enough, we must go to others faculty to borrow that kind of books.
In spite of all I think that our faculty is amazing, the library is incredible (if we talk about architecture), and I love that we have a lot of green spaces, so after all, I like my faculty.
