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Those days, we are in a world which is moving forward, and as every career we must move with the world, or stay with outdated techniques, but, at the same time, everyday more parents are looking for a natural birth, and not only about anesthesia, the parents are asking for comfortable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)
