Since I was a child I wanted to be a dentist. This idea arose because I was watching TV, and in a program appeared one girl that was a dentist. At that moment I decided that I wanted to be like her, because it showed that she loved what was doing, and obviously loved her job. Now that I'm studying this career, I can say that I make the right choice, and I want to work as a dentist when I finish this. I would like to work in a hospital first, because my purpose is to help poor people, as I know that go to the dentist is so expensive, and I think that help to people that really need it it's so beautiful. Also, I think that work with those people is the best "school", I mean that is where you really learn things and gain more experience. After that, I want to travel, obviously, I want to gain as much experience as possible, and there's not another way to make it to know other countries and other cultures, because oral health in Chile can be very different fro...

I discovered my favourite TV series in 2018, so many people had told me that it was a fantastic series, the best that they had seen, but never caught my attention, because it isn't the kind of series that I usually watch. This series is Breaking bad. One day I was bored in my home, and I decided to see a chapter of this series. Since that moment I loved it, and I couldn't stop seeing it. First, I fell in love with all the characters, I think that each one had a particular personality that made them unique. Also, despite being very explicit it also has a touch of humour, and I think that that mix it's so interesting. The director and producer is Vince Gilligan. This series is about a chemistry teacher, called Walter White (made by Bryan Cranston) that was diagnosed with lung cancer. He thought that he was going to die, and as he didn't have so much money to leave to his family, he decided to manufacture and sell methamphetamine, with the help of Jesse (made by Aaron Pa...

If I have to choose a teacher that really inspired me and that I really admired is my chemistry teacher that I had in school. I came to study in that school in 2013, and since that moment he became in my chemistry teacher until I finished my school stage. His name is Leandro Díaz. I have to say that at fist I don't like him very well, because he has a very particular personality and a humor that not many understand. Chemistry always was easy to me, and it was a subject where I got good grades, and for that reason I started to have a good relashionship with my teacher. In that moment I noticed that he was like one of us, maybe because he's young. Sometimes, with another two friends, we went to his classroom during recess and he told us anecdotes and he started talking about other teachers who didn't like him. He was so funny, and he always told me that he had a lot of faith in me. He always encouraged me to give the best of my. One of the most important things that I a...

My best holidays ever were when I went to La Serena with my friends last summer. We were there for a week and stayed in my friend's house. I went with my school friends, and we had planned this holidays for a long time, but we had never organized it. I have to say that I always go to La Serena with my family, but it is not the same to go with your family and go with your friends. With my friends, I made many things that I usually don't do with my parents, and knew a lot of places that I had never gone to. In the day, we usually went to the beach to enjoy the ocean and sunbathe and went to different restaurants to have lunch and taste different meals. At night we usually went to parties, and when we didn't do that, we spent time at home and cooked or played games. I think that has been my best holidays, because it was so comfortable spent time with my friends, I really enjoyed that holidays because we had talked about that so much time, and finally made it. ...

I've never been to another country, the only time that I visited another country was when I went to Bariloche with my classmates in my study tour, but it doesn't count because we didn't know the places so much. The country that I really want to go to is Greece. I'd like to visit it because I think that it's a beautiful place to go on holidays to rest and enjoy the view. I remember that I knew about this country for a movie that I saw when I was a child and it was filmed in this place, and since that moment I'm in love with this place. What I know about this country it's that is a very touristic place, with a very interesting history behind it, with a lot of wars and events that allowed it consolidate as the country that is it now. That's one of the reasons why I want to go there and one of the first things that I want to do: learn and know more about it and know more about their culture, besides know all the most iconic places, although the pla...

Since 2017 (when I finished  school) I haven't practiced my English. I think that writing blogs this year has helped me so much to improve my knowledge and remember the words and the phrases that I had forgotten. I think that this activity helps a lot, because besides it works to practice more your english, it allows you to know more about your classmates and teacher, like knowing what  their favourite book, series, movie, etc is. Personally, I learn things best when I write about something specific, more than when I talk, and writing blogs all this semester I think has improved my abilities in english. Besides, learning to write correctly in english is the first step to start to talk in a good form in english. I remember that in school, I loved writing in english, because my teacher made us write in english a lot too. In the future I would like to continue with the blogs, but now with topics related to our carreer, Odontology, to start internalizing the words and ...
