My experience…

During this year I learn mucho about english, in general my experience learning english in the university it’s good, I coursed english II , english III and english IV and during these courses I learned about pronunciation, redaction, reading comprehension and uses of english in daily context. I think the method for teach english in the university are good because using more didactic methods how blogs, video-blogs, and others activities (planning a trip or measuring the carbon footprint, for example).

About blogs... I think are very good activities because it allows to get better redaction, reading comprehension, and use english in a context more “real” because I use words and expressions more commons and it’s really fun because I wrote about my hobbies, things I like and my opinion about different topics and read about these things in the blogs of classmates.

But in spite of all this there are still things that I have to improve on as pronunciation and listening, this areas are so difficult to me, but my plan to improve are watch movies and series in english with english subs and later without subs, listen music and try to write the lyrics and compare with the real lyrics, also I would like speak with a english native speaker.

Outside English class I use English for study because I read blogs or books in English because the it’s more easily find the answer to my questions, other use of English in my day to day is for video games, because much video games not have a translation to Spanish and I use my knowledge of English for understand the dialogues or quest and in online games I use English for communicate with other players because English it’s a “universal” language and much international players understand English. 

And that's it, this is my last blog, thanks for reading and goodbye!!!

Changes to my study programme

I have talked about the career I study on multiple occasions, but in this time I will talk about of many things what should change in the career and the university (in my opinion… obviously).

The first thing that needs some changes is the career program because there are some problems with this, for example, during the first, second and third semester it is necessary to take 8 CFG in total, in my opinion it is too much because in the faculty there is not much CFG and it is complicated to create a schedule that allows you to study, relax, hobbies and sleep the necessary hours, and other problem with the program is what some subjects it’s related and you need take these in simultaneous, generating doubts and problems, how during the third semester in where you need take organic chemistry I and laboratory of chemistry organic. The workload it’s high and in my opinion the faculty should declare two weeks for tests A and during these weeks could not have controls or lab reports, this measure would improve performance and mental health of students.

In the faculty exist few spaces for study, lunch and relax and it’s necessary change this because there are students who need a better place to study than their house and the faculty does not turn out to be this place for the lack of spaces, the technology in this faculty it’s in a middle point because there are advanced equipment for analysis but other equipment it’s too old and obsolete.

The last point is the teaching methods; at this point I do not have a definite opinion because I have learned from teachers with excellent methods and others with not so good methods.

In my opinion...

This is my blog and I think it’s important that you know my opinion about different themes, for this reason I will talk about three relevant topics, let’s start:

About recycling…

I think recycling it’s very important for the preservation of environment, it’s important to generate less garbage that could affect it, today plastics and others not degradable products pollute the sea and harm marine wildlife, for these reasons each person should recycle at home.

About Immigration…

I think that immigration could be more regulated, but that does not mean that immigrants are left out but that better measures are established for their arrival because today there is a lot of immigrants who arrive and end up living in precarious condition. We must remember that immigration is an engine of the economy and not something that negatively affects the economy as many people say.

About the legalization of abortion in the 3 cases…

I think the abortion in the 3 cases its ok but I think its necessary expand to all cases, I think the abortion it’s a important measure for natality control, public health and mental health, it’s a very bad option obligate to have a baby a woman who does not want.

About climate change…

I think it's a very serious issue because climate change is a real problem for the world (although some people say it does not exist like Donald Trump) and it’s important that us start do something for “repair” our world, if us does not do something, all life in the planet is in danger.

I apologize if there is a grammatical error and what I wrote is misinterpreted 😰

Postgraduate studies

In the secondary school I loved science, I participated at science fairs, talks, contest (chemistry Olympics games for example), etc. so I decided to study any career of science in the future, I investigated about different science career, for this reason I study biochemistry because I wanted to contribute in the investigation of different diseases, for study diseases it’s not necessary a Ph.D. or 

master because I will work in a laboratory with the biochemist grade, but if I want to be principal investigator of the lab I need a Ph.D., in my case I want study a biochemistry Ph.D in immunology because it’s area is very interesting for me and my goals, reading the program called my attention the subject called “ biología molecular y genómica avanzada”, I think what this subject it’s very useful in immunology area and I like study PhD in Chile but with a semester abroad, how I will study PhD after biochemist grade I think the better system for me it’s a part-time course because it allows me work and study in parallel. 

But, during this year called my attention the biochemistry masters specially three, “environmental biochemistry”, “clinic biochemistry” and “toxicological biochemistry and molecular diagnosis”, these master's degrees are taught in the faculty where I study and give me a possibility to take the master in parallel with my professional degree and different scholarship. 

that is all!! Thanks for read my blog ;)

My future Job

During my life I liked many jobs, as a child I wanted to be a firefighter to help people, a veterinarian to cure and save animals or a doctor to help people with their diseases, but for the next few years I thought and changed my preferences

During school I liked mathematics and science, for this reason I wanted to be an engineer to design robots, computers or rockets to space, I also wanted to be a teacher because I liked to help my friends with their academic problems (in science and mathematics). In high school I liked more science, especially chemistry and biology, I participated in different science fairs, activities with teachers and activities in universities, for this reason I liked the career of researcher. Another thing that was important to me are the trips in my work, and the research career will allow me to travel to science congresses or visit other universities with my research.

I believe that the salary is important, but in sciences the salary is not the best, even so, I believe that if I can live well there is no problem. I would like to work outside, but laboratory work is inside most of the time, but it is not a problem either because I like laboratories and work on them.

I study biochemistry and I would like to do a specialization in "immunology", because this area interests me.

That is all, and I will hope you like your future job.

Stem cells

During my life I was interested in micro world, I liked to learn about cell, virus, etc. and I wanted a microscope, when I started High school I interested more in cell biology and immune system, Between everything I learned there was something that caught my attention and this was the Stem cells.

Stem cells are a very special type of cells, because have the capacity to transform in any specialized cell of organism, exist various types of stem cells how:

Totipotent stem cells: can differentiate into embryonic and extraembryonic cell types. Such cells can construct a complete, viable organism. These cells are produced from the fusion of an egg and sperm cell.

Dolly sheep

Pluripotent stem cells: are the descendants of totipotent cells and can differentiate into nearly all cells, i.e., cells derived from any of the three germ layers (Endoderm, Mesoderm, and Ectoderm).

Multipotent stem cells: can differentiate into a number of cell types, but only those of a closely related family of cells.

The use of stem cells is very diverse, it is used in research (mainly), cosmetics and as cancer treatment, for these reasons stem cells are very good for Humans. In my career stem cells are used for research.but not everything is good around stem cells, work with stem cells is very difficult because stem cells are difficult to control, may react badly with the patient's immune system and some people may be against and not support the research.



Stem cells have not been out of the controversy, much groups pro-life are against, and during much years the research with stem cells was very controversial, especially during the years of life of Dolly Sheep because this sheep was a first clone of the world born thanks to stem cells, but today the research and use of Stem cells are more common and not so controversial.

My pets.

In this blog I am going to talk about of all my pets in my life.

My first pet in my life was a little brown female dog named “Ceci”, Ceci arrived one day with my father, he founds she in the street outside of his work, she lived with us during two years until she was hit by a car L, this accident caused him many hurts and my family decided sacrifice her, this make me very sad.

During some years I don’t had other pet because I was still sad for Ceci, but when I was 7 years my father came with two puppies “bobby” and “Mimi”, Bobby stay in my home and Mimi stay with my grandmother, Bobby lived with me until I was 10 years and my family move to Rancagua, for this reason bobby stay with my grandmother and his sister Mimi.

In Rancagua I adopted two dogs “Toby” a beagle puppy in 2012 and “Cleo” a  German Shepherd puppy in 2016, and I lives with them untill today.

During My life I adopted only dogs because my father and mother don’t like cats, but I love cats and someday I will adopt one.

I love cleo and toby because them make me happy and are very playful, they loves go to run in the park and visit my grandmother.

I only have a photo of toby :( , other photos were in my oldest phone.
