Blog 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
My experience began with the English exam when I enrolled in the university just before the pandemic began, not having a high level of English did not allow me to skip the later levels, and due to this online context I have not been able to avoid that it has been Simpler than I expected, this context may have been very different in the face-to-face environment but his light style on the subject of academic load seemed quite good and relieving. Regarding the blogs, being sincere at first they were quite simple talking about general or personal issues, however, this time due to the extraordinary situations and the excessive load that I had in other matters they forced me to stay awake by doing 6 blogs in less than 2 days (sleep is overrated)   Speaking of my level of English, I feel that I continue to have the same initial problems, although less marked, being this being able to understand what they speak to me, they do not always speak so quickly but I still have my nerves when ...

Blog 7: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Imagen
  When I think about the changes that I can make to the program of my career, the first thing that comes to mind is the great inflexibility in the schedules that we currently have, with respect to this school schedules from my point of view are quite severe and rigid, with a regular schedule that starts from 9 a.m. M. and ends around 6 p.m. M., Not counting the time spent in electives and workshops within the faculty. giving as an example other careers where the schedules become the most flexible to the point of having the option of having classes at night, so I recommend it if you need flexibility for work or other activities. In the subject that most persecutes students is failing a branch, from my vision I see it quite exaggerated or extreme to deliver 1 full year in the recovery of a mere subject with a poor grade.   I am not at all ignorant of the situation in which these actions are carried out, which is quite complicated. The small number of professors practicing in...

Blog 6: Time travel to the future

Imagen
Curious question ... what time in the future would I like to go? From my point of view I don't like that kind of question very much because when we talk about the future we have a positive perspective of tomorrow but it generates an uncertainty that it is not what we all hope, giving a bit of uncertainty that it could be changed to improve that future or if changing something could make it worse. But to continue with this blog, I would like to travel 20 years in the future to know about the progress of the world and although this topic generates more uncertainty my future as a person already 40 years old, but in the first case I would like to observe how Everything has changed in my hometown Santiago and also on the planet throughout these 20 years that I have progressed, and observing the changes that they have suffered either in the political, social, environmental and climate issues, in addition to seeing how I am doing. Yes I am happy, yes I am married but I would be sad to kno...

Blog 5: My future job

Imagen
 When they ask me to talk about my future job after finishing university, I personally have not imagined in a concrete way the type of job I would like to have in the near future. Using a little imagination I would have a vague vision with which I imagine the future, this would be a job where I would constantly participate in the open air, traveling through the country and outside it through the different forest ecosystems and conducting research within the area of ​​the sciences in nature, working on their conservation or studying about new discoveries of animal or arboreal species. Nature has always caught my attention and I have always wanted to know about it, so I feel that it would not be silly to specialize in the aforementioned, because of this taste I opted for those hypothetical works. If we talk about the monetary issue, money is not something that feels such a priority as long as I have enough to be able to live peacefully if I am working on something that I like, but ...

Blog 4: Free theme: Forestry Engineering

Imagen
On this occasion I will tell you about my current profession (or what is probably my profession) Forestry Engineering. I do not know how it starts because there are many things to talk about, among them are the positive aspects and benefits of being a forest engineer as one who works in a field plagued with varied vegetation and different species of trees in general or perform analyzes or experiments in laboratories. First of all, we know that in the world, the risk of the loss of our resources and the risk of permanent loss of both animal and plant species, this as a result of an unsustainable use of these resources of our planet, which is affecting us all . And that is why becoming a competent forest engineer would bring enormous benefits, both for me but also for everyone, since I was able to work to protect and make areas with their biodiversity at risk prosper by regulating the use of forest resources, contributing to their conservation if possible in different areas of the countr...

Blog 3: My best vacations

Imagen
  My best vacations were made 9 years ago in 2012, I do not remember the exact date but I do remember that we traveled in mid-January when I was 10 years old, we went with my family, which at that time consisted of my mother, father and My younger sister to the southern sector of Chile, Temuco about 2 weeks, we stayed in a cabin that a friend of my grandparents had next to a huge, incredibly pleasant lake, they made us want to swim all day, surrounded by a leafy forest at each end of the house and across the road in a high humidity environment. I consider these my best vacations because it was in that instance of 2 weeks surrounded by nothing but nature I was able to fall in love with it and that it will guide my steps to follow and my learning until I find myself in the present with the university degree of forestry engineer learning more about it. the nature that captivated me as a child.

Blog 2: The country that I would like to visit

Imagen
  Actually the action of traveling to other countries I have not mentalized in such a concrete way, but if I had one in specific it would be Japan because it is the driver of my tastes, my smiles and entertainment since I was a child, I know about your country as well as your culture some data of its achievements or its historical events but I do not know its long history as a nation, being there I would like first of all to take a tour of all the culturally important places or that appeal to my curiosity such as restaurants or local shops.   A choice as important as staying to live in a country is quite complicated that I do not rule out because it would depend on my situation and my sentimental state, on the other hand if it were to work there or that my job allowed me to travel to that country like others in the rest I would consider it a great experience to learn a little about the world.

Blog 1: The subject that I liked to study

Imagen
  Hello to all the people who watch this blog, to be really honest when they ask me about a subject that I liked study from my point of view it is complex because due to the extraordinary situation in which we live where the experience that we all obtained with The classes are different from the one that several students have received before us but if I were to choose a subject that I liked, it would be among the topics seen in the climatology and ecology classes but more about climatology when seeing the different types of climates and the variations of concepts such as temperature, humidity, among others have been changing over time and these affect the ecosystem of several countries making them a totally different world allowing or denying the development of different species that can only be seen in places with the conditions appropriate what for me it is necessary to understand it to be able to understand the behavior of an ecosystem being at any moment of n our career,  ...

The person I admired

Imagen
  When they ask you who you admire, several of them could talk about people who have made significant changes in our world, but when they ask me who I admire, the first person that comes to mind is my mother, born in 1978 in Maipú. a condition of thyroid problems which did not allow her to have all the energy or spirit that a person can have regularly, she currently works as a social worker in the sename, married and with 3 children, she lives with her work and cares about the young people with family problems seeking their well-being, outside the work environment she always worries about being present at home and giving her time to give care and love to her children regardless of their medical condition that may or may not overcome it but is always willing to care and worry about his family, that's why I admire this person for his tireless perseverance.

How can your mayor make the world a better place?

Hello all the people who see this blog. My career, Forest Engineering from my personal point of view affects the world by caring for and protecting the flora, fauna and the environment throughout our planet and if not, it would irreversibly harm the planet by risking all the life in it,     I see myself being part of the hard work that environmental protection entails, perhaps not at a level as broad as a global one but doing my part as a professional in my specialty to protect the forest heritage within my country and if the situation is internationally in several countries,   My specialty from my opinion contributes to the benefit of the world since having people concerned and dedicated to the maintenance, protection and care of environmental resources greatly ensures a safe and prosperous future for the next generations in the not too distant future.   Thank you for reading :3

A Photo Full of Opportunities

Imagen
  Hello people who look at this blog, use this photo with the meaning that it is part of the last activity I was able to do with a group of friends that was really meaningful to me (And because I only have photos of this outing on my new cell phone jeje), This image matters to me because in addition to being a great experience to be able to live with my race colleagues that I have not seen due to the pandemic that is currently happening, this meeting with my colleagues had a more important purpose than a simple departure of friends. To be honest, I really don't remember the exact date of when we took this photo but it was during a pandemic that you can see our use of masks. In the commune of La Florida, we met with the objective of conducting a test field trip in order to have experience and support to be able to carry out field trips for the students of the race who, due to the pandemic condition, were denied that experience, This consists of an extensive walk of around 20 kilom...

My Favorite Food

Imagen
Hello everyone who watches this blog, my favorite food was hard to choose because I don't really hate any food, but this time I will choose empanada as my favorite food.   The empanada is a Chilean national food, it contains mostly minced and seasoned meat, onion, egg and olives all inside the baked dough giving it a generally soft texture and with an unequaled flavor. I like this food not only for its flavor, but the feeling of the same as always eating them at festivals or events to celebrate always giving me good spirits knowing that I will eat that food, talk about how it will affect my health personally I do not know how it would affect my health but I have always believed that a lot of something will always be bad so the amounts of seasoned meat or excess dough is very likely to harm my health one or the other shape

My Favorite Piece of Technology

Hello to all the people who look at this blog! I really do not consider myself an expert in technology but choosing my favorite piece of technology is currently my notebook, I choose this object because in these times of pandemic it has become an indispensable device to be able to survive in my university life and my way of communicating to live with other people, I use my notebook to attend and carry out my activities at university, talk with my friends or see them on video calls and satisfy my boredom surfing the internet or playing a video game, even though it has affected my life by making it mandatory to be in front of it For hours in online classes, I totally recommend having a notebook because regardless of the current isolation situation, this object becomes indispensable for many people in their personal or professional life

My Old Dreams and my New Aspirations

Imagen
They are really quite blurred memories but I remember dreaming of being a doctor when I was a child, always when I played with my friends I pretended to be that profession, although some time later I realized that I did not have much vocation to be a doctor.   When the time came to choose career options in addition to forestry engineering at the University of Chile as the first option, I also tried to try as a second option, Renewable Natural Resources Engineering at the same university and the third option, environmental engineering at the Santiago de Chile University (USACH), after being accepted in the first and second options, I decided on Forest Engineering due to a greater interest in what the degree consisted of. My current career experience I cannot describe as really good because I have not fully experienced university life and all the benefits of the career but from what I have seen today it seems like a very interesting and promising career. At the end of my degree, ...
