Chile and the "education how a right"

Today I’m going to talk you about my opinion of chilean education.
Well, I’m studying for “Playgroup assistant and elementary teaching”, the unique career of education in the Universidad de Chile, and one of my powerful reasons to study education, is because I think that in Chile, the education is an awful reality. I think that the school education must be a right and a obligation for all children in our country and around the world, and the higher education must be a right for all people that want it, without that this important opportunity depends of the salary, the social class, the place where you live, the culture you come from, the color of your skin, your race, or a lot of other factors that today the people discriminate.
In Chile, the education is only a profit and a business, with which the private company makes rich and earn a lot of money; and the government only still the inequality, injustice and not give to the people, the opportunity for the progress.
Really, the public education is very very bad compare with private education. Boys and Girls that studied in private schools can come to University without make a previous preparation and if they need this, they all can pay it; whereas in the state education, children and young people a lot of times have to work for help their families, in the same time they have to study in the school, and all them if they want to have a higher education, they have work again for pay a technical career in a institute, or some cheap private university or work more time to pay a previous preparation for the PSU and then continue working for pay a god career in a state university where is very difficult to enter.
The biggest problem of education is that only the rich people can receive this in the good way, and the poor people and the mid class have to resign with the bad education for their children and accept that they don’t have the opportunity for improve and have a best and decent salary, and our work is that we turns up an excellent professionals of education and in 4 o 5 years more, we work in public schools or state kinder-gardens, for improve the education and give this right for all the children and people that never have the possibility to study in a good and joust way.
About my education, I think this wasn’t good but this could be worse, but I was lucky because I could prepare my PSU, but I want that in the future this previous preparation will be not necessary and all young people have the possibility to enter in the University if they want, and they can study a career for their real vocation.
I don’t know a lot about the education projects and proposes yet, and I don’t know if this exist now, but I have all prospects that the work that me and all my classmates will make in the future, change a lot the life of the people who need us and the society.

"Fall in love with the most romantic and tragic realistic film in the History; TITANIC"

Really I can say that never in my life I saw a better movie than “Titanic” produced and directed by James Cameron. It’s true that some movies how are “What dreams may come”, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Notebook and some others are very good films and are other of my favorites movies; but Titanic is for me, unique.
The first time that I saw this movie was in February 1998, when this film just was in the Chilean Cinema. In this time I was eight years old and my parents invited me to see this movie. I can remember that this was an exciting experience, because this was the first time that I saw a film not for children.
Well, I remember too, that during the film I cry a lot in the scene where Jack Dawson (Leonardo Dicaprio) died in the cold sea, because I’m very sensitive and I felt sadness. The true is that I love this film, I can see Titanic a million of times and never this turns boring for me. I think that Titanic is the most wonderful romantic story and also, is one of the most realistic films existing, and not only about the special effects, as well the history, the scenes, the performance of the characters, etc. And the most exciting thing of the film are the tension moment how are when the ship is sinking, or when Rose (Kate Winslet) and Jack escaped of the Rose’s family into the ship, and when the vigilant sailors see the iceberg in front of the ship and all the people start to exasperated.
Clearly I can’t explain “What makes it better than other movies”, but if you want to know that, you only have to see this film. Definitely it’s the best movie in the history and if you don’t see yet, you are missing a great experience and you future favorite film.



The End

Earthquake Activity

On February 27th I was lonely in my house because all my family went to vacations in the south side of Chile, at Puerto Montt. In the evening, my boyfriend came to my house for stayed with me.

In the night we were watching the television together. Some minutes after the finishing of “Festival de Viña”, I put on the DVD the Titanic movie; then I went to the bathroom and when I was opening the door, the earthquake started.

I was very nervous and scared. I’m only wanted to escape, and I just shouted. My boyfriend came to me and he said me “sit down, is only an earth tremor”, but I was very nervous and I took his hand and we ran out to the house. When we arrived outside, we stayed with my boyfriend and some neighbors until 6:00 AM. at the street. That was a horrible moment, my legs was shaking about the fear that I was feeling. I couldn’t believe that this was real, because I only saw in movies or television. And, I was so worried about my family, because I knew that my mother was thinking that I was bad and I couldn’t call her.

When the earthquake stopped, we entered to the house for get a lantern, but this was very difficult because there was very dark. Then we took it and we stayed all the night seated in the kitchen chairs. The woman with her two children that lives in front of my house was very very scared and she went to my house all the time for not stayed alone.

That night I couldn’t sleep anything and the next day in the morning, with my boyfriend took the minibus to his house and we stayed together all the day and in the night I went to my aunt’s house, and I stayed in her house all the week until my family could come back to Santiago on Thursday, 6 days after the earthquake.

The last year I’m learning some of english on “English 2 Course” with Belen Farias how our teacher. I like very much my career, but more than the subjects; I love the Practice Time, because I love so much the little children and I think that the best thing in the world is that you can see their growth and learning process.
