My Academic Year

This year had been a new experience for family and for me. We had to face up all the new challenges and we had to get use to this new life`style. Everybody always told me that University was a different reality, that`s true, but thanks to my school I had not suffer to much with this big change. Finally, I am very grateful, I feel that I have grow up, and I had a very good year after all, because I had receive all my family`s support in every bad moment that I had to live this year, and every nice experience that I had live I had share with them...

The biggest change that I had to live, this year was the overburden classes. I usually started my day at 7:45, with the classes`beginning, and I left school at 1:45. But in my last year of school, I had to go to the "Preuniversitario", so I arrived to my home at 8:00, in the night; in this way I was use to be all day out of my house but in that time I had to study just for one test in the week, and it was not too much to study for, so I had time to rest; but now I have to study on weekends too, so I am really tired; in school I used to studied on the week and every weekend was free for me, for spent time with my family, especially with my little brother, Israel, now in every free time that I have I usually used it for sleeping.

But in the other hand, I had learn too many things, I feel that I have mature, I have new opinions and I am able to understand ideas that are differents of mine. And, of course, I have my parents support, I know they understand me, I now they do, they are so patient with me; they are always helping me with my studies; and in every goal that I want to reach.

Finally, like everything in the world, our lifes have a good part and a bad part, but in my opinion, we have to remember the good experiences. Maybe we can live terrible experiences, but we have to able to know how to overcome them. I had not live terrible experiences, but this year had been a difficult one, with new studies, new classmates, new relationship and new life, but now it`s finishing in a very good way, thanks God.
This had been a sacrifice`s year, but I have a lot of good experiencies, and I will keep them in main as the Mechones`year.

Our futures challenges...

Like I said before, my discipline is very complete, because we have too many fields, specially in health, social matters and education.

Obstetrics, how everyone knows, has to attendence births, so in that field we have to teach mothers about their diet, exercises and routine check up. I this days almost nobody is worry about what they eat, we have too many myths about pregnancy, like pregnant women have to eat for two people, wwhich is false, so we have to remove them, because it even can complicated their children birth. Everybody deserves a decent service, but we know that in our country the equal terms doesn´t exist, because everything is move by money; so we have to implement a good service for everyone. We have to be sure that the people that we are seeing lives in a good environment, because we know that anything wrong around them will influence, so we have to try to show concerned for their problems, and we have to try to help them to fix it.

And also, we have the social eduaction as duty: In other field, we have to educate people, men and women all of age. We have to know that everyboy can suffer an unwanted pregnancy or any type of sexual transmitted infections; and we are suitable to explain every method to avoid them.

Actually, I think that the health services are cold in the fiels of the personal interaction, that why people doesn´t like hospital, because we don´t good a warm welcoming. At the beginning of the year, one of our teachers said that like we study so may time, when we have to pay attention to human beings we just try them like a cell, tissue or organ, not as people, and that´s what we have to improve. Maybe, the only way to improve it, is with comunication: We have to know their necessities, just in that way we will improve our field, and maybe we can be a better professional, and also we will improve people´s health, in many ways.

When I will get out to the real world, I want to be a worthy professional, so I will try to take out everything wrong, and I will try to improve everything that is good, because we are a society, and I wan to live in a harmonious society, but for that, I have to start by me.
I think that any change is for good, but if you know how to manage it...

We have to be objective, before Transantiago, the buses were not a paradise: We did not have a bus stop, and many times they didn´t stop wwhere we ask to. They didn´t stop to students either, because in that time, we didn´t have to pay the ticket; and also, pay to bus driver while he was driving was very dangerous. But I have to say that the buses covered more area and the travels were most fast and frequency.

And now, after Transantiago, we don´t hear news about armed robbery, to bus driver, because they don´t manage the money now, and I think the covered area is good, it´s all too much organized, not at the beginning, but it had improve. But, the frequency of travels is reduce.

My experience in Transantiago, is not a wonder, because at the beginning I usually was waiting for the bus an hour, and it was always full of people, so I hated it; and routes for my county was very poor, so I didn´t like it at all. Now, when Transantiago had been working for 3 years, I really don´t hate it like before: I have 5 routes now and the frecuency of the travel is not slow as before.

In my opinion, any change needs time, and help of everybody, because we have to remember that at the beginning of the use of Transantiago people didn´t pay the ticket, it´s still happening now; so, how can we ask for a good function if we didn´t help to, nothing is free. This project will improve in the time...

Like everything in my family, my parents support me, because I am studing and I have to focus in that, they do not want to overburden me with duties...

My parents give me a monthly allowance, and I think I am very organized whit it, because when I need some money I have mine, and I do not have borrow them, I really do not like to.

But when I need money, and I had spend every saving, I usually borrow to my brother, he is a really "bussiness man", I really don`t know how he always had money for everything. But I have to be able pay him back quickly, because he charged me about 1 dollar for week, that`s how he does his little fortune.

By other way, I am always lending money to my dad, but he never remember that he has to pay me back, so I really do not like to lend him my money.

I know that I am not good with money, not at all. This is something that I am dread of, and if I can give this duty to anyone else I will do it.

What about the bills? I have to be honest, my parents pay all our bills, because, even if I want to work they do not accept it, so I can`t. They always say me: Till you live in our house you do not need to work.

But, if we start to think about everybody in our society, in my opinion we must help people to manage their money, if we want to grow up as a country. I think this is a Chile`s responsibilty. For example: if Perez`s family don`t know how to manage money in a good way, how will do it their children? That`s why people who really know how to manage it must help who do not know.

Finally, I have to say that my parents use banks to save our money, they think that this is a very save place. I think they are happy with this bank, because they are always receiving their account status, and it`s everything very organized.

What is wrong with us?

Well, I have to be honest, I like my faculty, I think it`s one of the best in our country.
Why can I say so? Because we hav the best library, it`s confortable, big and very nice,. we always can find everything that we need, and also the people who works is always helping us with our troubles. And, all the personal who have to be in contact with us have very kind, and they always have a very good willingness.
But I have to say: nothing is perfect., and in this place we can find some defects, such as:Toilets are in very bad conditions, in my opinion; in the last time, the personal in charge have improved a little of it, but in the most cases we can closed very well doors, so it is a very but situation for us. And in some places everthing is a shambles, for example, the roof near of Salud Pùblico is broken, and thins like that. And, my friend`s sister, who is studing medicine told me that when she had classes in the hospital, every0hing is disaster because they don`t have good chairs and tables, it`s like nobody tale care of it; a very similar situation we can find in this faculty, we have some auditoriums with a very poor infrastructure, they are uncomfortable in classes and in exams. By the way, I don`t like my schedule, because we don`t have time enought to study, even we don`t have time for resting, and that`s not fair.
To improve these situations I will give work to more people who can help to keep everything fine, and also, I will ask for student`s help, to try keep order in the faculty, because everyone lives here, and everybody has to take care of it. But, what can we do with our infrastructure?, I really can`t find a solutions for this, because we need money, and we don`t have it.
