English Language Challenges...

Hi again!

Probably this is my last post of this season hahaha so I would like to talk a little about my experience in this course of English. 

Last semester was a challenge, not learning something face to face costs me a lot personally, I think I learn better in direct interaction with a teacher and my classmates, then this semester I could notice many changes.

In first place, I think that this semester I strengthened a few areas more than others, for example: I improved my hearing comprehension compared the last year, maybe the listening exercises in class helped me in this ability. Also always see series or movies in English, I guess this way I also practice.

Although the writing exercises can be difficult to me, the blogs are an excellent tool to practice and progress, I mean, I'm writing right now, its ironic haha I would make some friends from another country to practice, we can exchange messages. 

When it comes to speaking fear paralyzes me, many times my brain knows that what supposed to say but my mouth doesn't help, in fact there are moments where my brain invents strange words that obviously doesn't exist but they sound great in my mind. Maybe I could talk more
with my imaginary friend in english to practice haha

I would like to be able to dare to talk more and not get nervous as I always do, 

According to me I should have a very fluent English, obviously I am playing, but I usually sing in English, learn dialogues of series in English, learn tiktoks in English haha I used to have a good English base, but not keeping learning or practicing it I guess I lost it, it's sad.

I think that's what I have to say so Bye <3

Changes to my study program

Hello, 

I hope you have not forgotten about me ha In this post I want to talk a little about the B side, the other side of the coin or whatever you want to call it "less cute" of something, in this case it's about my career and my university. As you know I am studying Early Childhood Education at University of Chile and despite the fact that this university has a lot of prestige there are things that are not to my liking or there are things that I would change about it.

In terms of infrastructure if you compare the Faculty of Social Sciences, which is where I study, with... I don't know, for example: the faculty of Mathematics, is a catastrophic difference, I mean... classrooms, libraries, casinos, bathrooms, auditoriums, computers, offices, green areas, recreation or rest (these last three almost do not exist within the entire campus, not only the faculty) and it does seem relevant to me that the fees are so high and the conditions so precarious, and not only for us, but also for officials.

Another thing that could change would perhaps be  the focus that the career itself has within the university, I believe that while we as kindergarten educators are "destined" to work within a classroom, I believe that our field of work is very broad, there are many other areas in which we can develop, but I think it is not given enough space for exploration to make a decision regarding our professional future, it is just a brushstroke of the other opportunities we have, others that are not schools.

That's what comes to mind for now, if I have another complaint, I'll leave it down hahaj no, I'm just kidding. 

I hope you are well, I send you a hug!

Post-Graduate Studies

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good week... 

I'm back here with a new post. Remember that previously I told you about my dream work, well this blog is related to that, because in order to get my dream job I must also specialize in certain areas. In my case I want some postgraduate study related to neuroscience or psychomotricity. I have found out and in Spain, at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, I would really like to study there, I think it is a great opportunity to grow and also have the opportunity to know that culture. maybe you apply for government scholarships to be able to study there because the truth is very expensive, but it will certainly be worth the effort.

I think that as professionals it is very important that we are constantly studying and growing, as education is always changing. And we as teachers have the task of being better for our students, that's also why I want to do graduate studies, I think it's very important.

Study and specialize in this area a little scientific (after finishing my current career of course.. Early Childhood Education) it would be the perfect time to combine my favorite subjects... biology and language, well, more than just language, it could be all humanistic subjects.

I think that's all I have to tell you today.

I hope you were interested. have a good week and stay warm. <3

My dream job

Hello everyone,

I want you to know a little more about me, so I will tell you about my dream job... well what I want so far.

I am lucky to be studying what I like, Kindergarten education, and it has a lot to do with the work of my dreams... I want to educate children, help them, teach them and give them all the tools that are at my disposal so that they can get ahead but not only do it inside a classroom, I would like to work in a hospital specifically, or also in the Telethon, I think that's the approach I want for my work.

Since I have always visualized myself working with children who often do not have all the attention of the educational system, I imagine doing much more personalized classes, being able to work together with the child and build their education together. Although it is very ideal, very dreamy of me to believe that one day there will be an educational system to help, protect and teach children who have some kind of disability or illness in such a personalized, individual way. 

For this I would need a lot of money for material and research, also have a lot of time for each. Although if we think about it, at least here in Chile to spend a lot of time only a child would not "work" for the system, they want effectiveness and speed. So if I work less or with fewer children, it's less money for me. Probably along with the money I also need a team to help me carry out the projects... a team. I must also speculate perhaps in some profession in the health area to be able to do my job better, I want to get all the skills and tools possible to make it work. 

And I can't lie and say that money is not something important because I support myself thanks to the salary I receive, thanks to money I can have a roof over my head, food to eat and clothes to wear... it is not that I need much, but I am sure if I do what I dream, I will not be remunerated monetarily as I would like, they would not value enough the work done. 

For me it is essential that children, at least up to the age of 6, must have a good educational foundation, regardless of the condition in which they find themselves. While there is a program that accompanies children who miss classes because they are in therapy or because they are hospitalized or any similar reason. I think it hasn't been as effective for them to then return to the "normal" education system or they just aren't given all the necessary knowledge for this stage.

I think it inspires me a little writing, but hey, that's what it's about, right? to always be inspired and try to achieve dreams. I will leave some images so that they understand and visualize my idea better 

I hope you are well, take care of yourself, xoxo <3

The best holidays ever!

Hello, i hope your day is going well... Today i will tell a little about my summer of 2019. It was by far the best vacation my life! maybe because they are the last ones that I could really enjoy, you know, because of the covid and the social explosion in Chile everything was complicated.

Well, here i go... my first trip was to the beach with my group of friends back then, we stayed for a week... ate, laughed and went out, all in excess!

Then i travel to the south of Chile with my grandma and i met many cities, on that trip i went by boat, i met waterfalls, i bathed in lakes and i knew much more about the southern culture.

I went back to Santiago, which is where I live, for "weekend getaways" with my friends or my family to tourist places, we tried new foods and entertaining activities. 

In the middle of summer i went back south again! but this time with my mom, we also toured many places and always bought ice cream wherever we went.

I also went to Lake Rapel, there i drove a boat, paddled a kayak and enjoyed the tranquility that there was.

For the rest of the summer I was lucky enough to have small trips to the beach, by the way, I love the craft fairs there!

And that's it, definitely the best summer, I ate a lot, met and was with my favorite people!

I hope it wasn't boring, goodbye... a kiss!

 

A country I would like to visit...

Hi everyone, I'm Joaquina

I hope you going well... today I want to tell you a little thing about me... I'm obessed with travel, I mean, I love the landscapes, culture, food and people around the world, but the ironic is that I have never travel outside the country. Anyways, recently I have imagine in a adventure... I want to go Italy! probably you say: "ohhh, it's so obvious", but I like it. Italy is a country with thousands of years of history and honestly history is something I am passionate about. Their language has transcended culturally and by the way it is very romantic, italian is a bit sensual jajaja If I would to say a few thing that a I know about Italy, maybe the first thing would be that it is very curious that it has the shape of a boot, it is also amazing that its border borders six countries. I would very much like to study there, learn to cook, learn the language, visit its fields, the oldest cities and the hundreds of beautiful landscapes. Idk... I think that with everything I have imagined I could stay there forever jajaj but I must get off the cloud of imagination, I just wanted to tell you.

That it's for today, take care for yourself. <3
