Soccer

Hi guys

In this occasion, and taking advantage of Chile is in atmosphere of America´s Cup, and father’s day, I will talk about soccer.

I know than many people see soccer as a something negative because of the Fifa and his administrative disorder, and his corruption. Besides the cup, and many championship of this natures sometimes only serve to make invisible the social conflicts of a country or continent.

But today I won't talk of that part, I want talk about what soccer as a sport means to me.

Previously I said that I would use the theme of Father's day, This is because I didn't grow up with my biological father, in exchange I haved Three male figures throughout my life  who supplemented the parental role, acompanying to my mother and my grandmother during all stages of my life, They where my grandfather, my uncle, and my stepfather.

The name of my uncle is Claudio Vilches, he has always played soccer, and he love’s these sport, and is a fan of Colo.colo. When I was a little girl, he took me to stadium, and to my giant doll, and with my aunt say him play. Go to the stadium was something every sunday. And when he not playing, we watched the games on TV together.  Of course, when playing colo-colo was a festivity. 

That's why soccer is so important to me, because it represents the connection a person has with a dad, I have it with my uncle. As well as I share the passion for food with my grandfather, and word games with my stepfather.

I hope you have a nice weekend

Bye

A sad story

Hi guys
In this ocassion I talk about of my dead pets.
This is a long and old story, and very sad. I will start since year 1995.
When I was a baby, my mother bought me a pet, a black dog, it was very small and his hair was curly :') His name was Terry, and always taked care of me. I don't remember very well, I just remember how it looked.
The sad part of this story is that the neighbor killed the dog with poison :( and for nearly three years we didn't have pets, only hens roost back of the house :B
When I was a little girl (year 2000), I haved another mate, his name was Iriti, he was a little dog, his color was coffee with milk. :3 It was a very playful, and barking were small and sharp. I remember a lot of things with he, I remember us playing, or by feeding him <3 He is the pet to which I most wanted in my life and always I remember him with fondly.
The bad news is that the same neighbor poisoned Iriti .. I suffered a lot with his lost, and because of that my family decided not to give me a pet anymore.
In my house today have a dog name Platón, but almost never see for being here, in Stgo. I don't see it as a pet, or as a companion as they were the previous two.
I prefer see it only as a dog who loves chasing cyclists through the gate :)
The end ...

Strike

Hi class!

Well, in this occasion, I will talk about of the student strike by the university's happening.

For this, I will answer the central questions we have to answer.

Why is Facso (and a number of faculties at U Chile) on strike this time?

Facso, and a number of faculties at Universidad de Chile, on strike, for many reasons. Between them, education market, the precarious state of the university, or exessive repression and violence by government through police.

How do you participate in these strikes?

On one side, participate passively not going to class, or evaluations, and moreover, participate actively going to talks, go to activities, and contribute to discussions. 

I personally do not do that. I'm of region, and would rather spend time with my family during the strike. Because in the holidays I can not do it, because I will be in class.

What benefits do you think will be obtained?

On my opinion, do know there is a discontent on students, and in general education.

Although, I think if the affairs of the students don't jointly with workers, we not get anything.

From your experience, what are the drawbacks of these strikes?

In academic field, less time to field contents, and knowledge gaps for us. 

In social fields, I think the information is not good to many people, for this, the media manipulates and many people think the strikes are bad and harmful.

Can you think of other means that can contribute to obtain what you (students) are after?
I think, marches are not good, and they became a habit. I think needs to be done on a larger scale interventions.

Bye!
