Blog 3 - Religion

 Hi guys, today I will talk about religion. 

For me since I was little I have been close to religion, specifically the Catholic religion. Since all my maternal family is very believing and since I can remember we went to Masses on Sundays. Also, like all my cousins, I went to a Catholic school. So you can understand that I have been quite close to this religion. But since about 13-14 years I stopped believing in this religion and I moved away from all customs and beliefs. Even so, I was in the Catholic school until I finished my teaching. As a person close to religion, I can say that it has its pros and cons. Personally, I don't believe in any god and I don't find much logic in this thought, but I think that people sometimes need to hold onto something in order to be motivated or to find meaning in their lives. And on that side I think that religion is something positive for the human being and the understanding of life. However, I think that like everything in life, religion must evolve with the mentality of the human being and that is something that is avoided a lot in different religions of the world. Traditions and customs are sacred and therefore it is very difficult to change or question them, but it is something that must be done in order to evolve as a society.

So thats the blog for today, I hope you stay safe, and I'll see you in the next one!

 Hi guys, today I will talk about the Healthcare System and Mental Health in Chile. As a Chilean society we are used to paying for everything and above all having to pay for things that should be a minimum right of each individual, such as education and health, among others. In Chile there is a huge difference between the public and private health systems, and I think that this should not be the case, the government should guarantee a free quality health system that meets the minimum needs of the people. In addition to the lack of support from the state for covering a large part of physical illnesses, there is a lack of policies and programs corresponding to mental health. It is proven that in Chile a very low percentage of the health budget is allocated to mental health (about 5%) and this is something that is not consistent with the number of cases of people suffering from a mental illness. Therefore, it is very important that the Chilean government can take charge of the public ...

Blog 4 - Education

 Hi everyone, today I will talk about vocational choice, my own experience and advice that I think might be helpful. Well, to be honest, I had a hard time choosing the career I wanted to study, especially because my option when I graduated was just studying at the university. I say this because I believe that there are more things that can be done in life besides studying and having a degree, but I will talk about this later. Since I was very little I have gone through many career and profession options, but the one that always was a possibility, was veterinarian, because I always loved animals and also I planned to have my own farm or animal hotel. Other professions, that were a possibility at one point, were being a visual artist and an actress. Then, when I grew up, my career options were three. Design, theater and architecture. The first that I discarded was theater, because I didn't feel very connected to the career and in a country like Chile, live from art, it's very dif...
