My ideal job

My ideal job it’s nothing related with this major. I would like to be teacher in a school and maybe in the University. The difference between these two establishment are the age of the students and the topic of study. With the kids the relevance of the teacher will be not just about the subjects like history or mats that he could explain. The other part will be the education and formation of the children on the other areas of his world. For example the communication with his friends, the emotional intelligent that he shows on the adverse moments, etc. This kind of education is the area of my interest. The educator must have a lot of knowledge and patience. Another skill, and the most important, is the vocation of the teacher to teach. Maybe it sounds funny or obvious, but the relevance of this is that the teacher has the power to impact on a good or bad way the life of the children. If the teacher don’t have vocation to teach, his frustration by working on something that he don’t like will be trespass to the child. Finally, the difficulty of the teacher is not to find a job, it is bee a good teacher.

The Scream


Edvard Munch was a Norwegian Symbolist painter, printmaker and an important man of expressionistic art. His best-known composition, The Scream is part of a series The Frieze of Life, in which Munch explored the themes of life, love, fear, death, and melancholy. The first time I saw it was in the school. I was on Art class and we where studying the expressionistic art. I felt like all my pain and fears was on that painting. The red sky, a bloody sky, and the expression of the man on front that shows fear and angus. Maybe the picture is more like a reflection of the souls of the people who are looking at it. I don’t know how, but this painting of suffer gave me peace. I think that maybe the brushwork ate the fear that I have, and at that moment I felt peaceful. I think that you guys will have another thought about this, what do you think?

Do School kill creativity

This video show us Mr. Sir Ken Robinson talking about the topic “Do Schools kill creativity”. At the beginning he spoke about the relevance of the creativity. The creativity on children are equal and has a big potential, but the education kill this awesome creativity on children’s. The reason is simple, the education system give us the fear of been wrong when we are trying to do something new. “Because if you are not prepare to be wrong, you will never came with something original” said Mr. Sir Ken Robinson about this idea. Picasso said “All children are born artist, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up”. Around the world, the education system has a hierarchy of topics. First are mathematics and languages, then humanity and in the end arts. The education system create our vision of the word and what it supposed to be the most important thing for our life. On this case, the most important is the academic ability, leaving art outside. The human mind is versatile and the education system is aborting an important part of us. Maybe on the future things will be different, but we can do something right now, and that is look as equal the different kind of knowledge(art, mats, physic, etc)

The character that I admire


It was difficult to me choose only one person related to my major area, it took me a few minutes to choose only one.
My choice was Diego Portales. He was born in 1793 and died in 1837. He was a Minister on the government between 1830 and 1837 in different charges. He was the person who bring back the order to the Republic, because before him Chile was plunged in Anarchism an the administration of the State was trembling. He established the ideal State and who supposed to be the leaders. The State must be strong and with all it powers centralized. The leaders must be an example of virtues and patriotism, because with this the nation will follow a clear road to the supreme goal, the common benefit. With this the State of Chile acquired stability and a deep mark of a strong State, that we can see on our time.
I like his work, because at that time Chile needed a strong man (or woman) who can make big changes in a difficult situation. Another thing that always surprises me is that Diego Portales never accept is payment has a Minister of the State, because he thought that a leader must do the best for his Nation not for a reward, the Minister must do the best because the charge was created for the common benefit of the Nation and not by benefit of one person.

My favorite photo ... correction


I was looking a lot of pictures searching for the most indicated for this post and then I saw it. I love it! It was the time when my father was here in Chile and my nephews were just babies. Maybe it was destiny that day my mother has a photo camera in her hands and took this picture. The older man is my father Luis, the one with a blue t-shirt is me, the little guy who is below me is the older nephew Bastian and the little fleshy child above all of us is the little brother of Bastian, Bruno.
I love this picture because my father and I have the same expression on our faces and the most important thing is that even though that year was hard we were a happy family. Now my father is living in Japan and my nephews are living with their mom in another place, I miss the three of them, but always this picture leaves me with a big smile.

My future career

I’m studying Public Management at the University of Chile. I decided to study this major because I thought that it was Politic Science but it’s just a minor. Even so, I stayed in this major because it has the best position from Chile on this area.
The professionals from this area contribute with is vision of what should be an organization. We are train to elaborate, perform and manage a group of people (the organization) to put them on a trial in search of specifics goals.
In the future, when I will be a professional, I’m expecting to help the people around me through the municipal organization, because is a type of organization from the State that is very close to the people.
The professionals of this area should have a vocation of service to the society, because is PUBLIC management, hello!!!!
My favorite subject are the area of investigation that focus on the human being. When you create a organization you could focus on the money, the statement and on the people. I prefer to focus on the people because I think that the things that we create like the money and organization should be a tool of the human and not the human a tool of them.
