My ideal job

Since I was very young, I dreamt work in the health area, I wanted to be the best doctor and can heal to every children in the world.
Now, that I study physical therapy, a career relationed with the health, my dream continues, but today this are more realists.
My dream in five or six year is to work in my own clinic, with a team of physical therapists, they especialized in differents area of the physical therapy, in order to our clinic can offer a complete service for patients. Also will be very interesting that our clinic could be associated to a traditional clinic, because, of this way, these clinics or hospitals won't collapse and the patients derivated to physical therapy can receive a better and more especialized attention.
In this place, I would like to work with all kind of patients, but especially with childrens in the area of rehab.
Also I would love to work in a public hospital, cause I think people there has more difficulties to get access to a good health. In public hospitals, I would like to work in respiratory area cause in Winter, childrens have a lot of diseases caused by colds and viruses, making hospitals collapse with breathless childs which can't pay for a better service.
I hope I could work in both places. It means, these places must be near eachother and has differents work turns. This way, I could help people and make money for myself.

The health personnel have a very important role in the prevention and education of the population.
In the case of common diseases, the prevention includes: wash to hands, wash food carefully, drinking water, avoid the overcrowding, avoid the proximity with sick people, do physical activity often, etc.
Also there are other kinds of health problems, wich are becoming more common, this are the accidents, this prevention is a few different from common diseases and includes: not drinking alcohol excessivelly and not drive drunk, not consume drugs, avoid contact with electrical appliances in poor condition, avoid the contact of the children with the fire, etc.

Is it a men's world really?

In antiquity, the society was very different that now!, in this period, the man was the only with a important role in the society. The men worked outside of home, in different professions, while the woman, she stayed in home and performed all task here, for example, cook, clean, wash, iron and care to children. Generally, only men received salary by his work, and the most of the homes were mantained for they. For this reason, the woman was not considered very important in society in any aspects.
However, little by little, the woman has been obtaining most importance in the society, because now she no only is worried of task in her home, the woman has fought very much for her rights and with this, she has achieved be most valued.

Now, both men and women have very similar roles, the woman have most opportunities for study and she can developed some professional career. The woman can work in different places and the works that before was considered only for men, today the woman also can performed them.
Also, the society slowly has over with the discrimination to woman and with this each day there is less social differences and the world is for both men and women equally.

Foods

Of all foods, there are very few that I don't like. For me, the most of the foods are very tasty...

My favourite dish is the Lasagna! but I eat in few occasions. Also I like the sweet foods, as the ice cream of raspberry and chocolate, the pastry, the cookies, the chocolate, etc. This are my guilty pleasure. I would eat only that jaja, but lamentably, this foods aren't good for the health, therefore I try don't eat so much sweets.
Also I like the fruits very much, I eat many peaches, apples, orange, watermelon, grapes, depending on your harvest time, but my favourite fruit is the strawberry, and in this case, the fruits are foods very healthy, for its high vitamin content, and are fundamental in a diet.

For other part, there are others very important foods in the diet, for example, the proteins (as the meat, eggs, etc), the milk, the vegetables and carbohydrates. All foods named previously should be part of a healthy diet in different proportions. Thus be a normal growth development in children and a healthy life in any age.

In contrast to previous, also there are types of foods called "junk food", that, despite being very savory, and very consumed for the people, this are very bad for health, causing many diseases in society as obesity and hypertension.

My career

As a student of Physical Therapy, I think that the most important points of this career are; to participate in the rehabilitation of persons who have suffered any kind of accidents or any kind of illness, to know about the human body anatomy and to know about the human movement and how it is controled.
I love my career, because I have the vocation of working with patients and to help them through the healing of the body. Also I have a dream, that is to be part of the Teleton institution and help children with disability. For this reason I wanted to enter at Physical Therapy.
My greatest expectation in this moment in relation with my career is to learn manual therapies that will be useful both for skeletal muscle problems such as for respiratory ones, that are very common in our society.

He does classes at students of Physical therapy of Universidad de Chile. When I had a class with him, I learned most things that have relation with the career as the direct contact with patients and different techniques to locate anatomical structures and to measure the muscular condition. This classes were very interesting and dinamics, because all the students involving and we practised the techniques learned. Also the teacher always was pending of our doubts.
This teacher helped me with this techniques and for this reason I learned very much. Now the manual therapy is my favourite area in the Physical therapy, and I would like to become expert in this.

My hobbies

Since I was little, I loved to have many friends, who accompanied me in my hobbies.
My principal hobby is dancing. I love all kinds of music, but principaly the cheerful rhythms.
I danced in Bafochi, a Folk company of Chile. I entered this company because I had always danced Folk and I loved this company.
There I danced most kinds of dances from different places of the world and specifically Chilean dances. In this place, I met many friends, who are still very close to me.
Now that I study in the university, I can't continue dancing in this company, because I don't have much time, but I try to take dance classes in other places with my friends.
My other hobbies are to go out with my friends, when I have time, always I try visit them and to talk with them or go to a party. Also I love swimming, but I'm not very good in this, therefore I'm take classes with my friends too.
In the most of my hobbies, I can share with many people and also meet many people of different places and to form relationship whit them.
In this moment, I can't do all the things that I like, but I try take all my free time.
