Health & Happiness

Dear all!!

This is the blog number 8!! I am so happy, because this is the last blog. This week we have to talk about our experience learning English.

I think that in our life and in our career in very important that we know English, this is because every day that passes the English grows as a universal language. If we know English we can communicate with people and patients of other places, and this way be more efficient.

I believe that during this 4 semesters I learned different words that I do not knew, broaden my vocabulary, I learned a little about how write, because in this area am very bad, also I learned to talk more, because before to have English I do not spoke much. I think that write blogs is a good idea, because that we find it easier to write after a while; also we learn new words and improve our reading.

I think that this subject should take another approach, cause I believe that we have a great opportunity and we are not taking advantage of it. The coordination should organize of better way the calendar, because this semester we had about two or three months in which we were doing activities without evaluation, and in the last month (November) we had all days with an evaluation. I hope that in the future the coordination can change some of these little problems, because I really believe that this is an amazing, especially for them that do not have a good base in English.

Well this was my experience learning English and my opinion about the class of English. Only one week left to finish English classes, so do not forget prepare for the final exam, because if you do not pass the course, you have to take it again, and I think that anybody want that. So, good luck to all.

I will be waiting for your opinions and comments.

See you soon!!

Hug and Kisses!!

Dear all!!

This is the blog number 7, and this week we had a free post, so I’m going to talk about the important people in my life.

I believe that when you have persons to your side that day after day they give you his love, compression and support, you can overcome any problem that you could face

My parents are two of the most important people in my life. They have always given me all the love that a person may want. They are a great example to follow because; they worked with a lot of effort to give me an education.

Another person important is my grand mother; she is a second mother to me and my cousins. She worked all his life to give their children everything they needed. She lives with us now.

My sister and my nephews are a part extremely important in my life. My sister is one of my best friends, she always gives me advice when I need, and my nephews of course, changed my life. They are great!

My boyfriend is another key person in my life. Whenever I have a problem I know that I can count with him, because he always gives me his unconditional support. Whenever I need advice, support or company he is always there for me. I love him!!

Finally, I want to talk of my friends. I can say that, they are always by my side giving me joy and whenever I have difficulties are there to give me advice and support.

Well these are some of the most important people in my life. and every day I thank for having them to my side. I hope that you also have people in your life who are with you and help you overcome difficulties.

I will be waiting for your opinions and comments.

Dear all!!
This is the blog number 6, and this week we had a free post, so I’m going to talk about a history that my father told me. This is the history of Mr. Goyo Goyo. This is a history like "el cuco" or "el Viejo del Saco", and now I’ll tell you.

Long long ago, when I was a little girl, my father told me the history about a big monster; this monster was called Mr Goyo Goyo. This was a horrible monster that lives in dark places, such as bridges and alleys. He is very ugly, and in the night, is like a shadow. He kidnaps the children who do not obey his parents. If you are a bad girl, you do not have opportunity of win, you can hide, but he always fined you. So, the only way to be safe is being a good girl.

This was too horrible for me, because I was very naughty. Then, from that moment I did everything that my parents said, I brushed my teeth three times a day, I went to bed early and of course I ate all the food, including vegetables... all this only to be safe from the attack of this horrible monster.

With the time, my father told me that Mr. Goyo Goyo was the name of a racehorse. This was very funny.
I always remember this history and I think that also I am going to tell this history to my children, and we can initiate a familiar tradition.

You also can tell this history to your children, because believe it or not, this history really works.

Well this was the history about the horrible Mr. Goyo Goyo… I hope you like it

I will be waiting for your opinions and comments.

See you soon!

Hi everybody!

Today I’m going to talk the stress at university and how we can deal whit this.

I think as students from health area, we have a stressful life, especially in our career, because we had a change in our curriculum, we have a "curricular innovation", with this change we have new schedules and more pressure. Because of this, sometimes we can not share with our families and friends or do other things because we have to study.

I believe that is important that we can learn to deal with the stress. To do this is important to take a break in our life, and do something that we love, for example we can do exercise, sleep, listen music, paint, out with friends or just stay home and watch a movie. Only with do something to get us out of the routine, we can deal with stress.

Also is important that we organize our time, dividing our time in the day or week, and do all things in time and not generating an overload of homework. Other important thing is sleep well, cause only this way you can study correctly.

I can say that in this moment, stress is part of my life, is not the best of the life (I can tell you), but if you try, you can improve things. For example I always try to take it easy, and when things get complicated, I remember that things always get better.

Well this was my opinion about dealing with the stress at the university … I hope you like it, and serve you some of my advice

See you soon!

Hugs and kisses!!

Dear all!!

This week I’m going to talk about the paper “Understanding the brain: The birth of a learning science”.
We had to read the chapter six: “Dispelling ‘Neuromyths’”. In this chapter the author talk us about myths in Neuroscience. Now I’m going to talk you about one myth in particular: “Let’s face it- men and boys just have different brains from women and girls”

The myth in this part of the article is about that men and women think differently due to a different brain development. Scientists said that the terms "feminine brain" and "masculine brain" refer to "ways of being" described in cognitive terms rather than to any biological reality. Baron Cohen believe that men are more methodical that women, and women are better communicators that men. He also speech about autism, and that can be understood like an extreme form of "masculine brain", but he does not propose that men and women have radically different brains. He only employs the term "masculine and feminine brain" to refer to particular cognitive profile. But unfortunately contributes to distorted ideas concerning the workings of the brain.

I think that is a very interesting myth, because people always say that. I don’t believe that we have a different brain, but I believe that we can highlight different capabilities depending on our gender. For example, always has been assigned social and communication skills to women and capabilities in areas more structured to men.

Well this was my opinion about this part of the article… I hope you like it
See you soon!

Dear all!!

This week I’m going to talk about a healthy life, and how we can have it. This is a topic very interesting, especially for us.

I believe that everyone can have a healthy life, if they so wish. To have a healthy life is very important being away from the stress. I know that this can be a little difficult, because we have a lot of preoccupations, but it is important to know that everything has a solution and that things will get better. We need to have a hakuna matata life style =D … I have this style and changed my life.

(8) Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata! (8)

Another important thing is eating correctly. The idea is not to stop eating, just having a balanced diet. We need to eat vegetables, white meat, fruit, milk, eggs and cereals, but is also important that we improve schedules for eating.

We always need to do something that we love; we need to have a hobby. This is fundamental, because this help us to thinking i

n other things, forget problems and eliminate stress. … I love listening to music, and whenever I'm stressed out it helps me a lot.

Another important thing is do exercise at least 3 times for week for 30 min minimum, this really can help, for example many people do exercise, because when you do exercise, your body releases endorphins, and endorphins make it people happy.

I believe that is important that people have a healthy life style, because this country has high rates of disease, like heart attacks, cancer, obesity, hypertension and depression. Is important to know that is in our hands change this, because is our body and our health.

Well this was my opinion … I hope you like it
See you soon!
Hugs and kisses!!

Dear all!! This week I’m going to talk about my childhood memory

When the teacher told us about this topic, I instantly thought in my best childhood memory... and I'll tell you!

When I was a little girl, my family and I went on vacation to the beach house of my uncle and we played all along until to get home. My father was driving with his knees and raised his hands, and when I saw that, scared me a lot... he always played with me T__T

When we reached to the beach, we were looking for snails with my pail and we built sand castles. After in the night, we hung out to know the place, we played "lota", we visited fairs, we ate "churros" and do many other things

In one of the time that we hung out, we walk to a fair, and in that place they sold some pets. I remember that my mom bought me a chicken (was so cute), we named it "piquito"

Some weeks later we come back to Santiago with a lot of good memories

I have to admit that I have a lot of childhood memory, especially with my family (Christmas, holidays, birthdays), but this is one of the most appreciated. I hope that when I have my own family, we can also enjoy of beautiful moments like this.

Well this was my childhood memory … I hope you like it
See you soon!
Hugs and kisses!!
