More than a image


Hi guys !!


Some pictures are like some musics, no matter the quality of the image, or how well it is the music played, only the asociation to a memory enough for be appreciated for us.


I don`t have many pictures because we bought a camera only 3 years ago, and the photos of my infance are save who now where. But i have a photo that is apreciate for me of the last summer.

It was taken in Con-Con when i went out to apse with a friend in bike for the city, the fresh air and the ocean make a great different between ride a bike in santiago and Con-Con, but the case is that we found a good place to take a picture after down a hill. We tried put the camera in a pillar in auto-mode, but the photo always was in a bad angle or blurred. A unknow guy offered take us the photo, at the beginig i thought that it guy meaby was planing stole us the camera, but later i saw the environment and the guy didn`t have where run, also the place was full of people, so i let him take us the picture, the picture was good, and my assumptions of a potential thief was wrong.

I like this photo because was taken when i was vacationing without my parents, and they alway put me troubles when i want go out witout them. The photo remember me how much i like the independence and the little that limit me go somewhere without my parents. I love my family, but i like to do certain things without the parental prescence, only my sister do not have restrictions with me.


It is all, have a nice week guys !!

Another form of education

One day we´re going to work, and we´re going to use all the knowledge that we´ve learned in our career, anatomy, biochemical, and all the subject that we saw. This knowledge will be usefull but if we don´t know how to apply it with humanity, all the lessons learned doesn´t make sense.

Some universities have problems about the form of give values to their students, and when they finish their careers, they have the academic knowledge but ´they don´t know how to make feel good at their patients or the people that will work with them.

In medicine for example this problem goes back many years ago, when the most of the doctors saw at their patients like a problem that they have to give solution, no more. They have not values because nobody teach them.
With the time they learn to treat with the people and make them feel good. Meaby someone could think..."What difference make have values or don´t have them when you´re treating someone". But the reality is that does exist a difference, the diference that the patients feels that his recuperation is to procced with his life, to procced with his dreams and aspirations, not for recover the health and come back to the work. That is the diferrence between someone that have values and someone that does not have. A profesional with values convey the energy that the people need to recover his bodies and his aspirations.

Today the good universities teach to their students some values, for example compation and empathy to understand the pain of the people and look some ways for help thems.
Courage to opposit at the people that want make money degrading the quality of health.

One more thing that the profesionals need is culture. If a profesional only know things about his career and unknow the rest of the world, will be difficult understand the problems that are always surronding and this proffesional will be not to able to teach others about values and forms to change the world trought of education.

The only way of put an end to this cycle of ignorance is teaching at your friends, at your family and in a future at your sons.

Stereotypes of the University

When we think in a career, we think in the students of it too, and we formulate a prejudice about them, this prejudice is based in years of stereotypes that the people have been done.
For example we have in medicine a stereotype, the tipical blond and white guy wit blue eyes that study the same career of the father. The student of medicine want status and be respected for the people.
We have in nutrition the stereotype of pretty woman that is thin because she is studing a career about the diet and the aliments.
In Chemistry and Pharmacy there´re generally categorized like "nerds", this people study a lot and never do funny things like go to parties and this kind of things.
Medical Technology have the people categorized like nerds and "Geeks", these kind of people like use the PC every time, live generally in a fantastic world and they use strange terms that they understand between them. The Chemistry and Pharmacy and Medical technology guys are uglies too.
We have the career of Kinesiology, this kinds of guys are categorized like sports people, and are also cool too. xD
If we look out School of medicine, for example we have the agronomists, this people is good fot drink alcohol and are categorized like hippies too, because they made strange "pitos" with the agronomist knowledge.
