When I grow up...

It is very hard to talk about this because all my life I have cuestined myself what kind of things I enjoy doing.

When I was at school I was really good at sports, I spent all my childhood practicing gimnastic, because of this I started to fall in love with human body little by little and all of the subjects related with it.

This career have three principal areas of working: respiratory, neurology and traumathology.
This clasification is very limited because there are a lot of things that you can do as a physical therapist.
My favourite part of all of this is the fundamental rol that physical therapists have in rehab because it is very involve with people´s life and families.

It is hard to define which of this three I am going to choose because I am in second year and I have very little information about them.
But there are some things that I am sure that I want to do, in seven more years I would like to work in a public hospital because I think that they are the perfect place to learn and acquire labour experiences.

After this I pretend to go to study to another country like Spain or France, because this is a real challenge for anyone and it is the better way to learn about different cultures and about myself. I think that it is too soon to decide because there are so much more things to know that can be crucial for my desition.
So do not worry and relax, but always be prepared for the future.

Education and prevention in health care.

There are a lot of things that could cause illness, so it is impossible to avoid all of them.

This is a very important subject for the people who works in health area, because there a lot of illness that we can prevent, for example different kind of infections that are very common in winter like a cold or easy transmission illness.

In this case, health professional have to do a doble work, because they have to cure pain and educate the people.

I think that this is not fair because it is necessary that every country create differents kind of prevention programs for every type of illness in order to start educating at school.

If we start aplicating this programs at school we can teach basic tips showing how to have a healthy life for example teaching how to eat well, the importance of washing your hands everytime you go to the bathroom, motivating to do some sport and teaching others basic hygiene tips.

This is a fundamental point because this kids could teach this programs to their families and this is the better way to expand them.

This sounds wonderfull but it is very difficult because not all of the professional are educating about prevention so I think that the goverment should invest not only in public health but in specialist in order to improve the health of the country preventing illness.

It is better with us than against us... (Gender roles)

There is a book called: " Men are from Mars and women are from Venus" that talks about the differences between male and female. It is a very good book, because it remainds us that every gender have differents postures and points of view about differents subjects.

In the past the world considered that women was created in order to proceate, so women used to stay at home and take care about children education.
They did not used to express any kind of feeling or idea because study was only for men so the world was on their hands.

This happened because in that time the role of Religion was fundamental in human lifes and it controlled everything.

Now this has change because women has fought in differents ways and areas in order to create a space in society.
First they started with the education area, because they proove that they were able to think and learn, so little by little they started to take important places. A very good example of this is that nurses were fundamental in war because they take care and safe soldiers life.

With this kind of situations men saw the importance of women participitacion, obviusly there are a lot of exceptions around the world because it depend of the culture that you have.
Actually , in the occidental culture, it is not weird to see a woman as a boss in an important company or as a president.

So men have to assume that if we want to create a better world it is better with us than against us...

FOOD!!!

Talking about food is a very important subject in a healthy life, because we are not used to analize every little thing that we eat in a day.

I have to admit that I love to eat but only the things that I like, because I am very skillfull.

This started because when I was younger like 4 or 5 years ago I was a little fat, because I didn't have the habit of eating well.

So when I decided to dedicated more of my time to practice sports I change my diet, because the overweight wasn´t helping me in my performance.

When I started to eat healthy food I realized that in general chilean people doesn't care or doesn´t know what is the meaning of eating well, this is because Chile doesn´t have an appropriated education in this subject.

This should begin at school, for example teaching how to eat, the consequences of overweight and the real importance of doing sports.

Is also very important to teach in a dinamic and entertaining way in order to motivate a healthy life.

In case of adults is a vicious circle, because most of the people in Chile work from 9 am to 6 pm, so they use as an excuse that they are always tired so they didn't do any sports, and in lunch time they prefer to eat fast food because is cheaper, faster and the taste is not that bad.

So we have to control what we eat and do some sports in order to reduce the stress, improve our mood and our external beauty, but it is good to take a break sometimes.
