My Future Job

Hi classmates, I am a psychology student, I am in my second year. When I finish the major I like to work in some town in the south of Chile, I really love the south of Chile. My idea is work with children in a school or some child institution.

I imagine that will be amazing, because the southern people are so warm, and I am in love with these landscapes, this places are full of magic. This is the reason why I hope live in the south in the future.

I will work in an office, this need not by boring; it depends of your way of work there. But I prefer work in different places, move.

I choose this major because I want to help the people to be a best person. My dream is can give new tools for the life of these children, lacking opportunities. I think this is a way to make the world a better place. Okay, like John Lennon, “you may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one”.

I think with my work I will not work so much, but I am sure I will be so much happy in my place, my home, my job and my family.

So, this will be my future! You are invited to go to my house in holydays! J

My Best Holidays

     My best holidays was few years ago, in the 2012, it was a trip to Chiloé in my uncle’s car. We went with his wife and my cousin. The road from Santiago to Chiloé is very long, it took us around 12 hours to arrive to Puerto Montt. There we ate lunch a paila marina and then we continue our trip…

     Finally we arrive to Castro, but it was so late in the night and it was impossible find a place to sleep, so, we slept in the car that night (XD).  In the morning the first thing we did it was to find a place to sleep. After this, we stayed in Castro for seven days, we went across the island from side to side, from Ancud to Quellón, from Quellón to Cucao, from Cucao to Achao and many little towns, all full of magic and charm…

     After this, we went to Puerto Varas and stayed there for four days (and we don’t sleep in the car), and also took short trips around the Llanquihue Lake, Frutillar, Puerto Octay.

     I hope go back to this places someday.

A country I'd like to visit

I want someday visit Mexico, because is a country which an invaluable wealth in their religion, archeology and culture. In this country we can find the awesome pyramids of the Azteca’s civilization, this date form thousands of years ago. In think it is a magic place, connected with the spirits of all the nature around, these constructions have so much mysteries related to their build process and methods connected with the astrology.

If someday I have the opportunity of visit this country I want to visit these pyramids, the little towns and know their people, with this culture, their mods to represent their religion, their devotion with the saints, their food (I really like eat tacos with chile :P) and music.

I would live in Mexico, first, because the language is the same in my country, second, because the food is so delicious, with all these strange things and spice condiments, and third for the culture and the people, so proud of their past and native traditions.

I am sure that I forget name a lot of other interesting things about Mexico, and also I am sure that there are many things to discover, things that are out of the traditional history and books.

Greetings :)

Hi classmates and teacher! I’m here to write about my blogging experience and about the semester too.

This was my first blog ever, and I like so much this experience, I think the experience of blogs and write posts every week was very funny, with this I know things of my classmates I never hear before, and I write some things I never tell before…

This was a very cool way to learn and practice English, because you do not see the learning like a boring class, with books or talking about boring topics, here with the blog we write about topics we choose (in general). In addition, the teacher’s was very arranged to resolve our questions with the writing process and has so much patience with our mistakes.

I hope in the next semester has again an experience so good like this semester. I probably miss so much the blogging activities and the funny activities of every week. I do not see any disadvantage about blogging in the English class, I think this is a perfect way to learning, improve and practice the English. In resume was a very good semester and class.

Greetings for all, and see you soon!

An animal I like is the deer, because is a very discreet animal, very stealthy. The species of Central and South America lives in the dense forests and are less often seen in open spaces, but the major quantity of  large deer species are concentrated in the Canadian  Rocky Mountain and Columbia Mountain.

I love the antlers of these animals. All male deer have antlers, with the exception of the Chinese Water Deer which have tusks. Their appearance is very calm, quiet and peaceful, but their antlers show how much stronger are.

In mythology, the deer is associated, for example in the Greek mythology, with Artemis (in her rol as virginal huntress). In Hindu mythology, the goddess Saraswati takes the form of a red deer. And many others cultures relate the deer with their gods and qualities.

I´ve only seen the deer in the zoo a few times, but I really want some day travel and take some pictures live and direct and observe for hours their subtlety and stealth.

I think sometimes that we, the humans have so much for learn of the animals. Each animal has a great quality and we, the humans, are going to a life so empty and superficial… We need come back into the wild.  

The area of the psychology that I like is the educational. So, my future plan, when I leave the university, Is find a job and become independent, find the possibility of work with children, in a school, or any organization, with the possibility of take care of their learning process, because for me this is the most important age in the development.

My idea is go out of Santiago after of save on money sufficient to bought a house, or an apartment, in a place in the south of Chile, like Villarrica o Chiloé, establish me there, with a good job, help the people, create an organization to work with the needy childrens and their families, to support them, above everything, in their education, and affective development.

 With these objective achieved I would like raise a big family (with many childrens) there, because I was raised in a place very quiet, a rural area, and I still reminding how cool was those years, those winters, those summers, that air.

I still seeing so far that dream, but for sure, I am still working for that.  

Bernard Weiner

Weiner is a cognitive psychologist born in 1935, he is known for developing a form of attribution theory, which explains the motivational and emotional entailments of academic success and failure, the attributions are related  with the motivation and can affect the behavior of the people, their strategy and their social relationships. He is an academic of the University of California, in Los Angeles.

Bernard Weiner reformulated the Heider’s theory, adding two aspects or dimensions, the controllable and the uncontrollable causes. In the controllable causes, the bigger the control in the learning process, the more the expectations can be and the higher the motivation to make an effort to learn, and in the case of the uncontrollable causes he says that in those causes is impossible to work.

I like this author because I think the education is very important in the life of the people, I think that the motivation is a very significant aspect in the learning process, because we need to have the interest for apprehend the knowledge.
