Money

Actually, I really don’t want to be wealthy, I only hope to earn enough money to have a quiet life, and support my parents when they need it. I think that it is unnecessary to earn more money than necessary, because that makes us working too much and worry about banal things. Also, I deeply disagree with inequality, especially in Chile, where the money is so badly distributed. So, if I were a wealthy person, I will contribute to this problem. Although, I could use that money to make projects or invest to help to decrease the inequality. But!…if I had inherit a lot of money, I would probably use it to move out from my parents house, or making a trip, maybe to Europe, to visit other countries, but mainly to meet other people and to learn different languages. However, that inheritance would make me the things easier, saving me a lot of time to have the things that I want to have with the money I earn from my job.

Even though having a lot of money is not important to me at all, if I were rich (only hypothetically), I would invest it in a restaurant, or a coffee shop, because I think that that would be a nice work when I get older, after a life of working in my profession. I always wanted to open a restaurant or a coffee shop, because of my grandmother. She’s a really good cook, and she has always wanted to have her own place to work, and making those delicious plates and cakes. Anyways, I’m still working to do that even I’m not rich.

How green are you?

Well, I think that this theme is specially important nowadays, because of the situation of aur planet related to envaironmental damage. I think that school is the most important place to teach friendly practices, because there is where the kids sepend most hours in a day, but also is very important to teach the kids in theire houses, with the whole family. Also, I’ve learned more about recycling searching on internet, and by campaigns the campus, to separate the trash in different trash cans. Personally, I try to separate the trash in my house, but is a little difficult to me because the containers are a little far of my house, and it makes all difficult. But, in the supermarket I try to buy bread in paper bags, and every time I can I use only one bag in the market.

Related to transport, I try to use Metro always I can, and I suggest my mother to use metro or Transantiago, but she is a fan of her car.... whatever, I can’t do very much, because my house is far of the university, so I decide not to get there on my bike. I use it more like a hobby, but not like a transport. I think that in the city is neccesary to making more cycle ways, to make the journey more safe, and stimulate the use of these green practices. I think taht this is an important issue because in this country the frendly practices aren’t stimulated, and there isn’t interest for the government to improve these area.

Personally I’m not part of any organization, because of my laziness, I admit. but I think that is necessary to begin with little messures at home, and little by little I’m learning about ecological behaviour.

Education

My experience in high school was really good actually, but I think that the quality of my School wasn’t the best. I had good teachers, and I spent a really good time with my classmates. My favourite subject was Philosophy, and I think that is because of my teacher that I’m studying Psychology now. I didn’t like math, that was the worst subject. I didn’t like the subject, neither the teacher. Also, in SIMCE test we were bad evaluated in this area. In general I had a good relationship with my teachers, perhaps because I studied in that school since preschool. The quality of my education was very important to me at the moment of deciding to study at university, but I think that if I hadn’t studied at college prep school, I couldn’t have studied at university. This is important, because I studied in a subsided school, and I think that the public schools are less prepared to educate the students to get to university.

Related to technology, my School wasn’t the best, we had only one data show in the auditorium, and the computer room was small. But, we had a good library, and all the classrooms had the appropriate school materials for each subject.

Well, I think that now that we are in university we are more responsible of our education, and our parents are more responsible of our education in high school. However, in high school a person is responsible enough to look for the best options in education, and we can aleays worry about getting good grades, and learn all we need to get our goals, like in my case, study in Universidad de Chile.
