#7. GPOY, gratuitous picture of yourself

To begin, I had no idea that GPOY exists, just like a super creative idea to write a post, I loved <3 !. In addition, it is sometimes necessary to write about sentimental things (although I do not usually do so) because it still revives the soul.



The photo that I just placed was taken at the beginning of the year 2017 and it is quite significant for me because it touched the deepest part of my heart. In those times I was in my third year of volunteering at the Chilean Red Cross in Calama, unfortunately this year I had to leave for university, but it's something I really love besides studying dentistry and making cakes (yes, I think I'm a person something scattered).

That day I remember that we were in emergency operation because the region was in a state of emergency due to the rampant and strange weather, as in the north of the country it does not rain very often we are not very prepared to face these changes climate, so that several sectors were affected.

Practically we had not slept at all during the night to give aid and protection to those who were disconsolate to lose everything they had at their disposition. While as an institution we were assisting, a police procedure was taking place, where a man had disappeared in the river and they were looking for his body. Meanwhile, we continue doing our work until a five years old boy called Damian approaches me and asks if I have seen his father somewhere because he couldn't find him.

It is difficult to explain such a situation to a child, especially if you do not know anything about the body, nor did he understand why in his tent there were so many "men in green" asking so many questions. I tried hard to explain, I told him that maybe his father had stopped being in the world, and he still did not understand, so I told him that his father had traveled to a better world to take care of him and protect him from all the bad things that could happen to him. in life because I loved him with all his heart. In this the child replies: "I understand, but why would I travel to another place if he can take care of me and be with me at the same time?" And I told him that even though his father did not think it was enough to take care of him, that's why Immediately the child with a smile looked at me and pointed to the sky and said: "then my father is there in heaven with the father of all" (apparently the child was a believer), and I I said yes and he gave me a tremendous hug that shook the depths of my heart and stayed with me until we finished the operation, it was hard to say goodbye to him and leave him, but I swear I will never forget him!!

#10. Final Blog

My experience with English has been really gratifying because I have had good teachers who are very good at using the language and have encouraged us the importance of their management for our future professional, which of course has always made me feel proud to belong to this university and be a daughter of Bello. Still, I'm frustrated by the fact that it costs me to speak the language even more than writing it, I'm really much better at writing in English than speaking it. Like when I order all the ideas that I have in my head and try to talk really I can not and I block. Anyway I feel that this is pure practice and at some point I will be able to refine this aspect a little better, anyway I never had a very good base of English at school and I really believe that it is a merit to at least know how to write and understand some basic notions. The use of blogs I really find that it is super dynamic, in fact it relaxes me enough to do it, the fact of writing aspects of...

#8. Summer Holidays

In relation with my last holidays I have had the luck these have always been with my family and I always enjoyed it. Since 2012 my father had holidays on summer in his work with exception on 2016, but anyway I enjoyed it too. I have traveled to Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay and I really convinced that someday I will return those countries because I love a lot. Last year, bored for always going to the countries that I mentioned earlier, we decided to get to know a bit of South of Chile, which I knew a little more for my study tour finishing high school. We visited Chiloe Island and we stayed there for some days, we also knew Osorno, Valdivia, Pucón, Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt, among others. Even one day out of nowhere we crossed the border into Argentina to get to know Bariloche since it was quite interesting to know that place, but I would say it is better to visit it in winter because in summer it is very hot. In the holidays that we will have this year a...
