RESILIENT

What is your opinion about owning an exotic pet? It would be very interesting to have an exotic pet because I love animals, but at the same time I think I couldn't have one in my house, it isn't the right place for me, I wanna make him happy. I wouldn't want to keep him locked up all the time. I can't take him for a walk either because people would freak out. So... second thought I wouldn't want to have an exotic animal. What is your opinion about women in the military? I think women should be in the army if they want to, I don't understand how there are still people who believe that some jobs are just for men just because more "courage" or "strength" is needed. So are you assuming that women are weak and not able to do what men do? That is pure misogyny. What is your opinion about child labor? I think that child labour is something really inhuman, whether they want to work or not, it should be a universal right to have a dignifie...

I'm just finishing my second year at University, so thinking about whether I want to study after is pretty hard for me right now. I think many of us agree that first we have to be able to finish our major, because no one knows what will happen in the future. Also, many people change of major, I really hope not to be the case haha. At the moment I am comfortable with what I am studying, and if I had to choose a postgraduate degree, I would like to do a Master in Government and Public Management, this postgraduate studies is offered by my own University, and I liked what you can learn. I would choose the evening mode so that I could work while I study. It seeks to train leaders who are experts in modernising public management and also teaches important values to public ethics, such as probity, equity, justice, humanism and a profound respect for citizens' rights. The reason why I would study that is because if all goes well, my mention will be Public Management. My career has the...

Since I was a child I have always enjoyed cooking, baking cakes, preparing recipes, creating recipes, etc. and at some point in my life I came to think that I would study gastronomy and be a chef, but nowadays things are very different. I'm studying to become a Public Administrator, because I found that my major had everything I liked in my high school. I was very undecided, I didn't know whether to work in something related to history, law, social sciences, sociology, psychology, in short, I had a real mental chaos. Fortunately my major has it all and more, some sociology, economics, law, political science, history and various fields of study, which I like quite a lot. I don't see myself working on anything else because I'm happy with what I'm going to do in the future. Specifically, I would like to work in some municipality, that is to say, in a local government, specifically in a commune in situation of vulnerability to work in pursuit of remedying it and improvi...

Today I'm going to talk to you about whether I prefer Winter or Summer. If I had to choose, I would definitely stay with the Winter. I love this season very much because I like the food that can be made like the sopaipillas and the casserole. Also, I like the rain. I don't like the summer because if I'm hot, it doesn't come off even if I take a shower or take something cold. However, in the cold I can turn on the heater and have a cup of coffee or tea. Although I love the cold and can't do anything about it, I assume that it is very individualistic and selfish for me to like it, because even though winter for example has many good things that I like, I am aware that there are street animals people in street situations who don't have as good a time as I do, and I apologize beforehand to people who prefer the heat. But now that I think about it, people and animals can also become dehydrated, so the heat also has its cons. Yes, that is all.

Choosing a Chilean TV Personality is pretty hard to me because I don’t watch TV long time ago, and I don’t remember some Famous of TV that liked me. But if I had to choose someone, I would definitely choose Monica Rincón and Daniel Matamala, who although I don't see them on television, I see them on Youtube or they appear on social networks, and I know that they appear in the news of some television channel. They are journalists who are not afraid to talk about controversial and complicated issues and I admire them a lot for that. In particular, I love it when they unmask actors with power or politicians, and as I said, they're not afraid to face them and tell them everything to their faces, asking them why they did that, etc. Sometimes politicians because of their greed make individualistic and selfish decisions that only benefit them or a few, and Matamala and Rincon are in charge of asking them questions that citizens would like to ask them, so I like their work because th...

Today I'm going to talk about holidays I've ever had. I love traveling and all my vacations were so funny and amazing!, but I remember that My best trip was Argentina. I traveled in 2010, so it happened nine years ago. Time flies haha!. I went with my family and ancles to Córdoba and Mendoza. This places are beautiful! and the landscapes are absolutely amazing!. I went to rivers, giant pools and toboggans, We ate delicious food, in short, amazing amazing! I can't explain how beautiful it was. First of all I went to visiting to distant relatives of my uncles. They took us for all the Cordoba City. But We were many people and for this reason  We rented a beautiful house with a beautiful pool too. We drank yerba mate all the day and everyday haha! What I like the most of there is absolutely the food! I love facturitas, mantecol, ice cream, alfajor, criollo bread, noodles, omg, delicious!. definitely I will come back, but the next opportunity I wanna go to Buenos Aires and ano...

I have traveled to Argentina and Perú. In my experience these countries were so beautiful, the landscapes are wonderful, food is delicious and people is amazing!. Anyway, I would like to visit another countries and I have some places on my wishlist. First of all, I would like to visit Norway and its landscapes, specifically The Geirangerfjord, this place is one of the world's top nature attractions Also I would like to travel to Finlandia because statistics notes that this country is the best in education, for this reason I'm interesting, I would like to learn about it as Public administrator, and also, because people say that It's the happiest country of the world, and i wanna know why they say that. Finally, I would like to visit Holland because in this country you can find places like Amsterdam. That City stands out because there's legal plants like weed and I think that It would be very interesting to know Why society haven't prejudices about it, I would like ...

Thomas Griggs is a Public administrator and political scientist He is my teacher at University. He teaches me all related with dynamics of the Chilean public administration: how during the History of our Country the way of being responsable for managing has changed. I admire him a lot because He has a true vocation for public service and I've noticed for the way in how he speaks in class and reads articles that he has published. ¿How  is it  evident that he is a true expert? For example, He has an important position at Universidad central, He is Director of the “Dirección de aseguramiento de la calidad” (DAC) at the same university, and He managed with his work team  the accreditation of eight majors in the university. Also, He is the author of many articles like “El Aseguramiento de la Calidad de la Educación Superior Nº 21 2004”, “Políticas Públicas para la Educación Superior Nº 22 2005”, “Planes espe...

Usually when someone is getting to know you asks “What kind of music do you like?” When they ask me that, I answer all kinds of music. I don't like to define a prefered style in particular, because if I listen a song and I like it, I will listen it, In general I love music! To reply “what kind of music do you not like?” is much easier for me than answering what kind of music I like. I don't hate any kind of music, but music that I like the least is the bachata, in fact I'm never listening it hahaha, the same thing happens to me with reggaeton that I don't listen in my daily life but if a good song comes out and I like it I listen with pleasure , also if I go to a party I will not sit because it is not the music that I usually listen to daily, in fact the people who knows me and has seen me at a party knows that I enjoy dancing any music hahaha.  Now, if you ask me about my favorite band, I definitely have to say Artic Monkeys! I love it and love them madly! the ly...

This photo represents the Woodstock’s Festival and was taken in 1969 by Baron Wolman. The 1969 Woodstock festival remains one of the most iconic events in music history. It was an intense time where there many wars, like the war in Vietnam. People were tired of so many wars so that festival was a time of tranquility and joy where people had good music, drugs, freedom and also not very good things like mud, burned eyeballs, traffic jams, and overflowing toilets. This festival lasted four days. I really like it because I think that people didn’t have much time for feeling happiness because the world (in general) was in constant conflict and if I put myself in the place of them, I would like to be in a space like that and I would like to feel free. In that festival people enjoyed the freedom, they bathed themselves there and they didn’t have any problem of showing themselves naked in front of everybody. Woodstock had some problems. One of the days it rained very hard and that’s wh...

I've only had dogs and cats in my entire life. I know perfectly well that these two little animals don't get along well and that having both would be chaos in the house, and to avoid them fighting all the time, we decided to have first a dog and then a cat (not put them together). having animals is beautiful, but has its cons too. One of the hardest things is saying goodbye to your best friend who goes to heaven, it's really hard.  I've had 2 dogs and 2 cats. My first dog was called Oso. It was a spongy and white thing, that I got to love it too much. I don't remember very well how old it was when we adopted it but I was little, I think it was about seven years old. With my first pet I suffered a little more than the others because my parents had to take it to Ovalle with my aunts for a while because we couldn't take care of him. My mom and dad worked all day and my sister and I were too young to take care of it. Then some time passed and we found out that it h...

My favorite piece of technology currently is my cell phone.  The cell phone I have now was bought five months ago and I like it a lot because it is quite complete. I'm talking about Motolora X4. I have had five in total during my life.  When I don't have my computer at hand (it's very important too), my cell phone is my best friend because it saves me to start or finish some university work, since I can use word, power point and other very useful applications.  The cell phone although is very  useful, for me is a dispensable object, because I am not very attached to material things (I have even been robbed many times), nevertheless i use the celphone everyday because isn't so much the cell phone itself, but are the things that can get to save. Personal information, memories, jobs, tasks and texts are at stake when you lose your cell phone. Also nowadays if you don't have, you may not be aware of some events or important things in general.  You have to take...

When I was a child, my dream jobs was to be a chef and also an english teacher. But I think that despite of loving this jobs, I don't think that is a good idea to work in something I really love, because I don't like the routine. I always i'm cooking and learning english in my free time and I really enjoy it. I fear that in some moment of my life things like to make a delicious cake end up boring. I want to do these things to my rate. These jobs are my hobbies in this moment. At the moment of applying to university, my options were law and sociology. Now, I'm so happy with my carrer and I cannot imagine me on law for example, because I don't like it, it  would be so bored, why? because I like to do changes, when you study law, it's all written, you are deffending something and you aren't changing or to getting better your country (politics and laws). At the carrer, I'm studying something that can to get important changes like to create or to design pu...

My full name is Michelle Carolina Prieto Astorga, but you can call me Michi, it's so much better and simple. I was born in Santiago, Chile, nineteen years ago on August 23th. I study Public Administration and this is my second year at Universidad de Chile. I live with my mom (Elisa), she is a teacher; my dad (Rubén), he is a teacher too; my brother (Matías) he is 12 years old; and with my sister (Belén), she is studying with me at the same university, but this is her ford year at university. In my free time I like get out with my friends or with my cousins to music events like go to see La Combo tortuga, Santa feria, Moral distraida, etc. Also, I like to watch movies or netflix series. Yeah, that's it, the favorite things to do in my free time (in general).  I would like to have more time to do  things that i enjoy to do, but i don't have so much time because i'm often studying, specially when I have an important test. If you want to invite me to some place to relax...
