LEVEL 4 / POST 10 (WEEK 13): ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

I think that for me the experience of learning English at the university was not the best. It was difficult for me to organize my time to be able to do my blogs and to be able to participate in the activities throughout the semester. Even so, having a space where I can practice my writing and reading in English is always necessary, also, the activities where I had to speak allow me to erase the shame it gives me.

I feel that I must find spaces where I can speak English, to be able to practice my conversations and how to respond without fear in situations where I must speak in English. Even so, the English space at the university always helps, and motivates me to continue studying my English in other spaces. I think that writing the blog helped me to learn to put topics of my interest in English, to learn to explain ideas that I have and that I can easily explain in Spanish, but that when I want to talk about them with other people I cannot do it because I do not handle the English. 

I hope that next semester I can participate better in the English classes.

    I feel something similar, that I need to speak more with people in English to imporve my fluency. Writing and reading is not enough.

LEVEL 4 / POST 9 (WEEK 12): CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Imagen
When i entered college i never questioned the study programme of my career. But now, with only a few years to go, I have realized many things are missing. There are not many situations of interaction with the world (more now in a pandemic) and in the last year, the thesis must be done together with the practice, something that is impossible for the student. Another thing that I think needs to change is the number of introductory subjects, where, although they are very interesting subjects to study, they eventually extend the degree unnecessarily.In this way, the degree could last fewer years, avoiding spending so much money in college. I would like the degree to last fewer years and that it was designed to be able to finish it at the correct time, not having to extend the years of study, since, finally, only in the workplace can you learn what it is to be a psychologist With the experience in the online academy, I think it has been very demotivating to live these years at the universit

LEVEL 4 / POST 6 (WEEK 8): POST GRADUATE STUDIES.

When I was a teenager, I really wanted to become a specialist in human sexuality, and to be able to support sex education, which I consider is very bad in Chile. I continue to maintain the same interest in this topic, but currently a path has been opened that I am very interested in knowing and learning about it. I would be interested in learning about community therapies, where elements such as art and dance are used. I believe that through art, dance and other artistic expressions, people can say and work on their experiences, which is fundamental when experiencing situations of violence. But, although I think I know what I want to do, I don't know of any postgraduate study that presents this topic. I would like to travel the world knowing different understandings about mental health and different approaches that are maintained with the body, through art, music and dance.

LEVEL 4 / POST 4 (WEEK 6): CAREER RELATED TOPIC

Imagen
For me, choosing my career and the university to study in was one of the most important decisions I made at the time. When I chose the University of Chile, it meant moving to Santiago from Valparaíso and starting a much more adult life. For me, psychology was always my first choice. Psychology presents an extremely interesting and necessary way of understanding the human being, trying to understand and study subjectivity from different approaches and points of view.  From my experience searching for an explanation about the world, psychology has allowed me to understand many situations that most of the time are invisible, especially in a country like Chile. I believe that it can be a tool to generate social changes and contribute to people's lives in the search for their individual and collective well-being. Also, I consider that as it is a social science, it is essential that it always stays connected and communicated with other careers, in order to give a more complete perspectiv
