My favorite subject

This semester my favorite subject is Infantile Imaginary.
In this class, we talk, argue and see different kinds of concepts about childhood. Also, we compare our opinions with psychological theories. In the class, we worked with recycled materials and we made puppets to apply what we studied with some children (other classmates brought their sons or daughter).  We didn't just play with them, but also we could see and understand how children work and play together. We saw how their concept of childhood and the reality was different from ours and in some cases, we saw that for kids, the concept of time, or weather, or the money, mean nothing, they just live the present.
Other things that we made, was a “Black Box” where we put something inside that for us represents how or what finishes with the childhood period and why. So, we explained with our words why we thought about that.
We also learnt about the way people think in general about childhood, and how this view's present in everything: on the Massive Media Communications, in our opinions, in the way that we see the society, etc.
I like this subject because it shows me a different way of seeing the childhood, the kids and how our prejudice (as an adult person) limits the way to see the reality.

Leopoldina Maluschka

Promoter of the right of children to a quality education for their development.
Born in Austria, on October 18, 1862. In 1878 he earned his Kindergarten teacher in the Royal and Imperial Normal School in Graz and a few years later, in 1894, at the Vienna Conservatory, complemented her training with the title of "Professor of Singing, Theory, Harmony and History Music ".
In 1899, his sister invited her to take part in educational projects was working to the Government of Chile. Leopoldina arrived in the country at the time that here was a extensive discussion of the national educational system and by her contribution, this was taking an increasing importance for the preschool education. In Chile began her long career as a teacher and teaching to others woman. She died in Santiago on March 8, 1954, at age 91.
Throughout her career as a teacher, Maluschka Leopoldina became one of the distinguished promoters of the right to preschool education in Chile. 
I choose her because besides her work as a teacher, she excelled for her work for the organization of the teachers as a "guild" to defend the importance of their profession and be able to carry out different tasks of disseminating knowledge and social support.

My Muse

Hi again, in this opportunity I'm gonna talk about one of my favourite bands, they are called "MUSE", they are from England, his members are Matthew James Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Christopher Wolstenholme. Their music is a mixture of differents kinds of rock, like progresive rock, heavy metal, electronic, among others, creating an alternative music, that's why I like.
In 2008, they come to Santiago, and  they gave a concert in the Teatro Caupolican. I went with my bestfriend, Camila, and we had fun a lot. 
My Favourite song calls "Black Holes and Revelations" (2006), and it's from the album  with the same name. With every new album, this group likes me increasingly, because they still have the same style of the beginning. 
Next, the video of one of my favourite songs, "Hysteria", from the album "Absolution" (2003), I hope you liked it.


  

 


And finally, the most sad song of this band, that I listenig on rainy day calls "Unintended", this is the lyrics


"Unintended" You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
Before you

This is me

My full name is María González Suárez, but my family and close friends call me Mery.
I'm 24 years old, and my birthday is so soon, on May 4th. I was born a Wednesday at fourteen o'clock, my mother, Ernestina, she said that I'm a nice person because I was born on a shine day.
My family and myself  have always lived on Santiago, we are three girls and just one boy, all of them are older than me and they are married. My parents living with me, and my two kids, Vicente is six years old, and Agustín is two years  old. My children are everything to me.
In the past I changed college three times and today I'm only still in contact with my friends of high school. First I study Philosophy on USACH, than in 2010, I began to study Education, at University of Chile, this is my fourth year, and I'm so close to finish and graduate the next year. Both careers have relation with one important thing to me, teaching to the kids. 
Another thing that I like to do, is read novels, and my favorites are romantics and suspense. I'd like to write a book someday, when I'll be older and I have the experience.
On the future I'd like to learn another language, like French or Italian.
