Immigration in Chile, problem? I would say big problem. Chile has become a focus of immigration in the last years, there are a lot of people that comes to or country looking for a better way of lifestyle. Today Chile does not have a clearly legislation about this topic, and that means that a lot of the immigrants have issues with the government; furthermore they live a lot of injustices. For example, they are not paid well, they live in an overcrowded situation, they are victims of discrimination, etc. I think the first thing to solve is to teach them our language (even if some of the immigrants talk the same language, most do not). Have a good communication is essential to live in society, you can feel more part of the people, you can get better deals, you will live confident,  your life will be more calm, kinder and nicer. So, how this people develop, if they do not know our language? How difficult is for them? I invite you to put on their place and try to be nice...

As I am just studying on my first year of anthropology I have no academic experience to talk about, but instead of that I am going to write of other things of myself and what I have done. I am 19 years old, and I have worked twice, the last two summers. The first work I had was helping my father with a lot of projects that he had to check, the work was all December and January. It wasn’t that hard because I do it on my home and because my boss was my dad.  The second job was on my aunt’s restaurant on Chaitén, I helped her in the kitchen and also as a waitress, this job was more serious, was all February and it meant to travel far of my home. I think I can consider this as an achievement, being away of my home for a month to work, I also learned a lot, it was a really good journey. Now I am on the second semester of my first college year, I hope I can end the career and become a social anthropologist, and also study something different, like decoration.
