status of education in chile

Today the education in Chile is a controversial topic because we have a lot of problems with it. Problems that involve high school and university, related with the quality and with the money. 
First of all, Chile have a huge problem on University education because it is privatized, everyone who wants to study have to pay, even in the "states" universities you have to pay. For this there is a recent legislation named "gratuidad universal" that implicates giving free education to some percentage of the students (the ones who have less resources), but this benefits only a little part of the population. The other big problem with this project is because is uncertain if they are (the new government) going to keep moving to obtain a universal free on education or not.

In the case of high school education there are different administrative problems related with who is in charge of the education (the state, the municipality or privates), also the quality of this and finally the differences between that people who have resources and people who do not. After all the final big problem with the education in Chile is that only people who have money is available to be educated, I mean a good education.

GPOY (gratuitous picture of yourself) To start talking about this picture, I have to said that this summer I went to my aunt’s house in Chaitén, to work on her restaurant and spent time with her and my cousin, because we never see each other because both live so far away of me and my other family. So, this picture was taken one of the last days I was there, with my cousin. This day we had a picnic day in a beautiful place near Chaitén called “El Amarillo” with all the guys that worked on the pizzeria (we all were between 16-23 years old). We had a really good day, we laughed a lot, relax, sang, ate a lot, and took too many pictures, because this place is so beautiful, really if you do not know it, please go! Is wonderful, it is a mix of green, rain, sea, and nice people, I am sure you would have a great time, if you like calm places of course. I have to said that take this picture was a total challenge, I had like 10 pictures on my phone, all of them we are laughing or talk...

English Language Challenges

To not talk only about English I’m going to mention the whole experience this semester, but first of English. I have to say that i liked the blog dynamic , because I like to have an own blog and decorated it, I enjoyed that part, more than writing stuffs, because I think I am not an interesting person that people would like to read about my life and it is weird to write about myself. I am so glad that the classes were not the common boring grammar lessons. There are two things I would change: I think that maybe the classes could be oriented to teach as how to translate the papers that we have to read to the other subjects like the vocabulary or technical terms and stuffs like that, to make the course have a sense of really helping the students with university life. The second one is the attendance, because there are times that I have a lot of things to do, but I am afraid of fail the subject because of the attendance. Instead of that I think the course was okey. It helps me ...

What are you really into? Today, like in this moment I am not really into anything, because college uses all my time, every time! It is horrible (Okay not all the time, but it feels like that). But I have been always in love with Harry Potter. I read all the books a lot of times; I have watched the movies thousands of times, etc. My love starts on 7 grade when my school forced me to read the third book (I have to admit that when I was little Harry Potter scared me a little, because all He –That-Must-Not-Be-Named stuff), so I read it against my will, but I really, really loved it, so I decide to read the  others books and watch the movies. Another thing that I really like of the story is this idea of the magic world hidden in our “real” world. Also my favorite books are the half-blood prince, and the prisoner of Azkaban. I don’t know what else I can tell you, I think it is a really good story, it haa complete plot, I think there are a lot of good ideas, and subtle...
