Hi everyone! Nowadays knowing English is a necessary requirement, since it is the universal language, it is fundamental when looking for a job and much of the important information is in that language My relationship with English is of love and hate, because is a language that I would like to talk and understand perfectly but learn this language is difficult for me, maybe because I don’t practice constantly. I think it's very important that in the universities they teach us English. In the university I have learned a lot of this language, besides writing blogs help me to know new vocabulary and improve my writing. Although sometimes I did not dedicate much time to this subject, because I gave priority to my other subjects and I really regret it because to learn a new language it is very important to be constant and practice it periodically One of the hardest things to do for me, is to write in English, because I get confused a lot with grammar and I don’t know much...

Hello everyone! I never thought I would study dentistry at the University de Chile because I thought it was unattainable and I think it is a great opportunity to have entered this university that is the best in the área I know that studying at this university opens many opportunities for me in the future because of its prestige and I love studying dentistry, I do not regret my choice, even if it is sometimes very stressful. I know that I have very good teachers and experts in the field, who teach me the most up-to-date information so that we are good professionals. But not everything in this faculty is good and I think there are some things that should change. I think it is very important to have a good place to study and the dental school has very poor infrastructure, there are very few auditoriums, the casino is small for all students and the library is also very small and with very few study rooms. In addition, the preclinical are very poorly equipped, which makes learn...

Summer holidays are coming, my favorite time of the year because I don't have to study and I can sleep as much as I want. It's a time to rest and let go of all the worries of the university and also to recharge our energy. Usually my summer days consist of going to bed late and sleeping a lot, I also like to watch series, one of my favorite hobbies, because during the year I don't  have much time to watch series because I have to study a lot. I also like to swim in pools to cool off on hot days and also to tan because I love having my skin brown, obviously I try not to expose myself much to the sun and protect my skin with a lot of sunscreen. Every year with my friends we organize a trip to the beach, specifically to Pichilemu because it is the closest beach to where we live and this year will not be the exception. We usually rent a cabin and we stayed for 4 days, it is very entertaining because I share with my friends, we spend almost all day on the beach and at night...

Hello everyone!  In this post I’m going to talk about a photo that I like. This photo I like so much because I’m with my family: my parents (Jacqueline and Gerardo) and my two sisters, Nadia (my big sister) and Noelia (my little sister). I also like this photo because we do not have many photos were we all appear together, because my parents do not like photos very much. This photo was taken by my cousin this September 18th in Pampa de Lima, a hill that is where I live. Pampa de Lima is a place that is visited by many people at national holidays because there are typical food stands, live music and traditional games like rayuela. Also many people make their roast, raise kites or climb the hill Every year with my family, we go to the Pampa de Lima and I like it a lot, because September 18th is a special date and everyone is happy and enjoying. I also like to go there because it is a good occasion to share with my family, because we don’t see each other very often. My p...

Hello ! As I said in other posts I would like to be pediactric dentist. Pediactric dentist is a specialty dedicaded to the oral health of children and teenagers.  A pediatric dentist job is to care children’s teeth, gums, and mouth. Also has the responsibility to prevent any pathology or alteration and correct them in time. This is a speciality that I like so much because is very important to take care of our tooth in the early years considering that there are many children with cavities and bad habits, problems over the years are more common because of poor education and knowledge about the importance of good oral health. The most likely if I do postgraduate studies, I would do them in Chile, but it's not a bad idea to go study abroad and learn another culture and another language, besides studying abroad is a very good experience .  Today there are many dentists in the country, for this reason it is more important to do a postgraduate study, because dentis...

HELLO! In this post I will talk about a job I would like in the future. I have always had good relationship with children and for this reason I would like to be a pediatric dentist. I know I can change my mind, but for the moment that is my goal and I will do everything to fulfill my dream. To achieve my goals I have to pass all my subjects and try to have good marks, that is important if I want to get a scholarship to do a specialty. I would like to work with children because it is very important worrying about oral health from the early years of life and create good habits that stay with time, because today is very common to see children with many cavities and periodontal disease. I believe that pediatric dentistry is a specialty that requires a lot of vocation, because working with children is a difficult job. Many times children are afraid of dentists and it is important to know how to deal with that, because it is not the same to care for an adult as with a child...

Hello everyone! In this post I will tell you what has obsessed me lately One of my favorite pastimes is to watch movies or series, I do not have a favorite genre, I like to see all types, although lately by university I do not have much free time. Recently I started to see a series of netflix called Sense8 and I love it. Sense8 is an American science fiction series that tells the story of eight strangers from different cultures who, after experiencing the tragic death of a woman through visions or dreams, are mentally and emotionally connected and are able to communicate, feel and share their knowledge, languages and skills. This series I really liked because it has a very good plot and because every character has something special. I recommend it to anyone, I assure you that you will like it. Another thing that I love and I am obsessed, are the sunsets, I like them for their colors and because the sky looks very beautiful. I love to sit and watch the sunsets because it r...

Hello everyone! Throughout my life I have had many embarrassing moments but in this post I will tell you the last embarrassing moment that I lived. A few days ago I bought a shirt and I released it one day that I had to go out and do many things, besides the day was sunny and perfect to use it. That day I walked everywhere and there was something very strange, as I walked I felt that some people were looking at me a lot or trying to tell me something but then they repented. I did not understand what was going on because I did not have anything weird and I felt very cute with my outfit, so I did not worry and I kept on with the things I had to do. When I was finished with all the things I had to do I went to the supermarket because I needed some things and when I was waiting in line to pay, the most embarrassing happened. The person behind me touched my shoulder and said that I had the T-shirt tag hanging. I could not believe it and I felt my face as red as a tomato. I...

Hello! In today’s post I’m going to tell you about my best holiday ever. In my last year in my school in 2015, with my classmates, we went on a trip to Camboriú, a city in the south of Brazil for 10 days It was a good experience, because the trip was by bus, it was a long trip and at times uncomfortable, because we could not take a shower every day or go to the bathroom comfortably, but it was worth it because I could know not only the city of Camboriú, also I could enjoy the magestuous  Andes mountains and Iguazu waterfalls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. In the falls with my friends we decided to take a boat ride, it was fun and adrenalinic, we ended up completely wet, so it is very necessary to bring a change of clothes (we did not have one) Camboriú is a very nice city, it has a tropical climate, its beaches have very nice water and the people are very friendly and cheerful. Also the food is very delicious and the best thing is that all restauran...

Hello everyone! In today's post, I will tell you about the country I would like to visit. To be honest, I would like to know many countries (Who would not like it), my dream is to travel around the world and to know different cultures, landscapes and languages, but there is a country that attracts me a lot and I would like know It once I finish my studies, that country is Thailand, a country located in Southeast Asia that has many tourist attractions and is very famous for its paradisiac beaches I would like to visit Thailand with my friends, because it has beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters and beautiful scenery accompanied by a tropical climate. It is also a country rich in culture, with majestic temples and an architecture very different from the Chilean architecture. Some of the attractions of Thailand that I would like to know are: Bangkok (Thailand's capital) Phi Phi Islands, Khao Sok National Park and visit Chiang Mai, known for having one of the highe...

Hello everyone!! Today in this post I will talk about my pets. First, I have to say that when a I was I child, in my house we didn't have any pets because my parents didn't like the animals and also I was afraid of dogs, but one day we rescue a abandoned dog  and since this day we loved animals <3. Now, with my family we have four dogs and two cats, all are rescued The dogs are called: Negro, Atom, Arturo and Flaca and the names of the cats are: Mimi and Lana. The first pet I had was my dog named Negro he is the most spoiled of the house and we rescued him about 7 years ago, and the last dog we rescued was Arturo, a year ago, the most disastrous and messy dog. I don’t remember exactly since when I have my other pets, it's hard to remember, there are many. I love having pets because they give so much affection and make me happy. What I like about my dogs is that they are very playful and affectionate and what I like about my cats is that they are ve...

Actually I do not have a subject that I like so much, but there is one that I enjoy studying more, this subject is Scientific and clinical basis for diagnosis in dentistry that consists in masters classes, assistantship, practical steps, seminars and Resolutions of Clinical Cases. This subject is divided into four units:   Metabolism in humans Physiological processes in the human being   Signs and symptoms for the patient's clinical examination   Metabolism and physiology disorders In other words integrates the knowledge of Physiology, Pathophysiology, General Biochemistry, General Pathology, Microbiology and Semiology I like this subject because I consider that the contents that I have seen in classes are very interesting and important for my training as future dentist, because it has given me the bases to understand the functioning of the human body, how recognizing the patient's state of health or illness and recognizing signs and finally how to detect ...

Today in this post, I will talk to you about a facebook page named   “odontología para el novato como usted” , in this page you can find memes related to dentistry and with situations very common among dentistry students. I don’t remember how or when I found this page, but the most likely is that one of my classmates has shared some images from this page. This page I like so much because when I want to distract myself I search them and I can find very funny and interesting memes some related with the life or different situations that students of dentistry must pass of and others related to the different procedures that we must realize. Every day I see this page in facebook because every time I check it I find some meme from this page and I enjoy it a lot because on many occasions I feel identified with what the memes say. Here are some of these memes: Finally here is the link of this page if you want see more memes and if you like to, follow it www....

Hello! As I said in some of my past posts, one of the things I like to do is dancing, not in a professional way but rather as a hobby I dance since I was a child, at the beginning I didn’t have much rhythm, but over time I was improving. When I was in school I was part of a dance group with my sisters and we showed our presentations at the events and in some competitions. I like to dance, because it makes me feel relaxed and at the same time I also exercise me and because the music puts me in a good mood and I forget all the worries I used to dance every week, because I had to practice the choreographys that I had to present, but I don’t do it often now, because the university doesn’t leave me much free time to do other activities, but when I have a little more free time, I like to play Just Dance, a dance video game that I really like. Other hobbies are watching movies and series and also reading, but for the time I don´t do them very often.

Lately, I have not much time to see series or movies, because the university consumes most of my time, but watching series is one of my favorites hobbies. It is very difficult choose what my favorite movie or series is, because I like more than one. But now a will talk about the last series that I saw and that I liked. This series was recommended to me by my old sister because she liked it a lot. The last series that I saw is called The OA. The OA is an American series with science fiction, supernatural and fantasy elements. This series consists of eight episodes and was released on Netflix on December 16, 2016. The series centers on Prairie Johnson, an adopted young woman who resurfaces after having been missing for seven years. Upon her return, Prairie calls herself The OA, exhibits scars on her back and can see, despite having been blind when she disappeared. The OA refuses to tell the FBI and her adoptive parents where she has been and how her eyesight was restored, but she ...

My favorite piece of technology is the cellphone. why? Because I can do many things in it, it's multifunctional and I love it. I had my first cell phone when I was 10 years old but it was not the one I dreamed since it was inherited from my sister, it's very sad but after a year my parents gave me one as a birthday present and I was the happiest girl! But that happiness did not last long. After a year, I lost it on my way home. Of course my parents did not like the news and for a long time I did not have a cell phone. Now I can’t imagine a life without a cellphone, I wouldn’t be able to communicate with my friends or with my parents because I’m not living with them. I would not be able to do somethings on  my free time like watching youtube’s videos  (my favorite hobbie) Without the cell phone could not access quickly and comfortably to the information of the university, such as reading texts, checking classes or checking emails sent by my Teachers or classmates

I remember that when I was a child I didn’t think much about my future or what I would like to become.  I had many options. One of them was to be a dancer, because as I said in my first post I like to dance. Other options were to be a teacher or cook. All were very different options. Later I realized that I liked the area of health, and I wanted to become a doctor, but when I was 15 (I think so) I decided that I wanted to become  a dentist, because I really enjoyed every time I visited the dentist and I imagined myself as a dentist. Also I thought it was a very interesting career. For this reason, odontology was my only option. Now I'm studying odontology and I'm very happy with my choice although it is a very stressful experience. In the future I would like to work in southern Chile because I don't like Santiago and I would like to be a pediatric dentist.
