Hello teacher and classmates, this week I'll talk to you about my childhood! What food/song/smell brings back childhood memories? Every time I smell marihuana I remember my childhood, because, when I was a child, my neighbor used to plant, and to sell, marihuana. The smell of this plant was overpowering. We, my family and other neighbors, never knew the name of this neighbor: we used to call him “the skinny” (“el flaco”, in spanish), as he loved to call himself. What is your most favourite childhood memory? But, the smell of marihuana isn’t my only childhood memory. In this sense, I have a vivid memory in my neighbourhood: Diego, Lucas, Camila and I were playing soccer in the street when Pirata, the dog of the old men from the corner store, stole our ball and start running to the other street. We ran behind Pirata all the day. It was a great day! What TV series did you use to watch when you were a child? When I was a child, I used to watch a lot of TV seri

Post 6: Post graduate studies Hello everybody, this week I'll talk to you about a postgraduate course that I would consider taking in the future. Even though I'm studying, I´m thinking about a postgraduate course, because I would like to go into one aspect in particular: the Latin American reality. In this sense, I usually read about Latin America: its history, its culture, etc, and I organize a reading group about social sciences and our region.

Also, I want to go

Post 5: My future job Hello everybody, this week I'll talk to you about my future job! As you know, I am studying sociology, a career with a lot of possibilities. In this sense I’d like to work as a sociologist in the public service because, I like to study public politics, on one hand, and I think that the public service is the best place for care intervention, on the other hand. When you work as a sociologist in the public service –probably located in some city of Chile- you have to know a lot about Chilean regulation and social intervention, and I’m good with this! Also, this kind of job involves working with other professionals like anthropologists, psychologists, economists, educators, among others. The downside is that you have to work long hours and weekends, in this sense, much of the time you have to put aside friends and family. About the salary, I think that much would be gained in terms of money, which is complemented with long vacations, personal da
