My ideal job

I think I have never thought too much about how would must be my favourite job... first of all, I think it must fulfill one very important condition: I must have the control over it, and I¿m talking about the precious time. As any sane person, I'd like to have a job that I love, I hope it's related to my career because I really like it and I'm very interested in some labour areas. Anyway, coming back to the previous thing, I'd love to have an equilibrium in time for job, for me and people I love. I am that kind of person who loves to do many different things and hates routine... that makes me mad, and I get stressed. Another request is that it must be an outdoor job, or not in an office, at least. I don't like very much small places, overcoat when it's full of people... but I like people :) and that's the last condition of my ideal job, to be in contact with people, although I think that if my job is related to my area I will never be alone.

My favourite subject

Psychology!! It's my favourite subject. The teacher is Juan Enrique Wilson, and he's the most kind teacher I've ever had... This subject, as its name says, is about very general psychology; in class, we've discussed about a lot of interesting things like personality's development, emotions, motivations and theories about learning. Every session is very entertaining, it always comes up controversial ideas that we all, students and teacher, discuss. I like these situations when anyone can expose and talk about his point of view, I think that's cool because I don't like class where teacher talks and talks about the subject and the students are just like auditors which have to memorize and repeat... I think that's because of the teacher's attitude and the students' interest and disposition... I think most of us enjoy this class. As I mentioned before, I've learned many variated things about psychology, although it's just a general vision still... I think the most important thing I've learned, or in better words, the most important thing that I've realized is that I love psychology.

School kills creativity

I loved this video! I guess, sometimes in my life I had thought about it... but never so deeply as Ken talks about it. Something that got very much my attention, was when he talked about how people teach to children, how to do things on the "right way", and also how they teach about mistakes.
I've always liked very much children's creativity, and I have to confess that sometimes I envy their energy and simplicity to see things that seems complex to adults. I have two little cousins and I love to play and talk with them, but they exhaust me, and I have to admit that I get them to be quiet saying things like "you're behaving badly to me!", or sometimes, when we are playing and they start cheating, I reproach them, although I know they're just playing or just having fun.
I think almost adults do these kind of things unconsciously... We want the best for our children, little brothers or any child near to us, but we have to be carefully about being rigorous and not kill -as Picasso says- the innate artist of creativity they got inside theirselves.

The future

I think that I'm not sure about what I want for my future. This must be, because I really don't like too much to plain especific things... you never know the things that could happen from today to five years ahead.
Anyway... In five years from now, I would love to be living on my own house, far away from Santiago. I don't like too much this city, because it's noisy and people's always running every ways. I would like to live in a little town, near to the beach; a place where I can relax myself. To achieve this purpose, I would must be graduated from University, and working in anything that I like... I really don't care about having a job that's not related with my career in the beggining, whereas I feel comfortable.
Another thing that I would love to do, is to have some savings and make a trip to India and some countries of Middle East. Although I don't know exactly what I want for my future, there are some things that I would love to do... I hope these things get real before five years from now :)
