our challenges
I think that teaching respect for the “different thought” it will improve the relationship that exist between the many types of psychologist, which will help to create a better, solid and complete knowledge created with cooperation and respect.
I think that the other big challenge of psychology is the social role of this discipline. Some people say that the psychologist could be a generator of change or a reproducer of the power relations of our society. I think that we as an active social actor have to question our role in the society and discover what we want to do with it. We need to be aware of what we do, not only in our consult with our patients, but also as a person who participates and influences the social order, so we could know what our actions mean and what we have to do to accomplished our personal goal, as a discipline and as individuals.

The money
I usually don’t have to borrow money from other people, only to my mother that is the person that supports me while I´m not able to make money for myself. But if I ask someone else for money is because I need to by something immediately and I left the money at home, like lunch, copies, etc. And I´m not very good at returning the money, not because I don´t want to, but because I have a very bad memory for that, so If I ask for money I also ask that someone remind me to return it. When I don´t remember in a long time and the persons that borrow me the money ask me for it, I feel very embarrassed, that’s why I always prefer not to borrow money. The big problem with my bad memory for money issues is that I also don´t remember when I lend money to someone else, so If the other person doesn´t remembers, I never get my money back.
A long time ago, I used to pay my bills making very long lines, a few times a month, to pay them , It was a big waste of time and energy, and also very boring. Now, with the technology I pay my bills bay PAC, that is a system that discounts the money directly from your bank account, the company only lets you know how much you expend and why. The other method is paying the bill on the web side of Servipag, you ask for the bills that you owe and you pay them quickly and easy by internet with you bank pin.
I think that the responsibility of teaching us about the money, hoe to use it and the big responsibility that implies, is the responsibility of the family and the school, all the knowledge combined helps people to know better how to manage their finances.

my faculty
my practice
I have always known that I wasn’t motivated to do a regular practice, like the ones that the students do just for obligation without enjoying them. I also know that for my thesis I want to do an investigation about an interesting subject, which means a lot of time and work. So I have decided that I want to do my practice outside Santiago, It doesn’t matter if it is in another city or in another country, the only thing that matters is that I`m not going to do it in my home city.
The main reason to do my practice somewhere else is because is the best option to do a lot of thing that I want to do all at once. First, it allows me to live a few months alone, outside my house, which means, without the protection of mom. It would be the first time that I would live alone, I have stayed in other places for a long time but on vacations; living and working, outside home is a whole different thing. Second, when someone does the practice far away from the university, they give you more options, for example, they could accept that you didn’t completed all the 700 hours of practice for the fact of been away. They also give you more freedom to invest the hours of work in other tope of activities. In my case I could be able to invest some of the time doing the investigation that I want to do and do activities that the people that I’m working with needs.

Transantiago
I think, that I would invest more in the busses, they broke all the time, there is always a bus on the street waiting to be repaired. I would also invest more in security, to the buss drivers and to the people that uses thansantiago.

My next stop
The country I would like to visit is Argentina, I’ve been always interesting to visit our country-neighbor, because I’m curious to know their culture, their way of thinking, we are neighbors but we are so different. I also, would like to visit Argentina because I’ve known a lot of people (including my mom) and tango dancers that have visit that country, and have told me a lot of wonders about Buenos Aires and how much I would like it. But this last year, my interest in Argentina is more related to my interest in tango, because that is the country of origin of this dance, so the place to learn whit the best is Buenos Aires. In fact, in September I`m visiting Buenos Aires whit my mother and my professor/dancer so we can take privet and group lessons whit one of the best tango dancers in the world and also to know the tango culture of that city, we are going out to dance every night of the week, by tango shoes, and know all the tango dancer that we can. Our priority in not to know all the historic places of that city (they both have know them already, I’m the only one that is visiting for the fist time) because we are focused in learning and enjoin as much as we can about de unique tango culture of that city, next time I will worry more about knowing about the city jaja.
