Blog Post Nº7: A place to visit *--*

A country I like to visit? For me it is hard to choose just one, because one of my dreams is to travel everywhere and know many places and people, but if I had to choose it would be UK. The truth is that not know much about this country, but the first thing that comes to my mind are the red buses and the palace guards, so I would like to travel there someday. First I would go to visit some cities like Nottingham, Liverpool and London. In London I would go to the Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and of course I would travel in the red double-decker buses. Also I like to walk on Abbey Road which is where they walked The Beatles. I would also like to know how veterinary medicine is there, which is the approach that give veterinary medicine and also I would like to live there for a while and learn more about their culture. I discovered that one of their typical food is fish and chips, which always usually eat here! For all these reasons I would like to travel to UK!

Blog Post Nº5: ¿?

What is your opinion about killing stray dogs?

My opinion about killing stray dogs, is that the dogs are not guilty of irresponsability of people. We should have other solutions, like the people care more their pets and not go on out of house.
Also the people should have more conscience, because if adopted your dog is for love and take care, not for leaving it in the street.

What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana?

My opinion is that marijuana should be legalized, only for personal uses and natural consume. Because usually tended to stigmatize negatively to marijuana, telling is bad for health, but this same people that tell this, is the same that sell or consume other drugs such us alcohol, cigarretes, also damaging healthy in more or less proportion.

What is your opinion about recycling?

My opinion is that recycling is a good method to revert a climate change. This is very important because our planet everyday is more contaminated and not only people are affected, also the animals of all the world, such as penguins, polar bears, fishes, birds and so on...

What is your opinion about cloning?

My opinion about cloning is that is good  in some cases, for example cloning of organs, because everyday the people die for transplant failure, in this case I think is good, the cloning, like option but when involves damage to integrity of animals or people, I think there is no good.



What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?

My opinion about the abortion is that is desition of everyone, everyone has their reason,   
may be for rape, congenital disease, births where the mother and her baby die, etc.. 

But is not justified is when an abortion for an unwanted child, because in this case could give it up for adoptation, but not killing a life by the irresponsibility of not protecting.

Blog Post Nº4: Let it Be~

Since I was little I've always loved animals, but I had never thought of becoming a veterinary doctor, and still do not know why! The truth is that I cost too choose for a career, at first I had been interested in the health sciences, so one of my options was nursing. But what really made ​​me decide I wanted to do with my life, was my dog ​​who died about a year ago and felt I could not do anything for her, was what made me decide. And I have no regrets! My experience so far has been very good, I have learned many things, both the run and personally, form very strong bonds with people in such a short time, which has been great because it's not easy being in a city you do not know.

So now if you ask me: Why do I want to be a vet? Easy! because I love this career, in the future I see myself working in this and because I love animals and I hope I can help.

I want to work in? I have still not very clear, I would like to learn from all areas first and then decide, because there is still time and many things to learn!

Blog Post Nº3: Say whisky! ;D

My favorite piece of technology is my camera, because with it I can capture everything around me. I bought it this year, when I came to study in Santiago, I use it on special occasions such as parties, birthdays, trips, travel, etc..

I like it because it allows me to capture fun moments with whom I can laugh later.
For me, my camera is everything and that she took all the photos you want, in the places I visit, the people we share and as I'm in a new city, there are always new places to visit! I also love it because the photos I take are to remember that in the future they can show others and remember old times with my family and friends. Also those pictures are a great decoration in my room!

Blog Post Nº2: My musical drug

For me is very difficult choose only one musical group, because  I listen too many bands and all kind of music. But if I had to choose between a band, I would choose Green Day, because their music energizes me and the lyrics of their songs are awesome.
Green Day is an American punk rock band and its members are Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, they formed in 1987 under the name of sweet children and in 1989 was officially called Green Day. Have recorded 12 studio albums and recently released their new album called ¡Uno!.
My favorite song is "Jesus of Suburbia" because the song is very energetic and behind it is a great story, the video is even more impressive, is like musical, for that very reason I leave the video to watch it, is a bit long but you will regret it, I hope you enjoy!
