My friends!

For me, my friends are very important, I value the friendships that were maintained over time, and that they are honest.

 My friends should be honest, being accomplices and companions. But most importantly they must be good companions, I think having a friend is very important, especially when you live difficult times and also when you live happy moments.

 Personally I have few friends but they are very good friends. I have friends in college, of the school  and friends of a lifetime. In general I can easily meet people, chat. etc. I have few real friends but friends good so I think I have few friends but good.

I consider myself a good friend, I like to show affection, and they my firends can count on me  always, but sometimes a bit I careless of my friends and I don't see my friends much time, I think that's not very good.

I don't have a  just " best" friend, I have few friends but very good and of all ages, and I'm very happy with they.

Books and literature

I like reading about education, also about social history and adventures written for Isabel Allende, really I haven’t defined my liking, but I can read about everything subjects that interest me.

I have no favorite writer, because I think I need to know a lot yet, but so far I like Eduardo Galeano, Isabel Allende, and Paulo Freire.

Nor do I have a favorite book, I think overall I like some books, but I have one that kills me.

Recently read a book by Alexander Neill, called Summerhill, I read for my thesis. He speaking about various topics related to education and freedom.

I enjoyed it very much, because provides a very different perspective on education and breaks the scheme of traditional education.
I really enjoyed it and it took me much time the read, because I had to go highlighting certain content and themes to return to them and develop them in the thesis.

Although generally takes me about three weeks to read a book that I really like, and a little more when I get bored.
I'd recommend this book at all mothers and fathers, as well as also educators in the world.

My future job

When I leave university I'd like to get a job as teacher a kindergarten. I thought a lot about this issue because it is important to know that you want to do when you leave college and I think I've decided to go that route.

I also like to do a business, this business can be about the education, but I also thought of studying gastronomy after finishing this race and put a restaurant, coffee shop, etc. Because is something that I like so much.

Although I also think it would be good to open my kindergarten and I'll working according to my beliefs and ways of see the life, I'd work with children up to 5 years and invite some colleagues to work with me, because I have a lot of confidence in some. I'd like create to an innovative project, with a pleasant work environment where we can all be happy with our performance.

Honestly I didn't think that I'd would a millionaire when I started studying this career, but if, I wanted to be happy, fulfill my goals, and I'd not worry too much about money.

About my strengths I can say that I'm a very feisty person, and always I seek to achieve the goals that I set, I like to share with others and work as a team, but is a bit hard for me, because normally in college you work alone. Also I'm an enthusiastic person and very friendly.

How green are you?

I think that the People can learn about friendly practices, for example, looking at various websites or reading specialized magazines.

I think that is possible to incorporate recycling into my habits, for example, recycling bottles, bags, tetra pack, or separating the trash between organic waste and inorganic waste, and separating plastics, papers, tetra packs and tin.

I like to walk, but I don´t use a bike for transportation because I`m very coward, and I feel lots of nerves when I use a bike in the street with cars together, but I try to walk or use public transport.

I don’t have joined or supported any eco-organizations. I just know Greenpeace. When I was a teenager, I wanted to join to Greenpeace, but I didn’t know how to do it. Later, I forgot this issue, but I always try to take care about the environment and to care the animals.

The last year, a friend and I built a greenhouse on the basis of recycled materials in our practice center. We used bottles to make the posts, big plastic bags recycled from the supermarket for making the lining and recycled pvc pipes to make the structure. I think that is very important to care about the environment and teaching to the new generation how to take care of the planet Earth.

I reduce whenever I can, for example, discarding the remains of the fruits in trees roots and using natural light whenever possible. I reuse the bottles or the yogurt containers and old papers for making toys to my cats and I recycle whenever I can.

Almost daily I see people throwing trash on the street. I think that is very important to improve education in issues about the environment and its cares. Teaching in the schools and making advertising campaigns.

The research lab of state education?

This article is about free schools: the research lab of state education...

The cofounder of the West London Free School says that he has long heard different reviews about this "educational reforms", but after three years has concluded that the strongest argument is that schools offer a space where teachers and students can try new things therefore it is possible to achieve high levels in the country's public education.

The cofounder says he is sure he heard all the arguments against this research, "experimenting with people's lives", "that already exist such experiences in community schools" but the best argument he has is that the free school population is too small to draw general conclusions as a massive test.

Also tells of the founding principles of the WLFS is that children can benefit from a liberal education, regardless of their background or abilities. In general terms he argues that each student will learn core subjects like English language, mathematics, history, geography, theology, Latin, French, physics, chemistry and biology, but also be complemented with art, music, theater and sports. 

He mentions that the aim is to provide students with a basic knowledge stock, and about different themes, in order to succeed in their social relations and in his studies.

Finally says he has no doubt that after reading this article, many people will suspicious of free schools, but if teachers have interesting to participate in this initiative should contact the institution and indicate their desire to participate, because are looking for staff.

"Independence holidays"

I don't normally celebrate "independence holidays", I don't really care about the celebration of the republic.

In general, during this time I take holidays to enjoy with my family, my boyfriend, friends and relax my self.

What I like about this time, is that I have many days to do fun things.

And I hate that the media and advertising make an invitation to people to drink alcohol excessively and spend money in large quantities.

Also, I feel that these dates are only a tranquilizer for citizenship, as Violeta Parra says in her song: "I sing the difference": Warning the audience that will swallow the purgative, as we celebrate the most gallant 18°. The flag is a tranquilizer.

These are some reasons why these dates are not to my liking. And I don't take the purgative that shops and the government offer.

But although, I think this way, my family celebrates these dates, they are not nationalists but consider these days as an opportunity to meet and have a good time, so we get together for lunch on the 18th and in the evening we enjoy a delicious barbecue .

And that's it!

Thank you for read...
