Evaluation of my academic year

When i was at school i had a very good academic performance, but i always thought that my school wasn´t the best, because of that when i went to university i didn´t know how would be my performance, and it wasn´t very good, despite i studied a lot for every test and i was very responsible, my first year at university was awful i reprove four subjects and i was very depressed but nevertheless i´ve always been a persistant person so i never stop studying not even a little.

As you progress in university you gain experience, so know i´m in my third year at university, but i´m in second grade because of the subjects i didn´t pass and during this time and in this year mostly i learned how to study the best way, because at university you start studing with different people and you learn a lot doing study group using different methodologies so by this way in some point you find the best methodology for you, and i think this happened to me in 2009.

At first term i approve all my subjects and this makes me very happy because was worth all the effort and was reflected in my notes and to do well is the best incentive to keep studying and to try even harder to achieve your goals.

Another good thing is that i did a subject of third grade so the firts half of the next year would be more quiet i hope XD!

The second term is not endend yet, but for now some subjects has endend i did good at those like population ecology this was a subject it cost me a lot but i was perseverant like always so i did well at this one.

So in conclusion until now i think this was a very good year, i learned so many things, i have subjects i like a lot like farmacology i like this because the teacher is very good she really cares that we learn and apply all things the best possible way and also because of this i had good grades in this.

I also believe that i growth a lot as a person, until now i has my best friends at university and this is very important because if you had a good group of people with you you will feel full so you will be successful.

So like this is the last session i wish all of you the best in your lives! :D

bye!

CHALLENGES IN YOUR DISCIPLINE

Well i think there are a lot of challenges in our discipline because this carreer has so many areas.

About teconology i think you have to be proactive and be always aware of new technologies that are appearing because the world is growing very fast, so every day new things are being invented, creating new vaccines, modernize laboratories, creating new diagnostic equipment and so many more things.

Talking about social matters, i think is necessary to educate the population to have a responsible pet ownership, to recycle, to don´t littering the floor, because all this thing are totally related to nature, animals and people, because if we take care of our environment we are going to be more healthy, i think is very relevant that we like vets educate for example kids, to take care the environment, to know our wildlife, to take care about animals, because if they learn this things from the beggining they are going to implemente these things throughout their lives.

Education: i think in this carreer you learn many things about everything, so is necessary when you end the carreer to do something more related with the area you like you have to deepen in something to be the best at something. Another thing important is that you have to be always studing from books, reading papers, researshing and never stop learning more and more, because every day new things happen at world and we have to now all this things.

I think during the carreer you lear how to face these challenges, and during your life to, i think during the years you are gaining experience because you are faced with different situations and you always learn new thing from this situations.

IMPROVING YOUR FACULTY

I think there are lots of things that need to be improve at the faculty. The current situation is that if we are talking about infrastructure, the dining place is too small, the food is bad and very expensive, in relation to sporting areas, the locker rooms are terrible, are too small, they look dirty, one of the lights is bad; there are many machines that were donated from other faculty that are saved so it is necessary to implement a gym for these.
Talking about classrooms many of these are poorly done, there is not enough space for students, is dificult to see the board, sometimes you can´t listen to teachers because of heaters are noisy.
Another thing i think is very bad is that there is a teacher for each subject so if you reprove you are late a year inevitably, another thing is that the secretary of education is the worst, he doesn´t help the students in nothing.
Because of there are a lot of things working bad i think is very dificult to make a change because there are many problems in differents areas of the faculty tha you start thinking that is the solution changing the rector, the secretary of studies?? maybe another person arrives and i would be the same thing.
I think is escencial to improve the dining place, because many people would eat better things. If sporting areas would be better more people would do sports and this is very good for avoid stress, forgot problems i think doing sports is necesary so these woul be the real benefits of these improvements.

Conservation

I really don´t know what i´m going to do at the future, but one of the things i´m interested in is about conservation, i think all people have to aware about what things can we do to take care of our world, so i pick a new about reefs under threat. Global warming is producing this, because carbon levels are increasing, acidity, pollution, algae,bleaching and el niño. I had read that a report from the Australian government says that " the overall outlook for the reef is poor and catastrophic damage to the ecosystem may not be adverted" I think this is worring because a reef includes a lot of differets species of animals and a plants and if this disappears the food chain would be greatdly affected.
Charlie Veron, an Australian marine biologist says that there is no hope of reefs surviving and that if they go they will take with them like one-third of the world´s marine biodiversity. The coral provide the algae with the carbon dioxide they need for photosynthesis and so complete the circle of simbiotic life, so..what are going to do if them dissapear! I was reading too that because of the human impact like the polluted waters and overfishing is enough to wreck coral.

I feel very bad about things like this because them are happening because of our fault, because people doesn´t care about garbage, about recycling, saving energy and avoing further damaging our environment.

we have to aware and make all people aware too!

My favorite animal: The Goat

I don´t really have a favorite animal so i´m going to choose a animal i like a lot, and it is the Goat.

The Goat is an artidactyl and they are gregarious animals.

I like it a lot because it is very friendly and funny, i like the noise it does, i think it is great because it gives you milk and you also can have cheese of goat.

It is a quiet animal, easy to manage, it can be adapted to many environments since arid regions to warm regions.

Last year i took an elective and i had to work with two littles goats every day, i had to weigh them to saw how was the diary growing, so i learned a lot of this animals, i realize that the goats are very scary because when i took them in my arms they "screamed" a lot, on the other hand if you get close to them with a bit of grass they come to you immediately and them let you caress, that is a thing i like a lot!
A bad thing about goats is that they can cause soil damages with them foots.

Another important thing about goats is that you can found a lot of races within this you can found angora goat this is a funny race because it has a lot of hair, is like a rastafari XD! and it is from Asia, depending on the race is the better or worse production of milk, a very good goat of milk is the saanen goat it is originary from swiss, it is white and some times it can have specks.

So about of all this things i choose the Goat! i really think they are great animals!

WHAT TO DO / WHERE TO GO IN SANTIAGO

I think there are a lot of differents things to do and places to visit in Santiago but one of the places i like more and i will recommend is the San Cristóbal Hill if you are a tourist and you like cicling you can rent a bike and go up to the top and enjoy the amazing view, in the way to the top you can found the japanese garden and the mapulemu garden in here you can found a lot of diferent plants and trees typicals of differents areas of Chile.
At the top you can drink a delicious Mote con huesillo and you can buy some gifts or regards, also you can visit the church and the virgin. Another thing you can do if you don´t like cicling or walking you can take the teleferico anda enjoy of a beautiful view of Santiago, at the top you can take the funicular and go to the zoo that is another place you can visit in Santiago, in there you can find a lot of differents kinds of animals.
Another place to visit is the Bellas Artes Museum because it has a beutiful infraestructure, it has a lot of history and in here you can see many interesting expositions.
If you like the adventure you can spend your day in Cajon del Maipo in there you can go camping, do some excursions, rafting, horseback riding, i think in here you can find all you want and the flora and fauna is fascinating.
Another typical place to visit is the central Mercado, it has a very old and beutiful infraestruture and in here you can found seafood and typical chilean food, so i think is a good place to visit.
These are some of the places i think a tourist have to visit in Santiago.

SEPTEMBER

I think the eleven of September is the best date of the year because it has it all!
In this date you can eat a lot of delicious things like: roast lambs, anticuchos, choripanes, etc.
Also you can drink chicha if you like it, elevate kites and the thing i like most is dance cueca!!!
If you are lucky to have vacations you can go out of Santiago, and if you don´t have all the week you can stay here and go to the fondas to dance some cuecas and drink and eat good!
This is the best celebration you can spend time with the family and with your friends; you can buy a kite and go somewhere to elevate it and have a lot of fun doing this.
Anothe thing you can do is that if you are near Coquimbo you can go to the pampilla celebration where people come from all over. In there you can find a lot of things like typical games (sack races, hopscotch,etc.), typical food, live music and all people happy having fun!

So for me this date is very important because units people and because is typcal of Chile, you can´t find this things in other places, so we must be proud of this date and we must enjoy it!

The land of oportunities

I would like to go to New Zeland because two of my brothers live there, they went there looking for better oportunities and they found it.
I think it´s a beautiful country, it has many beaches and also it has so many forests, the weather is very nice, and more of the people surfs and goes to the beach every day.
Gisborne, the city where my brothers live is very quiet, people finish work at four. It’s a very clean city, nobody runs, there is no stress and I think because of that people is very friendly.
I would like to travel there when I finish my studies, and work like a vet because hear that in this country vets has very good opportunities, but if I can´t work like this it doesn´t matter I can work in other thing (my brothers at first worked picking fruits and they make good money) and save some money to travel all around New Zeland (North and South island) with one of my brother because the other is married and has a little child who was born in New Zeland.
Another thing i like is that there aren´t stray dogs, because if some person would like to have a dog he or she has to pay for it.
This are some of the things why I would like to travel, and live at New Zeland.

GOOD AND BAD POINTS

The first term was very good, because i approve all my asignatures, and i studied a lot for all my tests and i learned many things.
One of my assignatures during the term was animal behavior, i liked a lot because was about all things that animal do in their environment, like how they interact, reproduce, how “mothers” rais their calves and a lot of more things very interesting.
Another course i took was animal welfare, this was a elective and i liked a lot because it was about all cares that animals need and sometime people don’t worry about these. It was nice because we went to the zoo, and we take a look about how was the situation of animals in there, also a veterinary of the department of enviromental enrichement at the zoo gave us a talk and we learnd a lot.
During the last term i practice football at university, i loved it, the trainings were twice a week and we had games all Saturdays morning, because we are competing in a championchip. These year we have a new coach and he is very nice and motivator and because of that the team is doing better these year.
Another thing i did a lot was cicling, once a week i bike up the San Cristóbal hill with a friend, it was very funny, and we took some pictures and make videos. Cicling is one of the things i like more to do.
These are some of the things i did at the last term; in cloncusion it was a very nice first term, i enjoy it a lot.
