Hello classmates; today I’m going to write about a chapter of a book than we have to read, its call "Brain & Learning"
The intention of this chapter is to uncover the myths about neurology –“neuromyths”- about learning, thinking, memory, etc. All of this focus to be apllied on education, for improves the quality of the education.
For example, in one part this chapter its talk about the lateralization of the brain, the different function of the left brain and the right brain.
This myth, for all of us know, is than the people have“left brain thinking” or “right brain thinking”; a rational, logical, analysis or an emotional, creative brain; I mean, if I have more aptitudes for math or for languages I use one part of the brain and the other not, the absence of communication of the hemispheres.
But there is a lot of investigation than said the opposite, than, for example, for the lateralization functions, like the language, is necessary both hemispheres. That communication is give by the corpus callosum, a diencephalons structure. So, we have a kind of “left or right brain thinking”, better called “left-brained” or “right-brained”, but it is always necessary the communication, the integration of the entire stimulus for the work than realized the brain.
I am very agree about this conclusion, I think than is a simplistic point of view to see or understand the brain like a machine, because is say than the human being is one of that, and the complexity of us is real, so we cant deny that.
In general I found this chapter a little simpler, but for educators I think than is good, because introduce to an important area than they need to know. However, crude simplification never is good.
Have a nice weekend
Take care
Bye!

Healthy Lifestyle
Hello classmates!
This time I´m going to talk you about how we can got a healthy lifestyle and how we can improve our quality of life.
In this moment - the rhythm of the society and all the obligation of a “normal” person - to have a healthy lifestyle is difficult. Why?, because a healthy lifestyle involve all the activities of a human being. Since hours of sleep, the food than he/she ate, the physical exercise...the books than he or she read!; and now, the fast-food, the instant/immediately habits domain the reality, and all those activities requires time.
But all is not lost – like the song -, little changes in our routine could radically change the metabolism and those physiological things in the person. For example: The diet, if we choose one diet rich on fruits and vegetables we are in good road, and the inevitable ¡ EXERCISE! Beside all the positive than have to the body (muscles, tendons, etc.), the exercise help to other activities, like concentration and self-esteem.
Other important thing to care about our habits is the time for sleep. We read a recently investigation than shows a reverse connection between hours of sleep and high MCI; in other words: if we don’t sleep enough, the people increase its mass.
For the physical therapist is very important have a good physical condition, and for that, we have a class of that.
For me, in the beginning it was not so good, because I am not a “sport girl”, I like more to read than run; but now, I love the sport class, is funny and I felt immediately better, flighty like a feather. And incentive to do more “healthy things”, because its feel really good do exercise.
Hope you be all right!

My best memory of childhood
In general my memory is not very good, something very terrible because now I have to memorize a lot of things, but that is another conversation because about my pass a have a lot of memories, for that reason is very difficult to choose one the constellation of good moments about that pass called “childhood”. But now I am thinking, there is a “perfect” moment in my infancy, around 4 years old.
In my happy pinky four years old, I was living in the capital of Chile, in Santiago, because my father and my mother was working a lot, and they needed someone to help us, someone to take care of me: My grandparents. So, I lived that period of my life in “La Florida”, in the “Uberlinda and Orlando” house.
One day of that year – must be in 1995 – it was going to be a moon eclipse, and how I never was watched a moon eclipse, my mother and father organized a “camp” out, in the garden of my grandma. In the backyard of my grandma there is a big and peculiar “parrón” – of that parrón emerged a mysterious pumpkin -. So, we put blankets ans pillows down the Parrón to be confortables when the moment to experiment the natural phenomenon been able to enjoy it.
The deal: we (mother, father and daughter) was down the Parrón talking about anything, looking the stars, waiting “the show” in that starry night with a lot of yearning (at least me) to see that magic event. There was more silence than conversations, so in one of those long silences I fall asleep, because I had not strength or the late-night practice. My father (I supposed) takes me in his arms and moved to my bed. I didn’t wake up at the other day, when I realized what happened: I had lost an eclipse!
While no longer a “novelty” see eclipses, that day I imbued with the fact of amazed at events as “natural” and “supernatural” at time. Also the taste of contemplation emerges that day. Well, pleasant sensation of being among the parents.
That is my history.

Hello comrades!
Today I will write about a boring weekend than I live 2 weeks ago. But to talk about that is necesary to go back to Monday August 16, because it is in that day which begins this tragic and sad story.
Like every morning I got up early to start the day, but since I opened one eye felt a terrible headache. I thought it would happen, so I continued as if nothing (despite the persistence of pain) and came to the university. Like every Monday of the second half we had physical education classes, an activity that could not perform. The teacher told me I had to go to SEMNDA, there I go, where I had an hour of consultation for Wednesday. It was about 4:30 and the discomfort was unbearable, so I decided to go home, where I rest and sleep. When I woke up in the morning of Tuesday I realized I could not go in the morning, so I went to college later.
It was Wednesday, and time of consultation with the doctor, Dr.Vivian. She told me I had a virus that "hovering around" and that if I took water and entertained me it was going to happen in four days at most. As a good student of health and patient I do what she said me, but equally worse, being a horrible day on Thursday. On Friday I did not go to college, it was much pain, so I slept and slept all Friday and Saturday, until I could no longer sleep. This is where the story begins, "My boring weekend":
Awakened from time to time, with horrible joint pains and headaches, the virus was attacking with everything I had a battle in my body, not in the best conditions, but still a great battle unfolded. Ingested large amounts of water with salts and other spices that my grandmother produced as heavy artillery against the invaders that circulated this "sky, sea and land." Although I refused, I had to enter in my body drugs, generating atomic bombs against being called a virus. After that, I could start eating food more regularly, which makes me notable good, so the victory over the "bug" that caused so much harm unexpected was very closed. It all ended on Sunday.
So my weekend time battles and delusions caused by pathogens not let me go to my house to Viña del Mar.
(Would not happen again)
I wish you good . . . exelent Health!
Goodbye.

My Experience like a B l o g g e r
Hello classmate!
Today, in the blog, is time to talk about The Blog!
In the begging of this semester appear a lot of classes, I face the University, and between them English classes with the Blog. In that moment I think than that could be a horrible thing, I mean: write in English! It was something very difficult for me write in other Languaje. That happened, but things start to changes every session.
I arrived to this English class with a medium level of English, I mean, I could understand people talking in English and english texts; in the other aspects I was not very good. But with the Blog I could get better my writing english; I think than I improve a lot, writing more than one or two hundred coherents words. Beside, is very funny write anythig related with other stuffs beside the University demands and read other points of view, of my physical therapist classemates and the girls of Obstetrics. That is a other positive aspect of English class, could related with other people. Although I know than I need to learn a lot of English if I want to realize some plans than I have (live a time of my life in England),this is a good start; is an advantage than I got with this classes. But everything was not "pink color", a lot of days I was so tired or stress than I couldn`t thoght nothing more than sleep or study for the other day, that was a disvantage: Than I have to dedicate time for this clase; time and energy, because to write in English is necessary to think more than in Spanish.
In the end, adding advantages with disvantages, I could say than I got a positive number.
Wish you a good weekend!
Bye

My I D E A L JOB
Hello and good afternoon classmates, today I am going to talk about my "Ideal Job".
Like the other blogs this is a difficult topic, because I am interesting in different areas of the human develoment, like humanistic,...even cooker; in fact, in one time of my life, I will be a baker or a pastry cook. But I still think than is a very difficult topic because is a over view to the future, because now I am a student and I am descovering this career, the physical therapy.
I know than in a moment of my life I will work on hospitals, clinics and practices like a physical therapist, and I will work with all my heart in those medical centers. I wish work in differents countrys or cityes during that stage of my life, because, in that way, I could know a diversity of people and cultures than would rich me in every point of view, because in every different places the problems of the people isn`t tha same, and that demands more knowledge.
I wil love work, for example, in Chiloé, Mexico or....in England! It doesn`t matter to me very much wich place, as long as in not always tha same.
That kind of life (I hope realize) allows me to not have ties with bosses or that kind of things. Of corse I will love to have a good laboral atmosphere.
But that won`t be enough. I have a "secret ideal job", a utopian job: Pay me for study.
I know than is a very strabge thing, but I love to learn
I hope you will be all right
Bye!

P i c t u r e
Today we have to talk about our favourite picture.
First I have to decide wich is my favourtite picture, something very hard, because every day, in every different mood changes; just like music.
It comes to my mind pictures like "Le Petit Prince", or some with my friends, even pictures of great artist,but know I am thinking, there is, in my mind, a particular picture: the special one.
The picture is when I was a little girl. Is me, very similing, maby because my father took it and he was telling something sweet.
The history of the photography is not very clear for me, but some thing I can remember: I could have been in Valparaíso or Santiago, because my father is from Santiago, and my Mother from Valpo; I think than is in Valparaíso, because when they were a coupel, they lived in Valparaíso, in a beatifull hose in "C° Mariposa".
Is a black/white photography, taken by a Zenit camera, a USSR camera than now is mine, but in those times my father was the owner.
I was like four years old, even less. And I was wearing a very "chic cool groovey" hair cut, maked by my fathers hands; and I`m naked! because my parents were hippies and they loved that I would in that free state.
Why I love it?, because I am very happy, and the situation of my family, in those times, was beatifull. And the hair cut is great! A beatle hair cut ♥ .
And...that is a part of the history.
Hope you be all right.
Bye!!!!!
