Blog 8: A Subject I've Enjoyed Studying This Semester

The subject that I’ve enjoyed the most this semester is “Workshop on Recovery and Remediation of Degraded Natural Resources”. At first, in the class we were taught about water treatment, soil conservation and techniques for the conservation of biodiversity. Later, we had to work in pairs, choosing a place in Chile where the human has deteriorated the environment and researching ways to recover and remedy the territory. I liked this subject because I got the chance to research and learn about the Cochamó valley and the ways we can remedy the nature and the ecosystems of the location, also I liked this subject because in the future I would love to work in conservation organizations, because there’s a lot of species that are in danger and I would like to contribute to make their environment a better place to live, reproduce and interact with other living creatures.

Blog 7: A Website I Enjoy Visiting

Imagen
A website that I enjoy visiting is the Ladera Sur website, in there I can find a lot of information about nature, animals and the environment, I like it because in my career I have to work with environmental problems that exist in our country, and on the website I can stay informed about that topic, that is why I visit it at least once a week. On the top of the platform there’s different categories like “Articles” or “Destinations”, then in the middle shows the featured topics, like news or articles, also there is an easy way to find the things that you are looking for in the section that says How to help? or Where to go? I would recommend the website https://laderasur.com/ to everyone who is interested in the environment, the planet and its diverse forms of life, because it’s easy to use and provides good information.

A Meal or Food You Really Like

Imagen
I think lunch is the time when i enjoy food the most, because i love a hot plate of freshly prepared food. My favorite food is chickpeas and i eat them whenever i can. I am a vegetarian, therefore i must eat various legumes and i love all them, especially chickpeas because they are very tasty for me, they are also perfect in winter, they are also very versatile and can be prepared in different ways, although my favorite has always been the classic plate of chickpea stew prepared with rice, onion, carrot, pumpkin, garlic, pepper and other vegetables. It reminds me of when i was a child and before going to school i had lunch with my mother at home 💓. This food provide protein, carbohydrates, fiber, among others, which makes it a healthy food. The other meals of the day like breakfast sometimes i skip it because in the morning i don't feel hungry, although i am learning to make nutritious breakfasts to have a good vegetarian diet with all the nutrients that my body needs. In the af...

A photograph, its story

In this photo you can see my best friend and me. We were neighbours since we were two years old. When we grew up, we played together every day, we invented different games with a group of friends in the neighbourhood. He accompanied me throughout my childhood. Later, I changed house, but we remain friends and we go out whenever we can to share beautiful moments, because with him I always feel good, I feel like he was my life partner, my brother. Watching him grow up has been great for me. They are almost 21 years of friendship and I have them treasured in my heart. I am grateful to find a person like him to accompany me to grow. He has a very bright personality, he is cheerful and spontaneous, as well as very brave and self-confident. He has many virtues, and I am proud of him. I believe that he will achieve everything that he sets out to do and I hope to be able to accompany him in all his next stages. With him I have learned the true meaning of friendship, he has become an unconditio...

My Favorite Piece of Technology

Imagen
When they mention technology, the Cell Phone is undoubtedly the most useful in my life and which I spend the most time, as if it were an extension of my hand, but that doesn’t mean that it’s my favorite. Thinking about my favorite technology, it came to my head how cold I am and how the Electric heater and the Scaldasonno transform the frosty winter morning into warm moments. I will focus on a tiny Electric heater that I can move anywhere. It is my favorite technology because it warms me up in winter and I can take it wherever I go. I use it mainly to warm my room when I go to sleep, also when I get out of the shower, or when I have to get up in the morning. It has improved my life because it avoids the cold. I recommend using it mainly for cold people and especially in winter. It uses electricity but does not pollute with greenhouse gases💚.

  When i was a child i dreamt about running a small neighborhood's store, also i used to dream with drive a big truck red, i don´t know why jajjaj. Then over time I didn’t think about a future career. In secondary education I had to choose a career, but I was feeling a little lost. So after graduating i decide to take a time to thing about it. While that year i worked in sales, it was entertaining, even though i never dreamed of working there. After that I decide to study engineering in renewable natural resourcer because I think that the care and conservation of the environment is an important matter in the context of the climate and ecological crisis that we are experiencing. Another thing that motivated me to study this career is the deep love and respect for nature. My experienece at the university has been pleasant because I have met very nice people and I have learned a lot. There are also times of stress but i guess it's part of studying. The kind of job i would ...
