My career

Today I'm going to talk about my choice from career, the social work.
When I was a child I have a dream job, I wished to make me in a veterinarian, but later I discovered that I couldn't support the blood. In retrospective sound like an irony.

Two years ago, when I apply for the University,  I decided for the social work in firts and second options, in the Universidad de Chile and Pontificia Universidad Católica respectively, I just added psychology in third option. I had a lot of determination in that moment and I still now.

My experience in the university it's a little solitary. I don't like me realize the majority of the activities that my classmates make them, for that I don't participated in many activities with the most of them, but I have a good relationship with all of classmates. In the academic aspect I have a good result for now, I don't have any problem in this area and I really makes me happy know it more about the social problems.

In the future, I wanna work in the municipality, in the government or something like that. I don't thinking a lot in this aspect for now.

Thanks for reading, see you ^^

My opinion about the immigration in Chile

This year, in summer, I was work for the University applying a questionnaire to the immigrants from Dominican Republic and I discovered a traumatic situation.

In order to establish the context in this area is necessary to remember  the situation in 1973 in Chile, the violence and the horror caused  for the dictatorship; for this political situation, a part of the chileans are take refuge in others countries, product of this, in the present, Chile it's has opened to receive immigrants from Latin America, Europe, U.S.A, etc.

In this moment the economic situation in Chile it's stable, for that, a substantial part of Latin America it's come to Chile searching a better life. In some cases, they need to traveled in plane to another country and drive or even walking for days. Just for discover the reality.

Ceirtainly, Chile has job opportunities and better salaries, but the cost of the life it's enourmous and inequalety it's  a really serious problem, without taking into account the nonexistents protection and integration laws or some kind of help for immigrants. Although the discrimination isn't the worse problem in Chile, exist racism and segregation causing feelings of isolation.

It's true that in some cases the immigrants be able to emerge and obtain a really good life, but it's really difficult, and in my seem, they are all capable and friendly and I don't wish for them that sorrow.

Possibly, in the future, we'll have more laws for the insertion to immigrants in Chile and in that moment I recommended to come, but for now I think it's better not to move here.

See you, and sorry for being so rude.

First Post

Hello, My name is Damaris Arrieta Ruiz. I'm 19 years old, I was born on August 29th in 1996. I stayed here, in Santiago de Chile, all my life, but not in the same district, for family reasons I needed to move out in 7 opportunities. I have 1 young sister, 1 step-sister and 1 step-brother, I live in this moment with my mother, my sister, my step-brother and my step-father, but I visited my father regularly. I don't like to talk about my personal life, but in this case is obligatory.

I studied in  Liceo N°1 Javiera Carrera, and now I'm in my second year studying Social Work in the Universidad de Chile, I really love my major, I'm so interested in the social phenomenons, I wanna know why they happen and how combated.

I really don't have any hobby actually, but I like reading, I love the books of Ken Follett (In this moment I'm reading one of his books), I like writing and painting, I have a pair of paintings about flowers, I really, really love the flowers.

I don't know what more to say, I think I'm a nice person, and if you wanna talk or maybe drink a cup of tea (The tea and the ice cream they are the best of the world) makes me so happy if I can help you.

See you.
