Post # 11: my blogging experience

Well, this wasn't the first time doing blogs, but this time was very different, because the change from Spanish to English is a very interesting moment, not for the change of words, the big change was thinking in English, go out of the class of blogs talking in English, because in the blog session you were around one hour thinking, talking and writing in English, and your mind think that your lenguage is English.
About the grammatical aspect, the blog is a great moment for write and learn about this lenguage, know the virtual world of English (especially in the work of search tools of our career), learn a lot of new words, searching words for reply the questions of kineobst, and a lot of new things in the works releated with physical therapy, new words or know people related with the career who have great hystories.
I like a lot the method of "Blogs", because the blogs are great tools for do homeworks, and enjoy it. Write about a topic in the blog, search information in the web have a giant diference with do a homework in a paper and later delive it. In my chase is more didactic build a blog, personalize it, write my opinions, and if I learn with that, I think that is great.

And in another aspect, a blog is a way vary simple for know new people, my future workmates and my clasmates too, the relationship with obstetric has goten a great free-flowing, wich has been stronger with the interaction between they and us, even that interaction has made butterflies in any classmates.

Well, and finally, the analysis in ted was great, a big work, but very cool, because you learn about the speed of anglo-saxons, the pronunciation and even in the jokes of them.

Well, i think that this will be the last post, at last in preintermidate, for all the readers, bay bye and good luck

Peace, love an empathy!!

Post 10 : Your Ideal Job

My ideal job is work in Africa, work in any institution wich try to make better the life of people who have been forget, people without bread, neither candys.... neither rigths because they are, literaly, forgotten...
because everyone in this planet are forgetting the others, and forgetting themself, "we just stay lying in our lifes, lying in nothing".
People without "another" (even, without family), are people who I want to help and give them the best treatment that i can try to make their lives better. That is the best of the world, where my main salary is the happiness of my patients, patients who really need help... and I know I'll need money for live, but I can live with three sandwichs at day if is necessary for make better their life.

For that job you need a lot of conviction, altruism and money for the tickets trip. You need a lot of emotional inteligent too, because you could lost a lot of patients, because there is an extreme world, where just the bigger eat, and the other die. You need know a lot of ways for help, be a great health professional, beacuse you won't have the same thing whan you can have in a hospital, maybe you will learn a lot of natural ways for cure people.

I think in that job... and i love it, i just know that my place is there, and i'm working for be there, i'm studying a lot, making better my knowledge and my skills for make real my plan, work a lot around ten years and acumulate a lot of money, wich i'll put in institutions for people with pathologies... Then, i'll have my work and those institutions, and that place will give me money wich i'll save, and when i have the necessary money, i'll start the trip to that place.
I have this plan in my head, so inside, and that is the reason what i know i'll do it, because i'm really arranged.

The problem of the job is THE JOB, the job is a great oportunity but a giant problem, where you must develop a lot of areas, develop your emotional inteligent, your skills for make friends, your knowledge about the world and about the health (and that is very very important)...
but that is totally possible.

Blog 9: Your favourite subject

I think that the best subject physiology, subject in charge of patricia campos ( teacher).
I like a lot that hours because is very necessary think and think one and another time the topics, use the formulate and never stay sleeping in the laurels of the theory( study the theory is very simple, but the practical, think and apply is more difficult, so you must learn the practice first, later theory for make better the experiments, putting into the practice the theory.

I learnt about the tansmision of the nervous impulse, the nernstt's equation about the membrana potential and how know the electrochemical energy of a cell, and the mechanism for inhibit the nervous impulse and the reason of the movement of the particles wich we use for be alive .

Blog 8: A talk review

"What are you drawing?" And the girl said, "I'm drawing a picture of God." And the teacher said, "But nobody knows what God looks like." And the girl said, "They will in a minute."
In my opinion, the problem isn't the subjects like math, like spanish opr english, the problem is the way that the teachers use, a lot of teachers use structures sinces 1200 a.c, and that is teh problem, in that years, the mind,the knowledge wasn't like the giant quantity of thing that we can learn.
Maths is a great subject if you know use, becaus the numbers are infinite and that is so funny, play with the numbers and transform that dreams, that ideas to the reality, but in the schools they just learn equations, and that never going to be maths, the maths is so much more, is enjoy the play with numbers, believe than every thing in the universe, can be change.
About the science, i think that people don't know it, they think that the science is learn chemistry, any equations of physics and memorize any thing about biology. And i really have been with the science, with prodigious people, phd who had teached me that the science is for make better the life of the society, make better the days and create any smile.

I really agree about the scarce help to encourage art and sport, because we must be integral people, and the art is a great oportunity for learn about ourself, and that, nothing can makeit better than the art and the sport, is very necessary make more spaces for the arts and change the actual paradigm, wich just work for create people perfect for JUST 1 test, the PSU (at last in Chile), and never give us tools for b preparate to this jungle called life, and never give us arms for fight with ourself.

Post 7 : Your Future

I'll be working in a public hospital, working a lot of hours, as a matter of fact, i'll be working every day and evry day, and go to the bed or go out to know any national hero who must talk to someone because he feel bad. Professionally i want work like physical therapy in a hospital with the people who need good professionals, and need someone to talk. And another dream is be the best physical therapiest of the history, or be the best in Chile, not for the fame, just for make ne research wich make better the life of the people, and make bigger this world of knowledge.

I don't use to wish, i just think in my dreams, for later work in make it real.
Well, about my personally life, will be a mix about philosophical-intelectual-and madness, beacuse i'll be working with my ideas and world, knowing new people strange people, and using them for make books, make any text about "how is live in santiago"?, or maybe " How is live Paris", because that is another thing what i want, travel and learn about another culture, but that just will be possible when i had done my work in Africa, or at last, for a breath.

And, where i'll be living?well, i'll be in the downtown, living with that broken dreams, around that crazy "world", with any friend and going to walk every day to any different place, and i know than my floks will be every there, or better said, here, because i have a friendship like brothers, and that is so great, have that security in any person, who you could ask for something and they ever try to help you.

And he is a past Mary McMillan Lecturer and recipient of the Neurology and Geriatric Sections awards for outstanding publications too.

Recently, he served on the Steering Committee to help organize the very successful "Physical Therapy and Society Summit" (PASS), the PASS was the first event for APTA(American Physical Therapy Associated) and the Physical Therapy profession.The mission of that event determine areas of opportunity to empower physical therapists to be leaders in:

1) integrating en new technologies and practice models
2) establishing collaborative multidisciplinary partnerships that address current, evolving, and future societal health care needs.

His Works

Initially, he focused on the role of feedback to enhance movement control from which emerged interests in muscle monitoring and retraining of stroke patients with EMG biofeedback, the use of Tai Chi to improve postural control in elderly individuals to reduce or prevent falling, and the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy of the hemiplegic upper extremity on recovery of movement function.

He is involved in research to co-register "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)" mapping of the motor cortex. He has received NIH funding ( a monetary funding) to pursue all these interests and most recently has received federal support to study the effects of robotic assistance on improvement of upper extremity function among patients with stroke.
