My Indignation





I tend to be a very positive person, I prefer to see the glass half full in the face of each situation, but if there is a situation that upsets me, it is that the basic rights of people are transgressed, especially if those people are children or old people.
One of these cases are the low pensions that retired people receive, which shrink even more with the excessive cost of the medicines they need to use daily.
I remember a TV report where you could see the elderly people collecting the fruit and vegetable waste left by fair sellers, that image had a great impact on me, seeing people in their 60s bending over to pick up leaves of lettuce in poor condition  to prepare some kind of food. It was an image that was impregnated in my mind.
I find  it hard to believe that such situations occured in a developing country that boasts of being a member of the OCDE and a leading Latin American country.
If there are people who must eat from the garbage because the money from their retirement does not even let them suppress the most basic need of all, we do not even remotely near  being a developed country neither economically nor socially nor morally.

  1. I am very sorry, it is really a waste of the pension system, especially thinking that older adults have to reinvent themselves to seek new resources and at such an advanced age, I really feel indignation this situation. I would like to see myself enjoying life: /

A subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

My favorite subject during this year was "Television and education: the pedagogical role of the media" with one of my favorite teachers: Cristian Cabalin. In this course we learned to link communication and pedagogy, through the education delivered by the television programs that the audience watch. In our final work we analyzed the cartoon series "Diego and Glot" from the perspective of how this series influenced the education of children, adolescents and adults. The contents of the course were learning techniques for children, television programs of high audience and the role of television in the family. Although it was only 8 sessions, I loved all the learning I got, since this is the area in which I want to specialize as a journalist, educating people through the media. This work I did together with one of my best friends from the University, Andres and we had a lot of fun listening to the music of one of our favorite series, Amango....

A picture...

This photo was taken my graduation gala on  November 27 of 2015, in a very dizzy time of my life. I turned 18 the day before,also I had graduated from school, where I spent 12 years of my life and in two days more I had to give the PSU test, without knowing what to study. Despite of all this pressure, it was a wonderful night where I received all the love from the people that really matter to me, especially the two families that I have, I mean two families because I'm like a member of my best friend's family. On the photo, named from the left, are: my brother, my mom, my grandma, my dad, myself (dressed in calypso, my favorite color),my best friend, her brother, her sister, her mom and her dad.  Arelly or Arellita, as I prefer to call her, is more than my best friend. She's like the sister I always wanted to have, she's been the one who has supported me in the most difficult moments along my life. She always makes me laugh with her stupidities, we have infi...
