A Christmas Story

Hi everybody! It’s time for blog number ten, in this occasion I have to tell a story.

When I was a child, I don’t remember my age, but I know that this happened a long time ago in a similar date. I went with my grandmother, my aunt and my three cousins to a Christmas fair that was located at no more than 10 blocks from my house.

My cousin Sebastian and I were bored because my grandmother and aunt walked so slowly, and the only thing that we want to do was look for toys, so we decided to walk the Christmas fair by our count. We were talking a lot and having a lot of fun, I began to tell Sebastian something, so I talked and talked and talked till I turned around to ask something to my cousin, there was the moment when I realized that Sebastian wasn’t there; I tried to find my cousin I walked the whole fair and I didn’t see him, and I didn’t see the rest of my family too. I remember that I was so scared and I didn’t know what to do, in fact I felt like Kevin of Home Alone hahaha, I was afraid of asked for help to a strange, so I went to the entry of the Christmas fair and I waited for a lot of time to my family.

When I was thinking of going home alone, I saw the hair of my aunt in the crown, I was so excited, I ran to her with tears in my eyes and I hugged her, the funny thing is that she wasn’t my aunt, she looked at me as a freak, I was so embarrassed; but in that moment I heard my grandmother calling my name, I hugged her stronger than the hug to the stranger lady, and we finally went home.

The Fastest Predator

Hi everyone! In this opportunity I will talk about a fascinating animal.

For me an amazing animal is the Cheetah because it is one of the fastest animals on the earth, I remember that when I was a child I use to saw the documentary films every week, and every time that the documentary films showed the Cheetah I was freak out because of it incredible speed, Cheetah is able to run at 95 km/h even at 125 km).

These animals have some habits like always stay wander, because they don’t have a defined territory. Another habit that Cheetahs have is the fact that they are polygamous (maybe it’s a cool idea hahaha).

Cheetahs are hunters, so they use to hunt gazelles, zebras, also some birds; they live in the African Savanna.

I don’t know much about the Cheetahs mouth; the only thing I know is that they have sharp teeth and very big fangs.

The thing that I love about Cheetahs (apart of its speed) is there qualities, first they have great eyesight, they are very observant, and they are meticulous in the art of hunting; all that abilities that they have make Cheetahs a lethal murderer.

For all that I mentioned it’s why Cheetah is one of the most dangerous predator, and one of my favorite animals.

What do you plan to do this summer?

Hi! In this opportunity I have to talk about what I plan to do this summer.

This year summer maybe it will be a little bit different than the past summers, because in past years’ vacations we use to go the beach or to the south, doesn’t matter the place we went, but we use to travel out of Santiago. But like I said before this year it will be different, because I don’t think that we will go out of Santiago, this summer I will stay at homeL.

So I have to think in a way to have fun this summer, maybe I will spend a lot of time with my cousins going out to parks, parties, pools, or maybe we will just stay in a house talking about a lot of stupid things, or taking photos, or recording videos, or many things that we use to do when we are boring.

I guess that this summer weather it will be hotter than past years, is for that reason that I’ll try to be the closest to the water as it’s possible, I guess that I’ll go to a pool, or play with water balloons or a hose to get wet like old school style hahaha, obviously with a lot of sunscreen because I’m very whitey xd.

All that I say at the moment is the fun part, the sad part is that I will have to work this summer, I don’t already know in what job, maybe a bag packer, waiter, or strip dancer as last option hahaha, the fact is that I will have to work to make some money for the next year.

I guess that this summer it will be the longest of my life.

My Favourite Photograph

Hi everyone! In this blog I’m gonna talk about my favourite photograph.

This photo was taken by my sister Nissy, she is the mother of Santiago (the little one in the photo), on September, 2015; I don’t remember the date exactly. This photo shows my parents with his grandchildren, my nephews Santiago and Vicente.

I love this photo because my parents are smiling and enjoying of their grandchildren, also because it shows the growth of the family and represent the unity of my family, the unity that I hope that always exists. Other reason why I love this photograph is because it shows my nephews in an earlier age and they look so tender and cutes; and the finally and most important reason why I chose this photograph is the fact that the day it was taken was the day when we were celebrating my parents anniversary, I will always remember that day, because the whole family got together and we eat a lot, play a lot, and we have a lot of fun.

In summary this picture represents family.

An ability that I admire

Hi, today I am gonna talk about a skill that I admire.

I will always remember when I was a child and I spent a lot of hours watching Michael Jackson’s dance videos, for example “Thriller”, “Bad”, “Smooth Criminal”, my favourite the “MTV Award presentation”, etc. I was admire of the movements that Michael did, and I tried to imitate, even nowaday I try to do the same movements, but unfortunately I don’t have the talent of dancing like Jackson, and I guess that I will never have that talent.

I think that dancing is a great ability because it requires a great fitness, concentration, and act out feelings; so it’s very difficult to be a great dancer like Michael Jackson.

Maybe it’s not very helpful, but I think that is a excelent tool for having fun, or set free all the stress in our life, also it’s a very amuse way of do exercises.

In summary a skill that I admire is the ability of be a good dancer, for me it’s very difficult, as a matter of fact watch me dance it’s the most awfull thing in the world, maybe your eyes bleed. I hope that in another life born with the talent of be a good dancer.

My Dream Job

Hi! I'm gonna talk about my dream job, I'm a student now, but in a not far future I have to go to work, and if I have to work in something, I would like that job be a outdoor job. I don't like a indoor job, because I think that it will be so bored and repetitive, it will become a routine and I don't want that.

In my dream job I would like to travel all around the world, visit a lot of places, meet different cultures and languages, eat many kinds of food, I think that I will have a lot of fun.

Maybe I will have an office, but only to put in order my financial accounts when I come back from travels.

The last thing that I would  like to have in my dream job are vacations whenever I want, but I guess that's so unlikely.

A job with all that requirements maybe doesn't exist, maybe a professional wrestling or professional football player approach, but I don't think that I could have one of that jobs. Is because of that reason that I'm studying dentistry, and it's a indoor job, but I think that in the hospital I'll see a lot of pacients with different aches or patologies, so I don't think that dentistry is a bored or routinarie job.

Friendship

Hello I’m going to talk about friends. For me a friend is someone that is always by my side, not in a physical way, I’m talking about someone that is with me in good times, bad times, someone that hear my problems, give me advices, laugh together, and many other things. Many people thinks that your friends must have your same all interest, but I don’t think so, maybe one interest or two, as a matter of fact my best friend and I have totally different interest, the only common interest is football.

Friendship is very important in my life, it brings to me many funny moments, and gives me the certainty that I will never be alone.

My best friends of a lifetime are Abel and Sebastián, they are my cousins. I always remember that when we were younger we used to fight everytime and everyday, but nowaday we have a lot of fun, we meet all the weekends and we go to the mall, the funny thing is that we don’t go for shopping, we go for talk about everything and eat ice creams.

What country would I like to visit?

I always have the dream of visit the United Kingdom, I remember when I was a children I love England for many reasons, I love the landscapes that Scotland or England has, the weather, the language, the myths, and obviously the fantastic Premier League.

United Kingdom for me is something full of magic, I really love it, and if I have the opportunity of visit it, probably I will be te happiest man on Earth, I guess I could go to any tourist place that they have, the Big Ben, the Buckingham Palace, Liverpool, the Scotland fields, and many more places.

But definitely my dream is watch a Premier League match, I don't even care he teams that will play, I only want to enjoy of a good game, but if it's on the Old Trafford Stadium, watching Manchester United against Arsenal, or Manchester City, or Chelsea, or Liverpool, and if I see Wayne Rooney or Giggs, or Beckham, that probably will be the best day of my life.

So if I have the choice of visit a country, I'll don't think twice and I'll travel to United Kingdom, maybe for a year or twice, to known every single place.

My Writing Experience

I had a very great experience this semester writing blogs, I remember that I was afraid of writing, because I didn’t have the gift of writing, but now I realize that it’s not that hard, if before I write a blog in one hour, now I only need ten minutes.

I increase a lot my writing skills, I know that I have a lot to learn, but if I compare my writing skills in the first blog, with the last blog, is amazing the increase of my writing skills, now is not so difficult for me to write a blog, moreover I have a good time writing blogs, that is a great progress.

I acquire more words to my vocabulary, I can express what I feel with no problems.

Is a good way to learn English, because is entertaining, you have to think a lot to make a blog, and the best part is that you can see others blogs and comment it.

In the future I would like to write about of things that are not relationed with dentistry, for known more about my classmates.

Like I said before the blogs was a interesting and entertaining way to learn English, I recommend write blogs!

Something That I've Found Out

Something that I’ve found out is a very interesting app, that app is Nike Training Club, is an app that makes especial training sessions in accordance of your heigh, weight, age, etc.

It’s interesting because this app force me to do the training session every day, it’s like a alarm that told you that you have to do exercise.

I liked a lot because in past times I use to forgot that I had to do exercises, but now I don’t have excuses to forgot it.

Also I increase my knowledge, because this app tells you the best way to do the different exercises, so now I known the correct positions of many exercise.

Nike Training Club is a free app, you do not need to have machines, or go to the gym, I only need time and a large space to begin the routine. It’s very exhausting, but in a few weeks you look the results of your effort.

It’s a very cool app, now I know that if you don't feel pain you will get no gain.

My Dream Job

I think that my dream job is something relationed with football, so I guess my dream job is be a football player. It’s an outdoor job, because the trainings and the official games are in a stadium, so I won’t be in an office working.

I don’t like indoors works, it’s so boring you don’t even feel the sunlight in the face, and you begin in a sedentarist man, so if I’ll be a football player I do exercise every day, it will be amazing.

The best part of be a football player is that you have to travel a lot, you’re always visiting different cities and countries, and of course you don’t have to pay anything.

Maybe I’ll need to be in an office when the manager needs to tell me something, but a football player don’t need an office to work.

If you want to be a football player, you won’t need any studies, but you’ll have to do a lot of exercises and training every day.

Every work have a bad side, travel a lot is a good thing, but you won’t see your family for long times.

Anyway be a football player is the best work in earth, unfortunately I am a very bad player, so I guess I’ll never be a football player.

A subject I enjoy

In this semester I have to study a lot of subjects, some of those subjects are so boring, but others are so interesting, actually is one subject that I like a lot.

That subject is "Simulación", we have theorical classes and practical classes, in theorical classes I adquire a lot of knowledge about dentistry, and I can answer a lot of doubts that I have in my head.

In practical classes we use the dentistry instrumental in the differents works that teachers gave to us, we gain a lot of skills, and I really felt like a dentist.

Also I can take the main contents that we saw in theorical classes and apply in the many things that we have to do, like cavities, restore teeths, obture cavities, make plaster models, check the oclussion, etc.

I know that "Simulación" is a very exhausting and stressing subject, but is the subject that bring me closer to the really work of a professional dentist, this subject makes me love dentistry, and I enjoy a lot when I got over myself every time that I practice.

Someone I Admire

Someone I admire in my field is Pierre Fauchard (1678 – March 22, 1761), he was a very important  physician credited as being the "father of modern dentistry". 

He was born in a modest home on Saint-Denis-de-Gastines, France in 1678. When he was an adolescent he began to interest in the medicine area. In Angers he began to practice the medicine on the Hospital of the University of Angers. 

Fauchard performed greats developments of dental instruments often adjusting tools of jewelers, watchmakers, even barbers tools. He invents the toothpaste as a treatment against the caries, also he states that the acids derived from sugar cause caries. He was the pioneer of the dental prosthodontics and he develops a lot of methods to replace a missing tooth. Pierre discovered that the position of a tooth can be corrected. 

He invents a lot of other things related with dentistry, but definitely the best improvement that he did is add the dentistry as a important health area, he begans to use the concept of "Dental Surgeon".

To finish he wrote "Le Chirurgien Dentiste", a book where Fauchard edit all his knowledge about dentistry. Thanks to Pierre Fauchard we can study dentistry as a division of the health area, and we can treat a oral disease, not only extract teeth (as the old ways).

The truth or to feel good?

Sometimes we are in situations that make us take a very hard decision: Tell the truth or to feeling good.

Sincerely I always think that it's better tell the truth that make false ilussions, Maybe truth can hurt, but time can heal that pain, and after a time we can accept the truth.

However in some situations we can blend the truth with the feel good, for example when a doctor has to comunicate to a pacient that he has a deadly disease, or when someone tries to breakup with his girlfriend or boyfriend; in that situations we tell the truth, but inmediately we say something to cheer up or to make feel good to the other person.

But it always there is an exception, when we have to tell something to make feel good, or tell lies. A distinct example is when a mother, or sister, or girlfriend put a horrible dress, and she ask to us "do I look fat?" we don't have any other choice, we have to say that she looks great.

I think that maybe sometimes we could tell a "white lie".

A Post-Graduate Course I might do.

 Being honestly I'm don't think about it yet, but if I want to do a post-graduate course I guess that I'll do something amusing or interesting.

Since I was a kid I felt attracted to the forensic topics, because when I watch the TV series like "Detective Conan" or "Escuela de Detectives" l like to solved secrets and discover things with little clues like the protagonists of that series do.

So I think that I`ll do a post-graduate course about forensic dentistry. When I finish the English subject and I be able to speak English fluidly, I would like to go to England to study forensic dentistry, it could be very cool, because if I study on England I would sightsee a lot, and go to all the places that I always want to go, besides I could took a train and go to other countries in a few minutes.

I would like to study face-to-face, because I understand better and pay more atention, I think that if I study online I would not be in a hundred percent of my concentration, in fact I guess that I would be sleeping or playing on my cellphone.

If I have to study something that isn't related with dentistry, I like to study kinesioligy, I guess is a very beautiful career.

Why my profession is special

I think that my future profession is very special, it`s incredible the benefits that give to all the people in the world, when a patient went to a dentist`s office he generally had a sad expression, he is ashamed of show his smile or open his mouth; is incredible the change in that patient after the treatment, he is confident with a beautiful smile. Moreover be a dentist means be integral, had a lot of knowledge in several topics. Other fact is that dentistry requires be more humane and be in empathy whit the patient.

But that's not all, dentistry is very important health area, that means dentistry can detect serious illness only with observe a mouth even we can avert death. Also dentistry provides a lot of valuable information to the science world.

The important thing is that dentistry contribute in a important scope of the society, that is provide of health or avoid the disease in the civilization.

I like to help people, so when I met the dentistry I felt so attracted to that profession, I think that is a beautiful career, we can make important changes.

My Best Holidays!

Is hard to find the best holiday, because I like a lot to go out actually each holiday is my favourite.
But I have to choose the best... So I´m gonna talk about the holidays of 2008 when my parents, cousins, uncles, siblings and I went in a long trip to the south of Chile.

Althought I don´t remember perfectly all the things that we lived, I keep in mind that we went to Frutillar to my uncle Esteban house, we ate a lot of homemade bread, cheese, and drank a lot of milk, we also rode a horse; my little sister found a rabbit, it´s name was Rabito, when we left Frutillar Rabito dissapeared in strange circunstances (I guess my parents don´t like rabbits).

After Frutillar we went to Lago Ranco, we camp at the lakeside, I remember that we had many problems with the tent, when we woke the other day we saw a large warning that said "No camping at the lakeside", we laugh a lot. Then we went to Valdivia, is a very quiet city.




At last we went to Chiloe, I liked a lot because it have a special charm, we camp in a soccer field, in the days we played a lot of soccer with my brothers and in the nights we looked at the stars.
In summary it was a great month, discovering new and beautiful places, and with a lot of fun. I would be the happiest man in Earth if I could repeat that holidays (that´s very difficult).

I also remember the 2004 holidays, when we went to Coquimbo, we had a great time, that was my favourite holidays, but unfurtonately when we returned to Santiago we suffered a terrifying accident, until this day I give thank to God for avoid the dead of some relative.
