“Tales of passion”

For my part did not know much about Isabel Allende, all I knew is that it is a national writer, but when but when I saw the talk of her I saw  a passionate person with -for me-good idealisms.

In the video “tales of passion” she talks about sexism and how this has affected us we women, I find that this is a big problem to solve because ¿how is it possible that just being a woman is believed to have less or no rights compared to men?, we are also people, we have the same capabilities as men, I find that this kind of thinking is unfortunate because many women have suffered because of this way of thinking ,they believe us the “weaker sex” and unfortunately this makes horrible things happen as rape, beatings, murders, among other things. Isabel talks about this issue, giving significant examples like Rose Mapendo and her nine children who struggle to keep them alive a woman beaten by her husband just because she did not come home on time to prepare food, and she wants it to stop, we can unite, give greater importance in the political world, she wants to make this world good and agree with it, we can do something to make this abuse on women stop.

I think that in Chile this still continues being a topic about which to speak ,in the workplace women get less salary than men, when she becomes pregnant is fired or can not work because she has to care for the children. It also happens that only have the "slave" in the house, taking care of the children, to cook, wash clothes, and unfortunately they have pairs who on having seen that they do not realize these things are beaten.

I hope that these atrocities and injustices against the woman stop and let's be a better world as Isabel Allende said.

My first month at the FAU.

My family always supported me for my decision to study architecture but they sometimes told me I had more options, but I didn't have others options so I didn’t know what to do. 

I decided study architecture because for me was interesting the focus they have about the career and I wanted to know more about it but sometimes I doubted because I believe I would not do well so I did not know what to do but finally I decided to study because I didn’t want to repent.

My first month was difficult to me because I am from Temuco, so was difficult not see my family and move to the city. I live in this moment with my dad so it is not that bad live here but I miss my mom and my brother. I expected to see them more in the future.

I feel in the first month a little nervous because I didn't know what I expected but I think it's a good place. The FAU for me has been interesting, I don't feel boring but a days is tiring because of the projects or homeworks.

The positive things to me in my opinion is the ambient and the people of the faculty, and the classes are fun and I learning so much here.

But the negative aspects I thing is the money because I have to buy expensive materials and sometimes I have to bring many things so it is difficult to be transported here.

But I believe I need to organizate more so I can do my projects and study with more time.

At the moment I feel comfortable here although at times not so much and I hope to stays that way and I want to meet more people, learn more and others things.
