The past is important

-
Hi everyone!馃憢

When I started studying Social Work at the University, I thought that its subject was social relations and solidarity, but during these years I learned that this isn’t the case. 

I learned that Social Work has an interesting origin from many centuries ago. (For example, since the Industrial Revolution) and that in Chile it started thanks to a group of wealthy women or also, thanks to students from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. 

The central theme of this post isn’t to get bored if in some class we talk about stories that happened a long time ago. Everything from the past is still related to the present and is important for the critical knowledge we are developing.

I'm writing this because I think that nobody is prepared for this. I found it boring for teachers to talk about things from the past, but it left me a lesson. I want everyone to understand this.
 
In conclusion, study what you dreamed of and learn things from the past to be an excellent professional and to be able to change the country where we live, just as our ancestors wanted.✊

Changes to my study programme.

Hello everyone!! I'm studying Social Work. Then, I have always thought that the study programs should be changed, they have many things that in the end are not taken into account at work. I consider that there are many years of studies and a lot of money invested so that in the end it is not worthwhile to apply what has been learned. The program of study of Social Work should include subjects that are relevant to exercise the work in the best possible way. For example, what is the use of teaching philosophy if in the end the social worker will work with contingent social problems. Philosophy in the work field is not valued. The curriculum should have a focus on social relationships and communication with others. It should also have the necessary courses to be able to conduct research in a better way. For example, statistics and research methods. The academic load should not be so extensive or saturated, they have to be as didactic as possible to capture the attention of the student

Traveling outside Chile.

Hello everyone! :D If I had the opportunity to travel to another country, I would like to travel to Brazil. I consider that it has beautiful postcards and beautiful places to visit. I would like to see its beaches, architecture, and its colorful favelas. I really know very little about Brazil. I only know that "Cristo de Redentor" is in Rio de Janeiro, that it is president is called Jair Bolsonario and that he is not afraid of COVID-19. Also, at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Jose Paulo Netto, PhD in Social Service, teaches. I like your contributions to Social Work. If I had the opportunity to go to Brazil (although people say Brazil is dangerous), I would like to walk the streets of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. I would also like to go on exchange and work there to earn money and travel around the country to get to know other realities, different from Chile.

My favorite soccer team.

Hello everyone!! Ever since I was a child I was attracted to soccer, but I didn't understand anything. I only knew that the team I followed was the most popular in the country. The years passed and I learned more about the team. I learned about the championships won, about its history and about its people. Apart from their trophies, I was struck by their history and the relationship they have with social injustices and the working people, because when they win, the country is happier, the bread is crunchier and the coffee sweeter. They also represent the values of the Mapuche people, who are "brave, strong and great" . The idea of the club is to keep their culture and values alive through soccer. The more I learn, the more I like my soccer team. I have become a loyal fan and proudly wear the jersey everywhere I go. I don't miss any matches, every weekend I watch the matches with my grandfather on TV. My favorite soccer team has strengthened relationships with my grand
