A person on my field that I admire

 Hereunder, I´m going to write about a teacher that I had in basic education, who inspired me to follow this path of education in the area of mathematics. She only taught me for a year, which was enough to change my perspective, her name is Fresia Quezada. Currently, she is a retired teacher; approximately 7 years ago she stopped practicing her profession. Throughout her career, she worked in municipal schools, she believed that municipal education should be free and of the same quality as that of private schools.

When I joined the establishment where she worked, apart from teaching classes, she was also head of PTU (Pedagogical Technical Unit). At first, I didn´t like her at all, she had a very strong character, it seemed like she was always angry and her voice was so loud that it always seemed like she was screaming. I remember that it bothered her that they interrupted her while she was teaching classes, because she found it disrespectful. I remember that one day I had to go to the room where she was beacuse they sent me to ask for the class book, she opened the door with a bad face and gave me a lecture about de rudeness of interrumpting for something that could wait, but What was i going to say to her! They had only sent me.

Then, when it was my last year at that school, she was destined to be my math teacher, and at that moment I understood why it bothered her so much to be interrupted.

Her classes were not only focused on mathematics, she also mixed it with language and she was interested in the path we wanted to continue. She was one of the teachers who trusted in my abilities, she encouraged me to participate in extracurricular activities and not to link being good at mathematics with studying engineering. She showed me the world of pedagogy and she was the only teacher I had who spoke of pedagogu as a career that she recommended.

Today, I still have contact with her, and I feel that it is my responsability to fill the shoes that she left in that establishment.

    There are always inspiring teachers, who don't just teach their subject and help us with important decisions.

Who am I?

Hello everyone! My name is Jazmín Poblete, I was born in Curicó and I moved to Santiago when I started university, or at least that was the plan, my first year of university coincided with the pandemic, so I postponed my trip for two years. I study pedagogy in mathematics and physics, it was never in my plans to study in another region, until I realized that I needed to start over. My family is made up of my father and his five puppies, he lives in the country. On the other hand, there are my two sisters, who are twins, my mother and three puppies, they live in the city. My sisters and I are very close, we love to sleep together, watch series and eat. The three of us have a flower name! I love dogs, eating French fries and getting to know new places. I haven't eaten meat for about 5 years, animals are very important to me, I would like to be vegan, but I love milk and butter very much! When I finish university, I would like to return to my hometown and work in different places in t...

Write About A Photograph That Is Meaningful To You

 I chose this photograph that my mother took to me one day when I came to my home with a headache. It was one day after school, I felt so bad that I went to bed. It seems that at that moment our little dog Melody came into the room and lay down next to me. My mother says that she came uo to see how I felt and that she saw us so comfortable, that she took that photo of us. This photo is special to me because I feel that it represents fidelity and unconditional love. Characteristics very difficult to find and even more difficult for a photo to capture them. Melody always went everywhere with my mother, but at that moment, when I felt bad, Melody was with me. She was very attentive to our emotions, she knew when we needed containment or company. Melody passed away 4 years ago, October 25 will mark 5 years of death. Unfortunately she left my side two days before my birthday, I still can't believe how the years go by and her departure still hurts me. She was extraordinary, I know we all...

Where I come for?

Currently I live in Santiago. I have lived here since 2022. I decided to come here to study away from my family, to be an independent person. To live in Santiago has been a big challenge, because I didn´t know anyone in that city. However, I don´t regret coming to live here, because I have learned to manage the money and solve my problems alone. When I am finished studying, I would like to come back to live in Curico and to be able to practice my profession close to the people I love. I often miss my family, my pets and the tranquility of my city, but I am afraid of missing my freedom and the new people I have met in this big city.
