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.

My favorite piece of technology

 Technological devices and I don´t get along very well, but if I have to choose a piece of technology, I would choose my cell phone. I have had my cell phone for almost 3 years, I bought it with my first salary working in the field. For the first time it was in my hands how much I was going to spend on buying a cell phone and what characteristics I wanted it to have. I use this device for many things, every day I play on it, I have a game where I have to take care of my farm and complete missions, I also use it a lot to respond and receive emails, to view social media and download university documents. But the most important thing is that the cell phone is my tool to communicate with my family and my loved ones. About 3 times a week we talk on the phone with my parents, and I chat with my sisters every day. This means that I use my cell phone daily, according to the record I have, about four hours a day. I really like my cell phone because it has enough space to have the applicatio...

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.

Important days and dates

 My favorite celebración is Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest is the most popular festival in Germany and one of the most important in te world, being imitated in destinations as diverse as Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Venezuela. This festival has been celebrated in Munich since 1810. This year the festival begins on September 16 and ends on October 3. Oktoberfest is a festival that transports us to Bavaras, its culture, its lederhosen and dirndl, polka music and  of course, its delicious and foamy beer. Local often wear traditional costumes called Tracht´n: woman wear colorful dressed (Dirndl); and men leather pants (Lederhosen) and hats. All beer served at Oktoberfest comes from famous Munich breweries such as Paulaner and Augustiner. There is fantastic local food at Oktoberfest and you should try all the delicacies you can. You can start with the tradicionalWiesn-Hendl (roasted chicken) and some Brezn (a giant pretzel). Admission to Oktoberfest and the tents is free, except for the ...
