Friends

When I look these pictures I feel nostalgia for the happy moment that I lived in Europ with my friends. They were my family and they are always in my mind. Three picture are of my goodbye party, it was in a bar “El Negocito” this is a chilean bar, it is very famous bar in Belgium. In this bar you can find people of different countries and you can eat chilean food like pastel de choclo or empanadas and you can drink pisco sour. It is great. Everyday I went to have dinner to “El Negocito” and later I came back to my home. I sometimes stayed at the bar to listen to concert band. In the first picture I am with a good friend Gerald, he is from Kenia and he is very affectionate and modest person. He was my classmate in the Master. In the second picture I am with my Belgian friends , Koen and Roge, they are propietors of the bar. Koen, bald guy, is a close friend of mine and He helped me too much, for example he gave me his house for two month while he was in another country. The last picture we are in koen’s house. In the third picture I am with my better friend, Yirina and her boyfriend Gio. She is from Cuba, she is a clever, funny and happy person,,,she is dancing all day. I miss too much my friends!!!. Gio is from Brasil, he is a clever guy, he was studying a doctorate. Finally, in the last picture I am with other friends; Douglas, Mariuxi and Valeria, they are from Ecuador. Douglas was like my brother and Mariuxi and Valeria were like my sisters. We lived many good and bad things together. That day, I cooked for them, snails and hot chicken and of course I prepared pisco sour.

Bring on the learning

I think Sir Ken Robinson is a very nice person and happy with his life. Sir Ken Robinson talks about a crisis of human resources and He believes that we make very poor use of our talents. There are people who love they do but it is a minority of people. There are many people who don’t enjoy that they do. He thinks there are many possible explanations for it and one of them is education, because education, in a way, move very many people from their natural talents. He thinks we need a revolution in education and a tranformation with real challenges. I agree with Sir Ken. For example, in our country many people want to have degree, perhaps because they want to earn better salary but perhaps it is not like them, I think it is a problem in Chile, because of, It caused a excessive increase of the number of private Universities and many people unemployed. When I was in Belgium understood this situation, because of I saw that everybody earn a good salary independent of their occupations. They understood that in the society, everybody have different aptitudes and talents and everybody are very important . I think we must teach our children to choose the correct way and It is they enjoy that they do in their lives and they do something with passion, what excites their spirits and energy. I would like to see a real change in education in our country and not only words.
