The 33 miners

When I Knew that the miners were trapped I thought immediately that they were died. Many days went by and I had less hope that the men would be still alive. I was disappointed of the rescuers, saint and religious beliefs. I think in the current time it is difficult to believe in God and in that moment I lost the faith. I was angry with mine’s owner. My opinion changed when I knew the news about they are alive. For me it was a miracle. I hope that the miners will be rescued as soon as possible. I think the miners are men very valiant and they have much strength. When they can be outside the mine, the miners deserve to be happiness with their family and to have a good holiday.
The family of the miners has had an important role from the beginning, because of if the family had not been present, maybe the rescuing would be slower.
I hope that the miners have patience and emotional strength to bear the time underground. Now, they are under medical control, anti-depression and anxiety drugs may be able to help them but hope will be the most important survival tool for the rest. At the US air force survival school in Washington, they teach the so-called Rule of Three. You can live three minutes without oxygen; three days without water; three weeks without food. But you will only last three seconds without hope. This is a good life lesson.

200 years of Independence!!

September is a nice month of the year. Trees bloom, days are longer, temperatures increased, nature wakes up and all that create a happy atmosphere. If we add to that the bicentennial celebrating so we are many reason for feel us well. I like very much to celebrate the Independence Day and this year it is special because of our country will be 200 years old. I like our festivities called Fiestas Patrias, the folklore; music and dance and the food like empanadas and anticuchos. I think the bicentennial celebrating will be great but it is important that we does not forget to be responsible, for example we must not drive under the influence of alcohol.
In 200 years our country has had a important development, however Chile exist still poverty and too much injustice. The new generations and we have many things to do to create a better country.
I hope that the patriot spirit does not finish with Fiestas Patrias and it always remain. We prefer or value many times, products from other countries like clothes, music or culture, etc. and we have to learn to value our culture, traditions, people and respect us.
For this Fiestas Patrias I will be with my family, my parents, my nephews, my brother and sister and my boyfriend. I will try not to eat and drink in excess, but I don't promise anything. Maybe I am a superficial person but those days will be my holidays and I only want to fly a kite and to rest all day.
