Hello, today I am going to talk about my ideal job. I don’t know exactly what my ideal job would be; however, I know that I would like to work with children and teenagers. I always have wanted to help to children in social risk, who don’t have had the same opportunities than many of us. Usually, their families are disintegrated and their social context is bad. I think that through the Educational Psychology and the Social Psychology I could contribute to solve this problem. Some places to work are children’s homes, drug treatment centers, and schools. Another option is to work in Clinical Psychology helping to children and teenagers in my consult. The skills and qualities that I need are patient, creativity, charisma, imagination, empathy, tolerance; forget the prejudices, and others. I think that I have some of these skills, especially, I have good connection with children and I have creativity to play with them. I think that the most important quality is to have the motivation to help them. The main difficult that I could find is to get a job in this field, because, it isn’t a required field by the market like Labor Psychology. Also, probably I am going to have to get another job parallel because the salary in this kind of job is low.

Ken Robinson


Hello, today I am going to talk about the conference of Ken Robinson. Essentially he talks about the creativity and how the education limits it. Everyone is creative; however, the school promotes the formation of rational individuals, giving more importance to the development of the intellect than the development of the creativity. The education should have to consider other subjects different than mathematics and languages like music, art, dance, and others, that let the rational and creative development of the people. The ideas of Robinson are very connected with the state of the Chilean education, which also is focussed to form people according with the capitalism system, giving preference to the rational subjects and rational careers. The people are formed to produce to the market and the education contributes to the reproduction of the inequalities that the capitalism generates. Creativity is a very important tool because it let us be holistic people and it let us see the life from an original perspective.

Hello! Today I am going to talk about my favourite subject. We have had many interesting subjects this semester. I like all them!! But my favourite subject this semester has been Educational Psychology…it has been taught by the Miss Paulina Castro and the teacher Jesus Redondo. I like them for many reasons. First, I would like to work with children in the future and the Educational Psychology is directly in contact with them. Also, I am very interested in social problems like poverty, children in social risk, delinquency and others, which are in relation with the work of educational psychologist, especially, in the public schools. The education is a very important problem which involves everyone. In general, I have learned very much this semester. All subjects have had a practical orientation that shows us how we can apply our knowledge to the reality. Also, all these subjects are in relation with the specializations that we will have to study the next semester. It is very good!

My future...


Hello, I am going to talk about my future…Uf!! I want to do many things in my future!, but I don’t know if I will achieve to do all these things. In five years from now I hope to be working in my career. I don’t know specifically in what area, because there are many fields that I love. I like the Clinical Psychology (I would like to work doing cognitive behavioral therapies); I like the Legal Psychology (I would like to work with victims) and I like the Social Psychology (I would like to work with poor children). Also, I want to do researches in Experimental Psychology. Then, I would like to study Theatre or a specialization of my career. I hope to work in these two careers at the same time. I want to live some years in Santiago and then I hope go to live to the South of Chile, both things with my boyfriend. Ideally, in ten years from now I would like to travel to many places with my boyfriend. I would like to continue sharing with him and my family. Essentially, I hope to continue being happy everyday… 
