The leap, From High School to University🤘🤪🦾🧠✨

 

The leap from school to university brings many personal challenges in my opinion, but don't be afraid, on the contrary, it's part of a learning process that we all must go through.

Some of the challenges are: adapting to a new way of studying, since you have to learn more difficult concepts and procedures, you have to develop techniques that allow you to self-manage your work. Another challenge is to make new friends, technically we leave a bubble and come to a more diverse context, where you have to integrate and resolve conflicts with very diverse people. Another challenge is to organize our time very well.

Generally, universities have a group of professionals who help you choose the right study method for you, and accompany you in the first years, there are also tutorials in the fields that require it.

As advice I always say that you should not be afraid to ask for help, sometimes you are very demanding with yourself and sometimes you even make the mistake of feeling ashamed to ask for it, but no! It is the best thing you can do. We are not machines of the system, college should not ruin your mental health, if you feel pressured take a break, we are not in a competition of who gets there first.

Chilean Church in Crisis 🌈🔥

The time when the Chilean Church was in crisis due to cases of sexual abuse committed by priests marked me deeply. They were episodes of violence that, in some cases, went back several decades.

When the burning of churches took place, the written press dealt with this event by highlighting facts linked to violence, insecurity, terrorism and public order in general, instead of offering a historical or social understanding of the phenomenon. There is a wound in Chilean men and women that the Chilean State has not been able to heal, and it is that the mere fact of thinking that Karadima died in total impunity makes me justify such acts of violence.

I believe that the Chilean Catholic Church should be willing to review its past and tell the whole truth.

I am not a believer, and I consider myself ignorant with the universe of religions that exist. However, I respect each one of them and I think it is very good that people find in it, a light that helps them to be the best version of themselves, among other things.

Healthcare system in $hile😷☠ (pandemic version)

With a social and political crisis in between, these last few years have made me reflect a lot about the system as a whole, coming to the conclusion that; when one thinks that nothing can be worse, one is wrong, because everything can be even worse xd, Welcome to the $HILE say around there.

Since the first covid-19 contagion, government policies took an erratic strategy to combat it, not always in tune with the epidemiological dynamics of the infection nor with the economic, social and cultural conditions of Chileans.

The measures were:

-Implementing a series of economic measures that delivered money to a defined group of people without guaranteeing that they reached SMEs.

-As for the workers, they didn't consider that a large part of the Chilean working class is employed in informal jobs, is self-employed or does not have a permanent contract, therefore the money didn't reach everyone.

 -Companies could arbitrarily dismiss their workers because of the health crisis, or force them to resort to the funds accumulated in the unemployment insurance.

Workers were exposed to a double pandemic: health and economic subsistence.
