I love smart phones because whit them do you can everything!  You can talk to friends or family, helps you schedule your daily routine, you can save photos and videos, you can study, among other things.

What is your opinion about women in the military?

I like that the role of women is changing in society. The woman is no longer seen as weak, but as someone with equal abilities that a man.

What is your opinion about the Chilean politicians?

I don’t like the Chilean politicians, because I think that your interest is the money and not the wellbeing of the chileans, although I can say that there are some that I can highlight, as Gabriel Boric or Giorgio Jackson with which I feel represented. I think we need to renew old Chilean politicians, to also renew the ideas.

What is your opinion about violence on television?

I think that it’s okay if is moderate. Today violence is everywhere, and it is good to be educated about it. The problems are the children, who often do not understand the context and can repeat the behaviors. That is why an adult always should know what children see. I want to add that today violence on television is everywhere, in TV programs, reality shows, in the news, among others, and it is becoming more and more common to see them.

What is your opinion about fortune telling?

Personally, I do not believe in such things, although it would be fun to read my fortune sometime. I believe fate is shaped with the choices we make, but depends on the beliefs of each person.

What is your opinion about soap operas on Chilean TV?

I love watch soap operas Chilean. I think that the Chilean actors act very well and represent very well the drama that they are living. I remember since I was a girl I saw the novels with my mother, from there at least I always see a novel. It's my moment of entertainment in the week, now I'm watching the novel "Perdona nuestros pecados"

 What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana?

I believe it should be legalized but enforced with strong laws the way alcohol. I think that out of all illegal substances it is the mildest. It is even milder than alcohol which is legal.  Also, marijuana has many medicinal and therapeutic uses that can help us as alternative therapy. Finally, I believe that with the legalization would reduce the drug traffic and the quality of the drug it would be better, preventing people from obtaining poor quality drugs.

What is your opinion about climate change?

I think that it’s real and it's the fault of humans. Sadly, our actions are at the expense of our own well-being and the planet and the other animals we share it with, biodiversity will decline because any species that can't adapt well to the change will either reduce or go extinct. I think that we should start the change now and take care of the planet every day, for us, for our future family and for the animals.

What is your opinion about cloning?

I agree if it is used for scientific purposes in benefit of humans or animals, but not when used in experiments that can cause some long-term damage. Unfortunately, I am not so knowledgeable about the subject, the only thing that is that in this moment is wanted to occupy for the recovery of sick people through a cell transplant, and that it’s okay!

What is your opinion about recycling?

I think that at this moment it is very necessary to have recycling techniques in our homes, since our planet is very polluted and it is necessary to clean it off. Personally, I love to recycle and I always try to do it.

What is your opinion about “barras bravas”?

I think that going to the stadium is becoming less familiar and entertaining, and the culprits of this are the so-called " barras bravas" that generate a violent space and makes people afraid to go and see a soccer match. I think they are uncivilized and stupid people.

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?

I am in favor of abortion in all cases, because I believe that the woman has the right to decide on her body and her life. I believe that the woman has the right to be given the possibility of having a safe abortion, regardless of whether she has money or not. In developed countries, abortion is legal.

Your favourite piece of technology

When I was a child I dreamed of I having a computer because I found it very interesting and entertaining .

One day, when I was about 6 years old, my neighbors gave my parents an old computer, that was my first computer. As my parents did not have money to hire internet, I only played with "Paint", "Solitario" and "Buscaminas", but for me it was fine.

When I was about 10 years old my parents hired internet   and  I  f inally  got  to  know  world  of "social networks". I started to occupy Facebook, Fotolog and Msn, wich for me wasvery entertaining, because I could talk to friends or far relatives, besides listening to music, watching videos or just share ideas.

I had my first notebook when I was 14 years old, and for me it has been one of the best gifts ever. I can listen to music, watch videos o movies,study, talk with my friends or my family, keep my photos, among others things. I use it every day and the truth is that I don't know what I would do without it.

Why did you study your career?

When I was a child I dreamed of being Veterinarian, because I loved animals, and although I still do, I took a very different path. 

As I told in my previous blog, It was very difficult to choose a career, because I like the humanist area, and the scientific area. I thought about studying law, but it went a way it time. Also I thought about  engineering, I even I did one summer courses of mathematics in 2013, but I realized that I could not study mathematics all my life. After that year I did one summer courses of chemistry and it was then when I decided to study a career about chemistry.

First I wanted study biochemistry, but finally I decided study chemistry and pharmacy in the university of Chile.

My experience in this career it has been wonderful, everyday I like the most my career. I have also known great friends, which  make my life happy.

In the future I see myself working in the clinical area, because I have always liked help the people. My dream is to be in África  or Haití some day in a mission of health.

So far I hope to continue learning to be come every day a better professional.

Getting to know each other...

Hi friends, my name is María José , i am 20 years old and I am from Talca, although i am living in Santiago in university time. Hereunder I will tell you something about my life
I live whit my parents, my brother and two dogs, Paquito and Pelusa, in Talca. Besides I have another sister who has 3 children , but she lives in Linares.
I studied in school Carlos Spano of Talca to till the eight grade and then i entered to the high school Abate Molina where I graduated in 2015.
When I was in high school, i didn´t  know what to study, because I like very much read, but also I loved  chemistry. Finally I decided to study chemistry and pharmacy in the University of  Chile.
Although I always knew in the university that I wanted to study, it was difficult to make the decision when I postulated, since I knew that it would be complicated to live away from my family and besides they would come economics problems, but always i had the support of my parents.
This is my second year in Santiago, at first it was very difficult, but with the help of my friends from the university and the pension in which I am, it has all been easier.Today I  am a person  grateful for the people that I have by my side
