POST3: MY DREAM JOB

My dream job would be to be a social worker, in a social organization that focuses on helping vulnerable people and communities. Specifically, I would like to work in the field of children or gender.

In the area of children, I would like to work to protect children and young people from abuse and neglect. On the other hand, in the area of gender, I would like to work on support services for victims of domestic violence, including emotional support, counselling and help in obtaining resources and safety services. 

To carry out this work requires the ability to apply the theories and methodologies taught depending on the social context in which one wants to intervene, communicating effectively with localities, advocating for rights and promoting social change.

The salary of a social worker may vary according to the type of employer, whether it is a private, public or non-profit organization. The average salary of a social worker in Chile is $900,000.

I am currently studying social work. I chose my career mainly because I like the idea of working directly with people and trying to solve their problems. Now that I am in my second year, I have realized how important it is in society, promoting social change and development.

BLOG POST 2: THE BEST CONCERT EVER

The best concert I have ever attended was that of "Los Bunkers" on 12 March 2023 at the Santa Laura stadium, for their return to the stage on their Ven Aquí tour.

Los Bunkers is a Chilean alternative rock band, specifically from Concepción, which emerged in 1999 and in 2014, announced an indefinite break. During the social outburst of 2019, they had a small reunion to participate in the mobilisations with their protest songs. Finally, in 2022 they announced their return with two concerts in Santiago in 2023.

The atmosphere at this concert was wonderful, as everyone was happy about their return and there were people of all ages. I had a great time at this concert, as I was in the arena section and close to the stage. I was jumping a lot with the audience and singing at the top of my lungs. It was a unique experience and I would repeat it a thousand times.

 I remember that the times when my excitement was at its peak, was when they approached the audencie and Alvaro Lopéz starded dancing.

BLOG POST 1: A COUNTRY YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

 Blog post: A country you would like to visit

Hello, it is really difficult for me to choose just one country out of all the ones I want to visit, as I consider myself a person who always likes to visit new places. But if I have to choose one, it would be Greece, specifically Skópelos and  the other Greek islands. 

To be honest, this last time I have been a bit obsessed with the movie "Mamma mia", which is one of my favorite movies. This movie was filmed mainly in Skopelos and other islands. I found this island so beautiful that i starded to do some research on it.

The paradise island of Skopelos is located in the Aegean Sea in the Sporades archipelago. It is characterised by its many green areas, emerald green waters and white sandy beaches. Obviously what I would like to do in this place would be to swim in those crystal clear waters, visit the villages and their architecture, get to know some of the myths and legends of the area.  All this in the company of Abba's songs.

I don't think I would like to live or study there. First of all I don't know Greek, and lastly, I like Chile as a place to pursue my career.
