English Language challenges

To begin with, I want to clarify that English has always been very difficult for me, the truth is I never liked it, I am a person who really doubts if at some point in my life I will really be able to learn the language and form a sentence in my head without problems, at school I was horrible, I always got a lot of anxiety in these classes due to how little I could understand, and the great difficulty I had to do assignments and tests, while I excelled in my other subjects in English it was the worst, well and to this day inside the university it is still the same, I am terrified of having to speak in English, making videos I think it has made me cry more than once from just stress and anxiety, but hey we have to go through the courses, I need to improve many aspects of my English starting with expanding my vocabulary, knowing how to formulate ideas without problems, and dare to speak it without giving me a panic attack, I plan at some point in my life to be able to have a teacher arti

Changes to my study programme

Well, I sincerely believe that the study program for food engineers is excessive, we have many courses that do not really help us to be better professionals in our field, or that are not really adapted for food engineers, because professors from, for example, finance come from other universities who do not really know which subjects are the responsibility of food engineers and which are not, as well as with many other branches that are not specifically prepared for our career, in addition the academic load is horrible, the career is especially long 8 courses by semester, now in a pandemic I feel like I am losing interest, and many teachers are in the same situations and lacking techniques to motivate their students. The truth is that from the day I entered this university, I was disappointed, there are very few teachers that I consider human, and of those few two have died, I think the university lacks a huge amount, they really were teachers, they were teachers, they were teachers, an

Time Travel to the future

Well after watching so many movies, listening to so many podcasts about trips to the future and the past, I think I would, I don't know if I would like to or not, but the intrigue, the doubts of how I will be, if I will be successful in what I want, if we will live in a better world than today, or the world will go into decline as many think, the truth that a trip to the future could guide me to something better when I return, or quite the opposite, who knows could be the destroyer of humanity When changing space and time, there are so many possibilities, but I would definitely do it, I would like to meet myself in 30 more years, see if I am still alive, and if so, what have I done, if I have children, if I am alone, if things have improved If I am happy, which is what I sowed in life, and I would return almost immediately, one or two days, I would not stay any longer in the future, for fear I think, what may happen if I stay longer. The possibilities are endless, I can't imagi

My future job

The truth is, if I could live without working it would be wonderful, my dream is to travel and know, but since this is clearly not possible I must create a job for myself, partly I would like to work in a company either in the area of innovation of food products or of the containers that carry our food, inside a laboratory, travel a lot to learn a lot and have a salary that allows me to live and not survive. In food innovation, because I believe that there should be more alternatives in the market, I know that for you it will sound strange, because we are full of food products but most of these are really toxic for us, they are prepared for our enjoyment and not for our health, although each of us should be concerned about health, we are all clear that the industry is also responsible for overweight and the great damage it has done to people's health. Chile's first step was to make the food sanitary regulation that nowadays requires that food carry emergency labels "high i

Themed Free Post [II]

Free subjects are the most difficult, you never know what to write, on this occasion I think I will tell you about my business, its origin and what I hope for the future. Well, first my name is Javiera Salas and I have been an entrepreneur for a very little while, I dedicate myself to making personalized agendas and notebooks, this was born first of the need to have a source of income in a pandemic and secondly to be able to distract myself from my university obligations with something that I really like it and I like it, my business has the name of "KAI PAPELERIA" you can find me on Instagram if you feel like it, this venture is an escape for me for my mind, and it contributes a lot to my mental health, because I needed something else to do that was not related to the university that was productive, I always need to be doing some activity either for university or for my business. What I hope for the future is to be able to continue with my venture, to grow a lot and to be ab

Themed Free Post

This time I will write about a topic that has attracted a lot of attention in my career and that very little is said about monocultures and biodiversity. Because 80% of all the cultivated hectares are monocultures that are defined as a system of agricultural production of great extension, in which the planting of only one type of crop is carried out. Similar genetic characteristics, all the methods used in this crop are identical, irrigation, fertilizer, light, harvest time, among others. These are very delicate compared to when promoting biodiversity within crops, avoiding or reducing: weed infestations, insect invasions, disease epidemics and the effect of climate change on the production of raw materials. In addition to this, biodiversity promotes efficiency in the use of resources, productivity, optimizing biomass harvests, promoting pollination and soil health. Finally, monocultures are associated with high levels of production, and the little importance that the environment has i

The best holidays

My best vacations have been without a doubt my first trip outside of Chile. Our destination was Peru, our goal to live an unforgettable experience and I think we achieved it, we traveled practically from north to south of this beautiful country, for 19 days, we went to Mancora, Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu among others, I lived this adventure together with two college classmates, the three of us were on the same page, enjoying and experiencing the culture of the country firsthand, we never went to an expensive restaurant, only to the local markets where all the people in the area went, it was really wonderful. It has been the best vacation of my life because it has been the first time that I have felt completely free, the emotions won me more than once, the happiness that I experienced was different from any other, everything turned out so perfect, I think the same angels always accompanied us. Everything turned out even better than we expected, we met wonderful people with whom at least

A country you would like to visit

  For me it is difficult to answer this question, because I really would like to know every country in this world, it is so comforting to live the experience of visiting another country, to be able to talk with the locals, listen to them, the history comes to life in them, to be able to soak up everything that it means to visit a new place, but if they made me choose one of my favorites places to go would be Switzerland, because there is a small town called Murren which I have always wanted to go since I was a child, since they visited this place on a television channel. It is the town closest to the Swiss Alps, the beauty of those landscapes is unbelievable , I would love to be able to live in this place, but if that is not possible, I would be happy with the fact of being able to visit the city, it would be a dream come true to be able to work in such a beautiful place, I think I'd be living in a dream I think the biggest conflict is that there are practically no cars, no motoriz
