Hi everyone! This semester my favorite subject at the University is "Work and social exclusion". The time of this subject is every Thursday since half past two until six in the office 411 of the Department of Psychology. In the class, we sit in a circle with the teacher Gloria Zavala and comments news of the last week connecting the theory with the different news, generally, we talk a lot about of national contingency and our exclusion experiences in the present neoliberal system. Every class is a complete discover about the market work in Chile and their consequences in the mental health of different persons.

Hi everyone! I feel that my teachers of secundary in general are very good, but specially my teacher of Philosophy mister Delfy Sánchez shown greatness. He studies Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Valparaíso, then he starts teching classes in my school in 2010, and four years later he was my head teacher for two years, at the present he teaching class in a public school of Valparaíso. The reason I mention this particular teacher is because he teaching us about importance of express emotions with my classmates and teacher, for this activity my teacher all the class makes circles with chairs and we sitting in this circle, consequently with my classmates learn about ourseleves. In addition the relationship between us improved a lot and we joined a lot as a course. My teacher understood that it was necessary to learn to live in community. My classmates and me learned very much. To this day we comment on how much we learned with that teacher, for this reason I am very grateful. Once in a while I going to visit him to the public school in Valparaiso. Best regards, Enrique.

Post 4: My favorite festivity

Hi everyone! My favorite holiday is the new year of the indigenous peoples of South America, celebrated the third or fourth week of June, this holiday is celebrated because on that date is the winter solstice in the soutern hemisphere, date in which the day begins to be more long. The celebration lasts a week, in which different rites are performed (depending on the indigenous people). In general, in the indigenous peoples of South America the new year is celebrated on this date because te time begins when the day begins to be longer, so the harvest season begins. Mainly the agricultural sense of this holiday, also applies to the spirit that begins to "bloom" in this era. For this date I go to the Mapuche community that is near to my house in Quilpué, where different ceremonies are held to attract good spirits and the night from Saturday to Sunday we stay up all night awake eating sopaipillas and celebrating the new cycle that begins. I like this festivity because since I was a kid I can go and talk with many people, besides I dont like that the day is so short in the fall, I really enjoy summer. This festivity generates much more sense than others, due to the comunity that is generated among different people. Many greetings, ENrique.
