The reason why I am not a Typical Woman

Gender stereotypes is a very controversial topic these days due to feminist protests that have challenged these stereotypes. The role of women in society has changed over time.

When I was a child, I imagined my future as a doctor and working independently. I did not imagine myself as a housewife. Currently, I do all kinds of house works because that makes me an independent person, but I´m not going to dedicate myself to that all my life. 

I always liked studying. My dream was to enter university. At school, I had good marks but some teachers told me that I wrote ugly, like a man. I was surprised, but I did not change my writing because I am left-handed and it made me feel better to write like that. 

In the case of my family, my mother and my grandmother taught me to be an independent woman. My grandmother widowed when she was forty years old and had three children. She had to build a house and a mini-market to pay for the education of her children. She was mother and father at the same time.

The older siblings of my mother left and she stayed to live with my grandmother, both worked together to get ahead. My mother worked for five years in a shopping centre and then went to study design in haute couture. She has a very strong character, and some people have told her that she has the character of a man. But in the same time she is very elegant woman and her work is very feminine.

Then I understood that the gender stereotypes are still very marked in our society but my family taught me that we can do all kinds of things and not limit ourselves.  We must change this stereotypes.  

A Photografh Story

This photografh was taken in December 2013, at that time I was sixteen years old. In this picture I am in a Gala Concert of the youth symphony orchestra of Padre Hurtado and I play a violin solo. I was an incredible experience for me because it was my firts violin solo. The theme was the Tango Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel. I practised for six months because Tango is dificult to play and requieres a lot of skill and passion. I choose this theme because it represents the instrument; is elegant, passionate, complex, very connected with feelings. All my family went to see me. The teather was full of people, however, I was very quiet. 

My mother made the dress for me, because she is high fashion designer. The dress was long and black, similar to the costume of the Tango Dancers. It also looked sexy. 

At that moment I felt calm but anxious. When I started playing, I began to feel more confident and calm. Finally the solo sounded really good. In fact, at the end of the concert they asked me to repeat the song. The whole audience applauded, it was a gift to all my effort and dedication. 

In January of this year I began to rehearse the Concert in A minor of Vivaldi. I´m going to perform at the Gala Concert in January of 2019. I´m very excited. 

My Opinion About Abortion

The Abortion is the most controversial theme in Chile. The debate of his Legalisation had extended for many years because our country is one of the most conservative respect of that. The different point of view between the people that believe the abortion is a murder, influenced mainly for church, in opposition to the people that is more liberal and believed that is the mother decision. In august of 2017 the government approved the law that allow the practise in some cases like: When the mother´s life is at risk, when the fetus will not survive and in case of rape. Although is a legal practise, even had a restrictions. 

In the history of Chile, the therapy abortion was permitted by the Health Code in 1931 but was abolished by the military dictatorship on September 15, 1989. Arguing that due to advances in medicine it was no longer justifiable. This facts enable to us that in our country the abortion it was done for a long time, in a therapeutic way, but is a reality.

 My suggestions for improvement this law is train and educate doctors in this procedures, improve the hospitals and clinics with appropriate instrumentals and pavilions. Educated the people and understand that is not a tabu theme. Is a reality and a right of woman.

I Believe that the abortion is decision of the mother and cannot be influenced by religion or prejudice. The woman is owner of her body and is able to decide if she can give a decent life to her son. Our Country should be more aware of this issue, in this way people will understand its importance for our society.

My Favourite Technological object

Personally, I´am not aware of technological advances. But, I recognize that the technological advances have changed our lives. In the orchestras are very conservative and has very little technological advances. One of my favourite object when I play the Violin is the Digital Tuner. In 2008 my father gave me a turned when I started studying music.
The Tuner is placed in the on the upper bout or in the scroll of the violin. I play a string with the bow and the tuner indicates if it is tuned or not.  I use the violin tuner every time I practice and when I have a concert. I like to use because facilitated the study and avoids that the tunning of the instrument be incorrect. The tuning is very important in the orchestra because the concertino (the principal violinist) is in charge of tuning all the instrument of the orchestra, and because of that the tuning must be perfect!
Without this object, tuning would be a more time-consuming and complex process.

The reason that I study Dentistry

I love to study dentistry very much, but throughout all these years I have had some different ideas to choose a career. When I was a child I wanted to become a doctor, but at the same time I like science. I had a laboratory in my room and created "potions" to help people, like medication. I wrote a book about my research of plants and flowers in my garden, I drew the different forms of leaves, trees, so much nature. In one occasion, I pretended to be a dentist with a teddy bear. And I liked it so much.

In 2011 I made a list with all careers in Chile, I was undecided and had curiosity for entering a university. In my options i had pharmaceutical chemistry, medical technology, architecture (I liked to draw buildings and constructions), graphic design and obviously dentistry. I didn't like the idea to study law or engineering. 

I decided to study dentistry because you can incorporate the studies of science in many areas, like biology, microbiology, pathology, physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, histology, among many others. But also odontology has the manual dexterity, is the artistic part in my opinion. I can do a lot of research and different lab tasks. And the most important thing is we can help people. Odontology has everything that I like. 

My experience at university has been so good. I know many people with the same interests like me and the university has the vision that we can improve dental health in Chile, and especially the public health, that was very impressive to me because we had so much responsibility in the future decisions of our country.  

The kind of job that I like is restorative dentistry but also i like teaching. 

My Autobiography

I was born in Santiago, Chile on July 14th, 1997. My family is composed of my father Fernando, my mother Gaby (Yes, Gaby no Gabriela), my grandma Eliana and my little brother Martín, he is my best friend. I was born in Nuñoa but all my life I live in Padre Hurtado, is a little town located in the south of Santiago. First, I studied at catholic school called Benjamín Vergara up to 2011, then I went to Terraustral Oeste of 2012 up to 2015, I had good grades but I don´t like my classmates. In 2016 I study in a Preuniversitario "Pedro de Valdivia", and finally in 2017 I Can study Dentistry at University of Chile, is a dream come true for me. My brother Martín studies in a special school in Peñaflor, because he had  problems to communicate and speak, but he is amazing drawing and painting, specially cars and motorbikes. 

I have so much hobbies, like runing, listening music(my favourite is a classical music), painting landscapes, waching movies (my favourite are Star Wars movies) and playing the Violin. I started in 2008, when I have 11 years old, with a particular teacher. Actually I play in a Juvenile Orchestra in Padre Hurtado. We have many concerts in a different places, such a "Palacio de la Moneda" and the "Movistar Arena" in a National encounter of juvenile Orchestras, the best moment in my life. I play in a different events such a marriages, baptism, graduations, inaugurations, I enjoyed so much and I meeting so many friends that, like me, play classical instrument.

One of my dreams is become to a doctor and the same time study music, I can´t live without art and music. I believe that the sciences and arts can complement and both are important in the education and in the life.
