My future

For me, it is very difficult to think that I will do in 7 years when a few years ago didn't know what career to choose... so I have several options:

• I would like to specialize in any area of physical therapy, such as because I find it very dynamic, useful and effective in combating serious respiratory illness often become fatal in children. On the other hand I am also interested in the area of rehabilitation and this is essential when treating patients in critical condition and who need to recover motor function. Whatever my choice with respect to a specialization, I would like to work with multidisciplinary teams for best results in rehabilitation in Public Health Center
• Another option that is also of interest to me is to continue studying or doing postgraduate in anthropology and archeology, as the study of man in his integrity and evolution is a subject that has interested me since child. I would like, whatever my decision, have a salary that allows me to maintain a lifestyle suited to my demands, and in terms of hours I would like to work the necessary even if it means much effort.

Also, I would like to continue my studies (present or to come), if possible, outside the country because this way I can get different knowledge and insights regarding discipline and other cultures.

Finally, when deciding that I do, it will be with greater confidence and conviction in order to practice my profession in the best possible way to help people as I can, what has always been the reason of my decision.

Prevention in the physical therapy

The prevention aims to prevent the emergence of risks to health of the individual, family and community. Involves acting in advance so that a problem does not appear or, if necessary, to lessen its effects.
In this regard, exist the medicine preventive. This consists of:
1.-Primary prevention: is the set of health activities performed by both the community and governments and the medical personnel before the appearance of a certain disease.
2.-Secondary prevention involves a screening program from a serious illness or early-stage.
3.-Tertiary prevention: the restoration of health once the disease has appeared. Applying a treatment to try to cure or mitigate a disease or a certain symptoms.
4.-Quaternary prevention: is the set of health activities that mitigate or avoid the consequences of unnecessary or excessive intervention of the health system

Now, what is the physical therapy I think its importance is set to the prevention of disease and education about good health. In education, that's when the physical therapist must act, especially when teaching children and that in this way would develop a culture of good health. One of the most important things to be taught to avoid is a sedentary lifestyle, because this leads to diseases that can be fatal.
Another way to have the physical therapists to prevent disease is through Ergonomics, a specialization that is responsible for adapting the Job to the needs and limitations of people.

♀ & ♂

When we think in many decades past, we realize that the role of women was very limited. First it was very strange to study and not think about work. Her work revolved around domestic work and childcare. Also freedom of thought and action was very limited. On the other hand, men had more freedom to think and do what they want. They could work, study, and nobody said anything. The man was in charge of supporting the family.
If you ask me about family relationships and romantic relationships of those times, in my opinion, many of them were keeping only by tradition or appearance... Although there are exceptions.
But these days, the role of women and men has changed considerably for the better. The woman study, works and has an important role in society, man will increasingly involved in childcare and household tasks are shared between them. Although about this, there is still much to advance.
With that, I believe that relations between women and men have been improving since they are in an environment of respect and equality.
When I think about the contribution of each in physical therapy, I don't see big differences but can say that the inherent characteristics of both sexes are reflected in the work of each.

Food ♥

The food is one of the things I love most in the world. I prefer mainly fruits, vegetables, and general things "healthy" althoughon sometimes I eat junk food. For me this is very addictive so I try to eat a few times to avoid problems with my weight.
Now, if we talk about favorites food dishes,I think that any of those that are prepared by my mom. For example: Spaghetti. Until now, I don't know food that I don't like.
Really, I have not the faintest idea where you can go to eat in Santiago outside the common fast food's places...I know, I'm a bit ignorant.
I feel guilty when I eat too much or when I eat cookies, candy, chocolate or junk food when they really should not do.
As a student I think it is necessary and essential eating a balanced diet (fruits, vegetables, meat, cereals, etc.) and in appropriate portions, order to have an adequate nutritional intake based on proteins, vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates to enable a proper functioning of the body.
In my opinion, the junk food is and will be the main enemy of good health.
My perfect diet would consist mostly of vegetables, fruits, grains and some meat.
