Blog 1. Why do you think voting is important?



Hello everyone, I hope you find yourselves very well.

There is no doubt that to vote makes us the main character of the democratic system, since it allows

the people to freely express their will at the polls. It is evident that the evolution of democracy in our

country and in the world through universal suffrage has been a tool to maintain the legal order. If the

system does not work as an effective tool and if the people perceive that their needs are not covered,

they will in some way express this to the authorities.

In my opinion, what has harmed us the most in the democratic process in Chile is the Constitution of

1980, which became a true "straitjacket" in relation to the changes that our country needed in these forty

years and that has led to have a major social crisis such as the social outbreak that occurred on October

18th , 2019. In these demonstrations, the discontent of the people with the neoliberal economic model

was expressed, the social and economic inequality, the abuses of power and the cases of corruption

caused thousands of people to take to the streets to express their discontent.

Currently, direct consultations with the people, such as plebiscites, have complemented the democratic

system and the ballot.

The right to vote is one of the most important freedoms as individuals, it guarantees that we have a

voice and that we are listened to and when this does not happen the people are responsible for reminding  it.

My father suffers from diabetes melitus and the disease is in an advanced stage, deteriorating his sight, hearing and blood circulation in his legs, which makes it difficult for him to walk. My father is a retired teacher and at the time he was in the private health system, Isapre, when he retired he moved to the public health system Fonasa. This year my parents have come to live with me to be more supported and I have been able to experience that the public health system does not cover all the need of the patient, some of the medical consultations we have had to do them privately because in the public system sometimes there is much delay, the office only provides us with some of the medicines that he ingests othe...

Blog 4 Education.

Hello dear readers. I would like to tell you that I am a cellist and on the subject of education, I would like to tell you about my training at a conservatory in France. At the time of my studies, the subjects I studied were the essential ones for musical and instrument training, theoretical subjects such as solfège, harmony, analysis, chamber music, orchestra, among others, giving priority to hours of practice and personal study on the instrument. When I arrived in Chile I immediately started working in orchestras and teaching in different projects of youth orchestras and schools, but over the years I realized that it was very necessary to complement my musical studies and thus obtain a degree in a Chilean university to then have the option of accessing a master's degree which is what I intend to do after obtaining my professional degree at the University of Chile. The curriculum of the university course is very complete because there are a series of subjects that complement the m...
