Sigmund Freud

Hello everybody!

I'm gonna talk about Sigmund Freud, the precursor of psychoanalisis.

He is the founder of this school, and proposed unconscious as the most important concept to study human mind.

I like because he used his clinical experience to create a new theory that revolutionized the psychology of his era. It was dominated for behaviourism, that used the positivism to validate its theories. Psychoanalisis doesn't use scientist method. All the knowledge come from the verbalization that pacients make about their problems and conflicts.

I don't know if this theory really explain people's psychic conflicts and behavours, but oral therapy has achieved great results. That's why psychoanalisis remains highly considerated in psychology.

My career!

I study psychology, because I think it's a beautiful career. We can help people to resolve their problems, and we can learn form them. Also, we can work in lot of places, just like hospitals, schools, etc.

I like psychology because we can meet different people, everyone has had opposite lives, so the ways we can help them to answer their questions, for example, in clinic therapy, are very differents, so it constitutes a big challenge for us. Also, I like we interact directly with patients. We can see them, so we can intuit about their trouble. In some cases, it's a horizontal relation, or a vertical relation, but the most important is the interaction.

Sometimes, people devaluates to psychologists. They think we are unnecessary, because everything we do is listen to them, just like a best friend. Obviously, that's a part of the process, but our work is much more than that. I think that's what I don't like.

In the future, I hope I achieve becoming a great psychologist, for my patients and for my colleagues. I'd like to contribute to psychology's development too.

A beautiful photograph

This is one of my favourite photographs, because my best friend is with me, and we were on our classtrip, in Bariloche.

I don't remember very well the exact place where this photograph was taken, but I think it was a little square near the hotel. It was our first day there, so we had just begun to visit some places.

We stayed there for four days, so we spent our time in different ways. In the day, we walked around the city. We visited a little mall, a lot of liquor and chocolate stores, because these are typical of Bariloche, handycraft free markets, parks, and even a chocolate factory. We skated on ice too. At night, we went out every night. We went to some discos, pubs, and the last day, we went bowling.

I hope I can repeat this moment, because it was great. We enjoyed every little time together and I think this travel strengthened our friendship

Obviously, this is one of the memories that I will never forget.

My most precious possession

My most precious possession is Pelusa. Pelusa is a teddy bear that my father gave me when I was born.
"She" is pink, and so beautiful. She has been with me since I was born, so she has been present in every important moment of my life.
When I was a little girl, she was always invited to her teddy bear friends's birthday. After, when I needed to cry, she was the one who comforted me, and when I wanted to laugh, she was in my arms to laugh with me.
Three years later, my brother was born, and with him, arrived at house his teddy bear. He is a beautiful panda, and together, we have live through our lives.
A few time ago, she suffered an accident. My mother putted in the washing machine and her noise got lost. Although she lost her noise, she looks absolutely pretty.
Now, I don't spent my time with her, but she waits for me on my bed everyday, and obviously, I love her so much, and I hope she always stays close to me.

Bye!

My last vacation

I went to El Quisco, in February. I went with my family and some friends for 2 weeks.

There, I enjoyed the sun, the beach, and the company. During day, we went to the beach and we walked around the streets, they were so nice. the houses are so beautiful and handycraft free market was interesting. We bought some typical things, and obviously, earrings and rings and scarves.

Also, we visited other beaches, as Isla Negra and Algarrobo. We went to Pablo Neruda's house. It was incredible! His house is so big and it has a lot of beautiful things that he collected. For example, he had a collection of bottles, or a collection of pretty shells. We visited his grave too.

At night, we went downtown. There, we went to some pubs to have a drink and have fun. We went to the disco too. We danced and met very nice people. It was great!

The most beautiful memory was my cousin's birthday. We are so close, so I spent my time organizing everything. I was very happy for her. She turned 18 years old, so she was so excited. We prepared a surprise party and invited some friends who were in Santiago. It was great. She was so happy, and we had a incredible night.

The weather was nice. In the morning, it was a little cold, but in the afternoon, it was warm, so we enjoyed the sun and the sea.

Just like I said, I will never forget my cousin' s birthday, and I think neither will she. It was cool!

Bye!

My best friend!

My best friend is a pretty girl called Daniela, but I call her Polillita.

I met her in 2002 when we arrived to our school, Liceo Nº1 "Javiera Carrera". We were classmate, so we started our friendship inmediately.

There are a lot of beautiful memories that I remember, but the greatest was our classtrip. It was incredible. We spent our time visiting nice places, in the day, and in the night...on fire!

She is a wonderfull person. She is so lovely and honest. I like the way she tells me everything tenderly, so I have never been upset with her. She knows me very well, and she can guess when I feel good or bad, even if I don't tell her anything.

I dislike she don't call me frecuently. In the past, we passed a lot time together, but now, we don't, so everything we can do is talk, but she is so busy, and me too, so that is a little difficult.

Our greatest aventure happened in 2007 on my birthday day. We passed 24 hours having fun...you know. That moment will always be in my mind, and I hope we could repeat it forever.

I envy her that she doesn't take life seriously. When she has a problem, she takes calm and thinks that everything is good. She enjoys simple moments just like it was the last one. I really wish to be like her.

If could give her something, I think I would give her all the happiness that exists in the world, and obviously, I give her my soul everyday. I love her so much. She is my sister, my friend, my partner, she is everything I wished in life.

Bye!

My own life

Well, I think everybody knows me...I'm Ingrid, and I study the most wonderfull career in the world...I'm gonna be a psychologist.

I was born on a spring day, nineteen years ago. I am the first daughter, so my parents spent their time loving me. I can say that my first years of life were so happy.

After three years, my brother was born, he is called Nicolás. I don't remember very well the first time with him, but now, he is one of the most important people for me, and I can't imagine my life without him.

My way of living has been nice, but some situations have made me feel that life isn't so beautiful as I thought it was. However, I think I have lived just like I wanted.

Now, I'm studing psychology, and I think this is what I really like, and the profession that I wanna do for the rest of my life. Here, at university, I've learnt a lot of things related to my career, but I've met beautiful people too. Meeting Ivonne (happy birthday!!), Paloma, Jaime, Valentina, Edu and Ceci have been great.

In my free time, I like to be with people who is important for me. I try to pass the time with my friends, because now that everybody has taken different ways, it's a little complicated. We go out and remain our moments together. Also, I used to make myself some time to relax. For this, I like to listening to music, or watch a good movie.

For the rest of my life, I hope to travel to distant countries, like Moroco, and Europe, I think. I hope to become a great psychologist too, and I think I'll achieve it, because I have made big effort for that.

Now, I'm very happy, and I wish my life continues in the same way.

Good bye!
