My Working Life

Hi everybody!!!

In the blogs this week, I´m going to talk about some of the jobs that I worked in my life.
The first job of my life was birthday entertainer, at age 16, I worked on this because one day being in the square I saw an ad that said they needed a birthday clown to encourage young children, then a friend went to see that it was. We loved it and began to work on that. This work consisted of going to different children’s birthday clown dressed, doll or princess and makes games, sing songs and paint the faces. This work was very fun, we amused ourselves doing it. I worked on this about a year and a half.
My second job was at age 18 as a telephone interviewer in a call center, this work consisted surveys every week, at a group of specific persons, associated with various public services. This work was very methodical, and that was to make the questions to people and noting their responses, it wasn´t so stressful, but sometimes I got tired of talking so much jajaja.
Finally in the summers of 2009 and 2010 worked as a salesman in the Paris shop in La Serena, worked from Monday to Friday during the afternoon. This work despite being too hard, it was really fun, I became very good friends with whom I talked and laughed during the whole shift and sometimes after work we were going to have fun in the urban centers.

These are the jobs I worked during my life, really all have been a great experience that made me grow as a person and helped me to become independent.

My pastime and my vacation


Hi everybody!!!
The topic of this blogs is: My pastime and my vacation. Usually in my pastime I read magazines and my favorite books, listen to music, sleep and watch my favorite shows on TV.
Further, I like to share with my family and enjoy nature with they.
I like going shopping or going at the cinema at see one film about adventure or action.
The most fun is when I go on vacation with my family, especially with my cousins at La Serena. We entertain a lot doing various activities such as playing cards, dancing, going out at night, visited many places, such as beaches, museum, handcraft fair, and many places very very wonderful.
The that most I like is the Elqui Valley, which is a beautiful place, full of trees, parks, lakes. The last time I went to La Serena, I went to the Elqui Valley with some friends and I remember that we went to a camping that had a lake, where we bathed for long periods and the water was exquisite, in these places you can enjoy with your friends and family outdoors, you can play ball, to roast and relax.

Another place that I like from the same region, where I go on vacation is the beach Totoralillo, this beach has large waves, you can see people surfing, you can play to pallets, visit a handcraft fair that is put in place , walking along the beach, watch the sunset and so many fun activities. In summer, this beach is full of people, many Argentine go to this beach, but it's nice to go to this place to spend a great day.

The fourth region has nice places to visit and relax, I recommend you go,you will not regret.

Education and prevention


The midwife has an important task in counseling and education for health, not only for women but also within their families and community. The prevention is very important in my field because it´s we can take appropriate protective measures, the promotion of normal birth, the detection of complications in the mother and child, access to health care or other appropriate assistance and implementation of emergency measures Five different ways that may help educated individuals, families and community are:
1. Educate individuals about their sex life, for example education on condom use to avoid unwanted pregnancies that can lead to abortions.
2. Educate at the women about of the pregnancy process, cares and important indication for this period. And educate at the pregnant women about possible complications of pregnancy.
3. Advice couples during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. Indicate the importance of assistance of man at the controls.

4. Educate the community about sexual and reproductive health and educate the community you want to have children on how to prepare for paternity and childcare.

5. Teach at the parents for that they educate at your children about this topics.
Also to prevent midwives can realize various activities to promote prevention such as delivery of educational tryptic in policlinic, realitation of educational talks to pregnant women or talks of sexual reproduction interested young, among others.
Also, it is important that educating people, we explain with simple words, to understand clearly what we teach. It is also important to ask if they are questions about what is taught, to make sure they really learned.

Gender roles in health care

I had never thought of this subject, but I've always had the idea that both women and men have the same rights. And the race to consider depends on your calling, for example if a man studies Obstetrics and Genecology is because he likes the area and wants to develop it.
As for the benefits I think both men and women, studying the same career bring the same benefits. What is generally said, in a particular way in our profession that would be a problem for men than women prefer to be Midwives, instead of Midwives, noting that this occurs only in some cases.
Historically, the problem of gender in different areas was more pronounced today due society has changed its thinking. From my point of view, gender is not a big problem in our career, and I think that all depends on the way people think. That is why I consider that gender issues among health workers in other countries will be heavily influenced by the thinking of persons belonging to that country.
