A subject that I enjoyed this semester

  One of the subjects that I enjoyed this semester is “Desarrollo de destrezas y autocuidado para el ejercicio professional”. We have these class two days a week, Tuesday and Thursday, around 11 am, a good time because I’m not that sleepy, one of the reasons that I enjoy it.   In this subject, we see a lot of contents and we also have practical classes. In the lecture we see interesting topics and sometimes at the end of the class, the teacher do a kahoot for us, so we can have a class more dynamic, I think is great, because we can see what we learnt.       The main contents that we have seen so far are microorganisms, self-care, diseases prevalent in the oral cavity, etc.   We also have practical classes where we are divided into small groups, so we can have a more personalized class, we do things like draw the cavity oral, carve teeth, etc.   So, the reason why I really like this class is because we can learn a lot of interesting topics t...

Career related website

  I don’t really have a favorite website about my career, I didn’t have the time to look for a page that keeps me interested. However, at the beginning of the year I followed some pages of Instagram that have great content and where  I can learn new things. I don’t visit it very often, but I think it’s worth it to look once a time. The pages are in English and have cases that we can look into them, is content that we haven’t seen yet, but we can investigate more about it. When you first see the pages, there are images that can be a little bit shocking at first but then you get used to it. when I have free time, I scroll a little bit and see the new post that they have made. The names of the pages are dental cases, periodontology world, indbe dental boards, dentist by heart, etc. This are some of the accounts that I follow to learn new things and facts about dentistry.

What are you really into?

  In these quarantine months I barely have time to do other things apart from studying but sometimes It have been difficult to keep my concentration and mood in those times, so when I feel down, I watch series, doramas  to keep my mind in others things and relax me a little bit. Sometimes I watch the Simpsons just to have fun and relax, I think at the end of the year I’m going to memorize the chapters if I keep watching it. Other thing that I have been doing in quarantine is play with my dog, I adopted her very recently. So, I have been busy trying to get to know each other and playing with her so she get used to his new house and family. I’m also trying to teach her how to go up and down the stairs. It have been difficult for her because she is so afraid to fall but she has made a little of progress the last weeks and tried to go up some steps. I hope in the end of the year she can overcome her fear.

My favorite picture

  This is my favorite picture, I took it very recently. It’s a picture of my two dogs, the black one has 11 years old and I have had it since I was 9 years old. I have spent many moments with her. The white one, I have adopted it like 1 month ago. She was rescued from the street. She was malnourished and had a problem in her skin, so I took care of her and now she is doing fine. She needs a lot of love.   When I brought her home, my other dog was so jealous and still is, we are trying to leave them alone so they can get to know each other better and we hope someday, they will play together and keep each other company.   It took me a long time to capture this photo because they don’t like each other. It’s not the best quality but is very especial and important to me.

Things that catch my attention on the street

When I used to walk down the street every day to my school, I was always struck by the number of pigeons on the streets. Maybe is because I'm afraid of them, that I always pay attention to them when I walk. I remember when I was little that pigeons knew how to fly and when someone was near them, they flew very fast. Now they don’t even move. Another thing I have noticed is that sometimes they stay in groups on the roof of buildings and watch all the people go by. With my friends I always joke that they plan to dominate us. Which is very scary. Who knows, maybe they are taking the first steps to invade us. Sometimes I imagine that if this happens in the future, what would I do? This is one of my worst nightmares.

My favorite piece of tech

This is a difficult question because I’m not a person that into technology. I have a computer, a tablet and my phone. I don’t use my computer that much to be honest, so it’s difficult to use it now with online classes. In the other hand, when I was little my parents give me my first tablet, I only used it to play games like for a month and then I stop use it because I got bored. So, with the pass of the time my tablet died. Now I have one, but I only use it to study. So, I think my favorite piece of technology is my phone. I got it like 2 years ago, when my other phone no longer worked. I use it to play games, to call and chat with my family, to listen music, to watch videos, etc. I spend a lot of time in my phone only watching videos and listening to music. What I like of my phone is that I can carry it to everywhere, it has a lot of apps and enough memory for me. In the past, I thought that I could live without it but now I don’t think so, because how I call my mom when I got ...

Why dentistry

   When I was Little, I wanted to become a firefighter because I wanted to help people. Then I discovered that I couldn’t depend on it because there’s no salary, so I thought that I could study something that could help people but that I could also live of it, so I thought of become a doctor. In that moment I could only think of medicine, as probably most of the people that like the heath area, but with the pass of the time I felt that I just wanted to study medicine to satisfice the expectation that other people had on me.  For that reason, I became very insecure of what I wanted, that I thought I didn’t have passion for any career that I could think of. So, in my last year of high school I was very indecisive of what I wanted to become. First, I thought to study engineering because a lot of people said that I was good in math, but then I eliminate the idea because I didn’t like the labor field. Other options were arquitecture, kinesiology, nutrition, but I didn’t li...
