Final PreGrade Post...

Please send me back to firts year, I wanna live the career again :( 

Today the hability to know english is very important, but I think that I don't have succesful habilities to read papers (to the thesis, for example) or books (in the last vídeo I talk that I'm thinking to buy a book in english, because right now it don't have spanish translation).

In the university I did two english courses: level 3 and level 4. I know that's necessary more speaking practice, because in that activities you need to think very fast what you would like to say and translate to english language to communicate your idea. In writing you have more time to think or translate the ideas, but I think that isn't very good because in real life you don't have too much time to thnk or translate your ideas.

I wanna do the english like a second mother language for me, but I don't have too much places to speak. I will be grateful if in english class we could have more speaking practice.

Outside the english class the only place tat I have to practice is Instagram. I have a little page when I talk about my knowledge and I gve my opinion about healthy life and personal development. Sometimes people send me DM in english and I respond in the same language and I would like to responde faster, but sometimes I need to translate the answer and I don't like that. 

But I try to understand and respond only in english with no translate. 

Tennis Practice

Today I will talk about a tennis experience that I lived almost six years ago, in 2012, when I retired to the school to make an effort to be a professional tennis player. 

The the photography was taken in the fifth court for the Club Sirio Unido, and you can see three persons: Rodrigo Cortés, sports psychologist that in that time he was doing his university practice in this Tennis Academy. Next to Rodrigo you can see Nicolás Massú, the only man to won two gold medals in the same Olympic Games (that happened in Athens, 2004). Next to him, was me. 

I don´t remember who take the photo but was when Nico and me finish the training session. It was taken because Rodrigo needed it for his thesis document. It was on November, and the hour was between 4:00 and 5:00 pm. In the moment I wasn't very emocionated with the photo, but now I would have a better attitude.

At that time, I didn't know how important that situation was in my life.

That day, we train for two intensitive tennis hours following the Horacio De La Peña instructions. He was a demanding coach, and he didn't tolerate mistakes. I remember that day I was nervous. My mouth went dry a few minutes after starting the training. 

Right now I'm retired for the high tennis competition. The sport is good option to have a healthy life, but not a very good idea if you wanna got a high prize money. Whatever, good experiencie.

UChile Psychology 2.0

Interesting topic, and I have to say 5 things about that:

1. FACSO building ir very traditional (is old, but traditional sounds better), tha clasrooms are very hot, and uncomfortable. "I expected more for the best psychology school in the country" I said on my mind my first class day.   
2. Five years is too much, perfectly we could learn the fundamental psychology things on four or three (in this case, very difficult, but challenging) years.
3. About the classes, I can understand why we don't use high technology in psychology, but I can't understand why the University didn't teach us to use that to promote our services when we graduated... Oh, I forgot that find a job after you graduate is very easy 😂
4. The teaching methods are imporvable (means 'mejorable' in spanish). The teachers don't have teachers studies. That say a lot of their improvised teaching methods. But one positive point is the motivation that a few teachers have for their pregrade class. 
5. Finally, we need less theory and more practice. We have a lot of sheet courses, I will not say which because all of us know it. Maybe in this type of courses we learned a lot of beautiful ideas... but I wanna know how I can do my job better, and I only know that we have one cognitive - conductual course. I prefer to have more psychology knowledge instead of beautiful but unless ideas in my mind. 

If you don't agree with this ideas, you can write on the comments box why and we could discuss our ideas 💕
