My Ideal Job

My ideal job would be a teacher, but not any teacher. I would like to teach in the University of Chile.
Another ideal job would be a Public manager, and I would like to work in the Education Department.
To work in this job I need to have different qualities and skills, for example I need to be patient, motivated at work and empathic. And I need to have the skills to organize human and materials resources. And I need skills to guide a group of people.
I would be good at this job because I think that I am a responsible person and this is necessary to be a better university teacher.
Finally I think that to find a job at public administration is more difficult than finding a job at the university, because the public managers have fewer possibilities to get fired.

My favourite subject

My favourite subject is micro-economy; this is the first time that I take it.
To take this subject, I had to pass mathematic II. The name of the teacher of micro-economy is Gonzalo Leyton, he is new in the School of Government, and he is a good teacher because he explains clearly. I like micro-economy, because it is a subject that let me understand how the economic of the different countries work, and how people decide, and how the government act.
I had to learnt different laws of the economy, for example the law of demand and law of offer. How taxes affect the social welfare, and in particular how it affect the welfare of producers and consumers.
Finally if I pass this subject in the next term I will take macro-economy. I hope that macro-economy is as good as micro-economy.

"Do Schools Kill Creativity"

Sir Ken Robinson talks about education, he says that it is important for the development of the society in the future.
He affirms that people are interested in the education.
Every child is creative but the school kills their creativity. Teachers do not explain to the kids that being wrong is common and necessary for the learning experience.
The educational system was created during the industrialism so the lessons taught were only the ones needed to succeed in an industry.
Today is necessary that people have a degree, magister and PhD to get a job, because we are living a process of academic inflation.
Finally, to encourage creativity in the children, we have to consider intelligence as diverse, dynamic and distinct.
In my opinion, I also think that the school does not pay enough attention to the importance of creativity and that that should be changed.

My future

Well, I think that the future is important for the personal development, especially that the people have dreams. In this moment I am studying Public Administration, in the second year, but in the near future I hope to finish this career.In the professional area, I am going to be a public manager in three or four years more. I expect to be the best in my area then to travel around the Latin-American countries to know different universities. I would like to apply to one of these universities.
In the personal area, I expect to get a good job and to save some money to buy a house or an apartment in Santiago center. After achieving this aim, I will leave my parent’s house. I think that living alone is very important to grow up.
Finally in my ideal future I will be married and I will have two children. I would like to travel with them around Europe. I would also like to write a personal book for my grandchildren for them to know about me.
