A Country I would like to visit

France

I've wanted to travel to France. I think it's because I like vey much the food and in this country the gastronomy is extremely diverse. Too, I love the cinema and in France the Cannes Festival takes place, one of the most important and famous film festivals in the world. Besides, the cinema was created in France.
On top of everyting else, I've always wanted to know the Eiffel Tower. Besides, I love this language.

When I get to go  there, the first thing I will do is to visit the Eiffel Tower, in Paris! Second, I will taste their food, specially their cheese, and their wines, because they are the most renowned products in France. Then, I will dedicate myself to know the history of the cinema.

I'd like to learn of their cuisine, renowned for being one of the finest of the world.

Well, I hope that this travel is not far, and I can do everything that I want.

Here I leave a picture of the Eiffel Tower, the world's most visited paid monument.

A Picture I like

I took this photo last week in a very emocional moment.
Here I am with Coté, a German Shepherd who I and my friends helped for it recuperation.

Because of her, I learned many things and it made me even more sure that I am in the place I want and I should be. Thanks to her I know that I will be happy to be a veterinarian, since seeing as she improved little by little and see how she looked at me saying "thank you", made me immensely happy.

In this moment specialy, I was saying goodbye to Coté, because she will go with her new family. I had to contain my tears, but now I'm very very happy because she stay with her new owner and her partner, a very beautiful German Shepherd.

I like very much this picture, because is a moment that I will remember forever.

Well, without nothing more to say about this picture, I leave this here, enjoy it :) ...

My opinion about...

Hi!, I'm going to talk about my opinions regarding differents topics.

Legalizing abortion in some cases:

Abortion is a very difficult decision, but in some cases I think it is necessary. 

For example, when the woman gets pregnant due to a violation, WITH a verification of injuries, she should be able to choose this option. 

In cases that the parents were careless, I don't think thats is possible for us, BUT they will not love their child, I think that they can choose, but they must pay a price: castration. YES!, Castration! Because they played with life.

Well, everything I said, about the abortion, should be  legalized but ALWAYS that before 2 months, date that the embryo becomes a fetus. After this, the persons DON'T have the right to decide about the life that will develop.

The Chilean politicians:

Really I'm don't know much about the Chilean politicians, because I don't like politics! But whit the less that I know of them, I think that the politics in Chile STINKs!

The politicians DON'T listen to the voice of the people! They're worried only for their interest and They are there to fill their pockets with OUR money!

That's is my meek opinion :)

Killing stray dogs: 

Something that make me sick, is this! Killing stray dogs is a CRIME! 
Why not killing tramps? For me, the animals is the same that persons! Killing is NOT the solution! 
We should be done is to help!!!

"Barras Bravas":
I think that one thing is love your team, but in some cases, some persons come at to be extremist!
Healthy endurance sport without violence in your "barras"! YES at Stadium Security law.

Climate Change:
The Climate Change make me feel very sad, because this is OUR fault! The human race are killing the Earth on every second and maybe cannot save the planet if we continue like :( CONSCIENCE PLIS!

My passion

Since i was a child that I wanted to be a veterinarian, but in the long of my life I passed for others career as laws and psychology.

Two years ago, I was walking when suddenly a car hit a pair of birds. I can save one bird, but the other died and I felt very sad. Then, I was almost decided to be a veterinarian, but after this accident, I decided to completely. This was that I wanted!

Now, I'm studying Veterinary Medicine and I feel very happy. This is the best decision of my life until now.
In the future, when I will graduate, I will dedicate to minor clinical, because I will help the stray animals.

Well, this is my passion, I love animals and they are my life!

Greetings future colleagues! Hugs :)
