When I was a child I always wanted to study veterinary medicine because my grandfather is a veterinarian and when I went to see him in the south he would show me how he treated animals.

When I was growing up I started to like social studies. In high school I was interested in anthropology, the study of culture attracted my attention. When you left school you already knew that you wanted to study anthropology, do not hesitate at any time. An aunt who is an anthropologist lent me some books and I was convinced.

Currently I feel very satisfied studying anthropology at the University of Chile. When I finish my degree, I would like to dedicate myself to research and environmental impact studies. Being supporting the communities and their social demands.

  These photos are from a day we went to a national reserve in the Arrayan. The ones in the photo are my partner and my loky dog. I remember that that day we got up early to go buy meat for the barbecue at the supermarket. It was a sunny spring day. Upon arrival we were very scared because loky ran away and we could not find him. After looking for it for a few minutes, we realized that it was drinking water in the river. He is crazy, disobedient and very affectionate. When we relaxed from the fright, we ate the meat and talked for several hours on the bank of the river. Then we went hiking up the hill until it got late and we had to leave. It was a very special and loving day.

With the neoliberal ideology that was established with the Constitution of 1980 and the market reform that accompanied it in the educational field, the fact that the state directly provides the educational service to people, thus guaranteeing their right to education, constitutes in at best an exception. In general, private schools offer a higher quality education in terms of content and infrastructure. We cannot deny that there are state schools that are very well positioned in the academic ranks, but these are few and accessing them is difficult. With the arrival of the covid, the educational gaps between rich and poor have widened. It is evident that it is a state problem and not one of private schools.

¿What do you think of the health system in Chile?

Although health in Chile has improved in recent years, there are still many deficiencies within this public health system. People serving in the private sector generally have no problems. They are cared for in clinics or medical centers, where they can access good specialists. On the other hand, the people who are in Fonasa, generally have to be treated in hospitals or CESFAM that most of the time are collapsed. Sick people often have to wait months and even years to be able to have an operation. Also, there is a long waiting time when seeing specialists. We have all seen on TV people hospitalized in the halls of hospitals. Hospital infrastructures are insufficient for the number of people to be cared for. Hygiene conditions are often very bad. The pandemic has demonstrated the precariousness of the public health system. Many people died from lack of beds. Ultimately, there is good health care for people who can afford it. People who do not have the resources must opt ​​for an inadequ...
