2: "My future, my decision"

Since I remember I liked animals, I wanted to be a Veterinarian until a friend told me that she had to sleep her dog and that she had taken her to the vet for that. At that moment I  realized that I would not be able to do it.

During my adolescence I always wanted to study something related to people and social  duty, and later that desire was increased by a career that paid off economically  (I think it is something that my father indirectly instilled in me, since he always told me  that he did not want to it will happen the same as he had to live with the debts). For that reason, I put aside my most intimate tastes like being a teacher, and decided that  being a lawyer was a good decision, because in a certain way I could contribute to the social field to people who did not have economic resources, and on the other hand I could also earn money. 

The first year I did very well in university, but it was a very dark and sad process, I did not feel like going to class or studying, and I felt it was not a career for me. The second year I had a crisis for the same reason but with more decision than to do. That was how at the end of the year I decided to leave the race and tell my family. They got angry, they did not talk to me for a month, but then everything calmed down.

I had to give the PSU again, and with the support of my parents, this process was nice, because I was going with the clear goal, I wanted to study childhood pedagogy. So far my experience in this University has been good; it has opened many possibilities for how I can develop in the future and many tools to be an agent of social change.

I must admit that I have liked non-formal educational spaces such as the museum, and I am currently doing my practice in the Santiago Library. I think and I would like to develop in 

patrimonial and cultural spaces, outside the classroom, specifically because they are spaces that are often not worked for children, and there is a lot of potential to do so, I feel it is a challenge.

1: MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Hello everyone, my name is Macarena Vargas, I am twentythree years old. I was born in 

Antofagasta on the twentyfourth of June 1995.

Currently I live in Santiago with my boyfriend and my dog ​​in the commune of Santiago Centro. I 

study children's pedagogy at the University of Chile since 2016, however I studied two years law. 

I did not like this last career and decided to change to one that I had always wanted to study.

I studied elementary and high school in a Catholic school, which I blame my parents for having 

made me go through that torture (joke).

I am currently very happy to study this career, and very content to be in Santiago despite not 

seeing my parents. It is a very big city and with many entertaining activities to do. What most 

strikes me is the amount of museums, libraries and heritage sites. I am seriously thinking about 

dedicating myself toheritage education in early childhood.

In the summer I return to Antofagasta to visit my parents and every day I go to the beach, it is an

instance that I adore, because it calms me the smell and the sound of the sea.

I have a sister, whom I always see, we like to share a beer and talk about life. We are very close

despite being ten years apart.

In my spare time I like watching movies on Netflix, eating cookies and ice cream. I love spending

 time with my dog going for a walk to the hill of Santa Lucia, as I live nearby. I also, like to share 

with my boyfriend, with whom we spend hours talking about everything (and also drinking wine).

Things that I love: eating chocolate, sleeping with my dog, reading books, listening to 

music and cooking.

This is my dog, his name is Thor and he is four years old, when he was 5 months old I 
rescued him from the street and from that moment he changed my life. 

Goodbye, I hope you know me better

Feminism

"Feminism is the same male-chovinism, but the other way"

In my opinion, these concepts do not represent the same way. Feminism is a movement and social positions that seek gender equality for women on the rights have been denied in political, cultural, sexual and economic areas.

The male-chovinism is a set of socially constructed attitude for people and is associated with the masculine. These attitudes consider women inferior and submissive to men.

The feminism seeks gender equality between woman and men. On the other hand, male-chovinism considers men superior to woman. Therefore, they are not inverse concepts. The male-chovinism promotes gender violence; its end is not the same way.

Putting the concepts in parallel is contradicting a way of thinking and a struggle that wants to claim that all people have the same rights and that fights against all forms of oppression and discrimination, with an ideology that considers men superior and have privileges because of the fact that they are.
