This year will be remembered in the future for many issues that have had place on it: the earthquake, the miners tragedy and rescue, and the bicentenary celebration. This last topic has been inserted in everything our country has done: we are all Chilean, we have to be proud of it, we all should be happy for being part of this great nation that is turning 200 years, 200 years of freedom and growth. But truth is there’s nothing to celebrate, except to celebrate that we celebrate.

For example, in the bicentenary year´s nobody thinks the education is well, but also there is not authority that has a real alternative for the education. Many experts have said that the Chilean education is very segmented and that this is a problem for the poor families and the society in general. So there is one reason for not celebrate.

In addition, the poverty far from reducing has grown in the last time. It is evident that the social policies applied during decades are a failure and that the economic politics does not help very much either. But on the press, on the congress and the spaces of the elite, they continue insisting in spite of doing more of the same thing. The big problem is that poverty affects the live of a many persons in our country –for the most part children and grandparents- and also is a obstacle for de development, because there is not country that could develop with so many poverty and inequality.

Neither have been fulfilled the promises of development done by the last presidents. Excuses are too much but the fact is clear, for the bicentenary we are not a developed country. We still basing our economy in commodities, we have not change that bicentenaries character of our country.

Then, it is for these and other reasons that there was nothing to celebrate in these 200 years of the nation. If I was coming to my birthday number 200 years without make real my projects, I would ask me about what I have don bad and who to fixed, before doing a great party. But Chile doesn’t do that, the party was first and I hope the public discussion and the action come now.

Nevertheless, I must recognize that as all I enjoyed the celebration because it is good to have days without work and study to share.

HOME SWEET HOME

When I was a kid I thinking that I live forever in the same place, I love my first home, because in this part I had many friend, because the place when I lived was a close passage and all people to know.

The home when I live now stays in Providencia, I live in a ninth floor, I live here since 10 years ago. My last home is in a convenient location, because near of this we can see the supermarket, and bus stop.

Also, the location is so great, because in only 20 minute I stay in the center of Santiago. I don’t like that never go on the sun of the flat, that is because for its orientation, this thing In the winter is terrible because you ever need to turn on the heating.
