My career

I'm studying Physical therapy because I want to work with handicapped and disabled people, specially with childrens. I want to contribute in their treatment and their rehab.

I like physical therapy becuase in this job you can talk with your patient and you can have a "relationship" with him , he can trust in you , talk with you, etc....You always must to be in contact with your patient and you must know everything about him.

Physical therapists are contributed in many ways to our society.They can contribute in a lot of areas :They can help handicapped and disabled people, take part in group of scientific investigation, they can help people with breathing problems, etc. Also they can work with another professionals and make helps groups .
The role of physical therapist is to try to recover the movement in the patient, for this they make a lot of exercises to the patient .

My favourite subject is Embriology, because this subject is about the develoment of the baby, and is so magical to know how the zygote grows to become a neonate.

My prom photo with my awesome boyfriend


This picture was taken on December 21th, 2008, by us (my boyfriend and me) with the timer function of the camera at my prom. It was very late (3.24 am).

I like this picture because it kind of takes me back in the time, when I was a happy (not that I'm not happy now, just I'm a little tired) school girl and my future was just beginning to take the form it actually has.

It also reminds me of the prom itself. It was a very, VERY good party. I had the time of my life on that party, with my close friends, the ones that weren't that close, my parents and my awesome boyfriend (in the picture, suited-up). We stayed there dancing and having fun until there was sun light at 7.00 am. I drank, talked about a lot of things - some serious and some just stupid - and wore a mask, a funny hat and a plastic tie that doesn't appear on the photograph because I've already taken them off.

In this picture I'm wearing my beatiful long calypso prom dress (it was meant to be purple, but I didn't find the fabrics, so I bought the calypso one, my second favourite colour). It was handmade by a dressmaker, but it was a totally original desing by me.

To resume, it was a great party and this picture reminds me how good it was and is a memory I'm going to remember for the rest of my mortal life, or until I get Alzheimer and forgot all about it and everything else.

Physical Therapy website

I don't have a favourite web site, because in the last time I don't have much time to be in the ciberspace.However, the last month I found an interesting website about my career, this web is a blog where you can find a lot of INFORMATION related with physical therapy.
This web site is very useful when I want some information about my career.Also in this web I can find books and download them. The other day I downloaded the " Netter" , a book about anatomy and it was very slow, but finally I got it.

I found this website because one person of my class provided a link in our email(kineuchile2009@gmail.com) and I clicked it and I found this page.

I used to visit this website once or twice a week, but since I don't use as much internet as I did before, the 'surfing-on-the-net' rate has been falling down.

The main reason that I like this website is because I can download the books that are very important in my career (yeah, I know that I'm doing illegal stuff, but I don't have money to buy those expensive books). Secondary reasons that make it a very good website are: it has notes, links to other related sites and blogs, it has news about coming physical therapy conferences or lectures, and it is constantly being updated with new things.
The link to the website I've been writing about is: http://kinetres.blogspot.com/
