Chilean Bicentenary

Hi! Now I am going to speak about the Chilean bicentenary because I think that it is a really interesting topic.

Lately our country has happened for a series of very difficult situations. In February happened one of the worst natural catastrophes in our country, an earthquake where many persons died, furthermore some time ago 33 miners were caught for more than 1 month to 700 meters of depth, but in spite of it Chile managed to overcome these tragedies with the effort of all the Chilean people.

In Chile during the centenary many public buildings were inaugurated, the bicentenary celebrations in 2010 were very similar because many churches and ancient buildings were restored. But furthermore the government realized many cultural events that emphasize the country's rejection of military dictatorships and celebrations related to the Chilean patriotism

The different departments of our country, as the department of culture and education organized free plays related to the independence and the Mapuche people.

The day's festivities included a musical celebration at the National Stadium in Santiago, a tribute to Chilean music over 200 years. A military parade and a “light show” were also realized.

During the celebration of the Chilean bicentenary I went to many places, at first I went to see the giant flag that was put in front of “La moneda” with my nephew and boyfriend, it was a really exciting event because there were many people, principally children, and the Piñera president gave a very encouraging speech.

Then I went to see the military parade, the truth is that It was a uncomfortable experience because the heat was stifling and I was standing for more of two hours with a lot of people , but the show was great, overall the plane’s show and the military school’s show. Furthermore I went to a “Letellier Rodeo” because in this place realized a horse show with children.

Finally I went with all my family (cousins, aunts, brother and sisters) in my house. My mom and my aunts cooked typical Chilean food and I danced “cueca” with my father, brother and boyfriend, it was a really great celebration 

Sixteen & Pregnant

In my free blog I am going to speak about a reality television series called "16 & Pregnant”. In my free time I love watch this series on TV because in the program document the true stories of several pregnant teens in high school.

I like watch “16 & pregnant” because each episode tells a new story and shows the different challengers that have the teenagers every day   with their family and friends to school and finances as new parents.

Often the teenagers feel frustrated when they know that they will be parents, but later they possess with the support of his parents and prepare themselves to receive the baby.

All the episodes are really good, in each of them I am eager to see the end though often it is sad for that the parents of the babies can’t take responsibility for the care of his children and they give the babies in adoption, but before the baby’s parent have often meetings with the new baby’s parents. But in other episodes is very gratifying to see the teen parents raising his children. The episode typically ends when the baby is a few months old

The teenagers are very important for us because they are the country’s future, furthermore in our future career we will be the persons in charge of to prevent the teen pregnancy. The midwifery is very important in the teenager’s life because they always give advices to the teenagers and give them information about the different contraceptive methods to avoid a not wished pregnancy
