Post 5 - Someone I admire

Someone I admire 

Isabel Allende is a Chilean writer, internationally recognized for her work as a novelist. In 1967 she worked for the magazine Paula and in 2010 she won the National Prize for Literature here in Chile.


One of his great works is the novel "La casa de los espíritus", born from a letter to his grandfather. This novel is very special to me. I remember the first time I read the book, savoring the phrases and going crazy with the plot. This novel has become a kind of emotional containment for me, I always return to it in difficult moments, especially because of the strong female characters that characterize the history. Isabel has a style that hypnotizes me, her magical realism gives meaning to this crazy life we living.


I recently adopted a kitten and the first name I thought of was the name of one of the main characters in the novel, "Clara"

    I love Isabel Allende too ! She is my favorite writer. The first book I read was "La isla bajo el mar", it's a very sad story, but it's worth reading !

    She is a very good writer, I read "Paula" in school, and it was very sad because it is considered as an autobiography and relates hard moments. I love that Clara has her name because of the bok!

Hi! welcome to my blog Once I graduated from sociology, I would like to specialize in the area of ​​ education. My both parents are teachers, so always have been interested in how education impacts the formation of individuals and society. Part of my goals is to study abroad, hopefully Europe, and then return to Latin America. I have even thought about living in Mexico, I love the culture there and it would be very interesting to do sociology in that country. I would also like to do a doctorate, study about gender and social relations. With all this about the pandemic, and that I already have the experience of online classes, it would also be interesting to do a distance course, especially on a topic related to other social sciences such as psychology or anthropology. Sincerely, I don't know exactly what is area I want to pursue, I just know that I want to continue studying as much as I can.

Since I was little, I always loved to study, I even remember that I used to play that I took classes at the university. And although I liked other things like dancing, my passion for reading and writing was much greater. And that´s how in high school I decided to study sociology, influence by the fact that my parents are teacher of humanities, so I grow up learning about history and social issues. I also considered studying anthropology, but when I had an elective class of social sciences and studied some of the authors, I fell in love whit sociology! Now that I am in second year of the career, I can say that I took the right decision. I feel so passionate about my class topics, especially the theorists! In the future I would like to specialize in sociology of education, and research about that topic in different countries.
