Let her go










Music is an important part of my life and although many people don't think about it. Every person has a song that reminds him of anybody, a moment etc... 

Music shapes the soundtrack of our lives.
If I had to choose the top 5 of the song that have mark my life, one of them would be this:
                                           
                                          Let her go - Passenger

                              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ginx7WKq5GE
     
                             Because we are simple passengers in life.

Songs with meaning.

Today I would like to share a song that means a lot for me.
 It is " Keep your head up" Ben Howard.

I spent my time watchin' the spaces that have grown between us.
And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greeness.
And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in,
And I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim.

I'm walkin' back down this mountain
With the strength of a turnin' tide
Oh the wind's so soft on my skin,
The sun so hard upon my side.
Oh lookin' out at this happiness,
I search for between the sheets.
Oh feelin' blind and realize,
All I was searchin' for was me.
Ooh all I was searchin' for was me.

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my my darlin' keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No no no no, keep your mind set in your ways, keep your heart strong.

I saw a friend of mine the other day,
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
Oh I said I had been away, and he knew,
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
And it felt so good to see his face,
Or the comfort invested in my soul.
Oh to feel the warmth of a smile,
When he said "I'm happy to have you home.
Ooh I'm happy to have you home."

Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep you hair long.
Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong.
No no no no, keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your heart strong.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.

May you find happiness there,
May all your hopes all turn out right.
Ooh may you find happiness there,
May you find warmth in the middle of the night.

Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep you hair long.
Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong.
No no no no, keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your heart strong.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.

Future?

The truth is that I am in a moment in which my future is not very clear. I am doing my degree in English Studies but this not exactly the career I wanted, because I was thinking about Translation so at this moment I think that the next year I will try to move to that degree.

So that’s why I am almost sure that in the future I want to acquire a relevant job as an english translator. I think that although sometimes english is hard for me, I think I have talent for it.
The question is, when I had finished the degree, what’s the next? It’s the time to look for 

Resultado de imagen de future
a a job and I think I will find the big problem of the job market with the actual crisis, I will have to make a big effort to attend an interview and impress them.
Another thing that makes no sense is when you have finished the degree and you attend to interviews where they entail you experienced. But If anybody has given you work before, you can’t have gained experience, It’s impossible, you are inexperienced at it ! This way you will never make any progress.
On the other hand, when you have finished the degree I would like to emancipate but If nobody give me a job I won’t be able to do it because I won’t have the necessary money and If I borrow it from my parents, that wouldn’t be emancipating If I have had the financial support of them. 

And this is the harsh reality we will have to cope with when we are graduated in your degrees.

Are we really taking care of the environment?

I personally think that we are not sufficient concerned about the environment and how our actions can affect the whole world.

Resultado de imagen de environment

Actions like recycling, going on public transport etc… can make a big difference . When I talk to my friends I see that they are not so concerned because we there are man people who already thinks that it is not something so important and that in just nineteenth years we can not damage the environment. For those who think that way, I would advice them that all together must fight against climate change. For example, things so simple like buying a product which doesn’t embrace green politics only because they are cheaper is a big mistake. Unfortunately, the big part of the products are pollution ones and all of them can really disturb the balance.

We are getting to the point in which we are seeing cities and cities with an extremely air pollution where people is forced to wear masks because if they don’t do it, at the end, they could probably have respiratory illnesses.


I would like to be greener, because I believe that sometimes I should strive more on my day to day for example buying waste recycling and trying to think and not  to forget that we must take care of our world, our “big house”.

Hope there's someone.

I am very keen on classic songs, those who make you feel something different.
Here It is a big example of Antony and the Johnsons with a strong message:

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep tonight
How will I rest my head

And Godsend
I don't want to go
To seals of shame!
There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the sea's watershed

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

Essay

                                          The purpose of education
With respect to education, there is a global system in the whole world and it is not necessarily the right one. There have been lot of argues trough the years about this topic because it is truth that there are different ideas about the definition of what a right education must be. There are people who think about education as the idea of learning what there have already been studied and limit to that information, and other who think about it on a autonomic and imaginative way, taking the information which you have been done and question it and add your own opinion and references.

Since we are very young, we are taught to study and to stock up information in almost all of our subjects. And I have to ask you something, do you all think this is the best way of educating? Probably many of you think it is not but the problem is that there are many people who think that there is not a better or another way. They are completely wrong, education can be taught in a different way which awaken the curiosity of the students to learn more and of course, to question if that information is completely right or they can change some things looking for new information to verify and modify the old one, creating this way, our own  knowledge.

What's more, we are though in this indoctrination because it is what society expect of us. We are expected to accept what it was imposed in the past, but we would never advance if we just learn what other people discovered or taught and we are in a era where we have many things available to help us to form our own materials, for example, technology. But we have to look for signifiant information, that is to say, me must know what to search for, what can really help us. And to obtain that, we can not limit ourselves to what has already been done, we must be creative and try to challenge what it has been accepted in the past.

Autonomy is also something that we are not used to until we arrive at university and teachers tell us that now is our time, we are who have to organise our information. The time before that, we have just underlined in the class, many times without knowing what were underlining. That shouldn't be education. We are like machines studying for exams because we are told that those exams will decide our future. Since that moment, students don't focused on learning and developing their abilities and creativity, they just think that they must study that for the exam. That's not education.

As a result, we have and education that it is not really educating people and making they learning new things for their future, they just memorize information like machines not worrying about creating their own information for their future training but just caring about a single mark which won’t really define them.

Nowadays technology.

I think that, like in every change, we must be careful and conscious that every change has its good side and its bad side and every technology, incorrectly used can be very dangerous.
Resultado de imagen de technologyTalking about social networks, I think that many people is using them too much and in a very public way, they are completely absorbed. They post what they are doing, eating or even where they are or that they are home alone. This can be very dangerous because, maybe friends don’t even give importance to it but there are people who use this social networks to steal or even hound to whom post it.We must very responsive with this technology.
It’s truth that they can be very very useful to keep in contact with people who are far from you, they can show you things of their lives and you too. But we must’n forget that once you have uploaded a photograph to Internet, since then, that photo will never disappear, this is something that specially teenagers must remember.

In regard to gadgets, in my opinion, they have made our lives much more easier. Nowadays, you can make lot of thinks through your phone or computer, go shopping or talking to someone. But we must be careful because many people is not doing social life, and that’s very dangerous. Human being is a social being and we can’t forget that, when we go out to drink a coffee with some friends, we can’t not be the whole time watching the phone because we go out with our friends to talk to them and spend time having fun and forgetting the technological world.
