A very Special Photo ...


I like this photo a lot in particular. It was taken on thursday 4 of this month. It was taken by a friend of mine, Fabian Ramos, from Pio Nono Bridge. I must tell that that day there were encounters with special police forces, that, in front of our negative of letting traffic go, proceeded to repress the protest. The image shows clearly how they didn't doubt in using mustard gas bombs against our study house, so they could accomplish their goal: bring back all the Bellavista area to normality.

As i state in my other blog:
(Link) the following facts happened:

7.30 - 8.30: Finished the storm of the 15th tower of San Borja, we decided to come back to our loved faculty, not before doing some noise before. Once we arrived to Pio Nono bridge, we found Gabriel Boric, who came with some more people, carrying the banners to cut the traffic. This action started immediately, and it affected the drivers' mood. Some of them almost run over us on their rage. We kept going while we cut the traffic, until finally, past Pio Nono bridge, some cops in charge of monitoring people of the ANDHA group, started to rip off the banners and push the people. That is where the GOPE, the Guanaco and the Zorrillo came, willing to stop with the movement. People begun to access the school courageously, when at the right of it, in a construction place, a mustard gas bomb was launched and the smoke ran over the ambient. Once we got inside the school, we realized that there were some martyrs, three in total, that were caught by the special forces and treated rather badly. This was a milestone, because it appeared in every single TV channel and it was a hard hit for Victor Perez, who was having a really bad meeting right then.

This will give anyone who reads this an idea of how the facts of that day were, and what that image means for a lot of us.
If there's people that feels some pressure in the chest when they see a photo of the bombing of Palacio de la Moneda, a lot of us feel just about the same by looking at this "bombing" to our school in Pio Nono.

My Career ...


A lot of times you are questioned: Why did u decide to study law?... in my case, the answer is simple. I think that with this career, i can project to the future, but not individually, because with it, i plan to work in the construction of a fair society. By studying this, i'll try to change all the injustice and reform the system, so it's not one for a few selected, but as the democracy wants, a system for a lot. For Chile.

If i plan to work as i should in my profession, i think i need a really wide library, with a lot of authors on it, and able to help me whenever i need to work. But i also don't think i only need tools, but i need friends who share my ideals so we can work together, and together struggle for a better country.

I'm still unsure about the area in which i plan to specialize. The one that's tempting me, is Labor Laws, because our country needs with this new reform, professionals with a wide criteria and willing to take workers out of that hole in which they are because of the actual legislation. However, i feel a big interest in the area of international laws, looking forward to solve borderline struggles, and as a way to enter in the diplomatic academy. Anyway, i think Labor laws is the area that goes closer to my ideal.

Sincerely i hope this time doesn't look short. I hope not to get to the end of my career saying that this years went through really fast. I hope to enjoy each one of them, and learn as much as i can. The time here is not the fundamental thing; the fundamental thing is everything i will gather in the years to come, which will be by the most, the base of my work.

A Career-related Website


I think it's difficult to talk about a website related to my next work: laws. That's because i'm a first year student, just finished my first semester, and i don't know much about related sites, but i remember getting a message on my facebook telling me about something related with laws. The link was:

http://www.todoelderecho.com

It is a fantastic website, because it has all i need for being a good law student, and a good lawyer in the future.

This website has a lot of sections, like "codigos juridicos del mundo", "apuntes de derecho", etc. I think it is the most complete site about the career.
I visit this website once i week, because i don't have that many things to do now, considering it is my first semester, and i don't need that much information. The only important thing i need is information about rome and his law, or some theories about the laws, like "nature" and "positive ius"
