Your future as a health professional

First, when i decided to study to become a speech therapist?.

I can say that Speech therapist was a divine anwers for me. I really love languages, music, basic sciences and help people. Due to Speech therapist has the perfect mix to me, i decide for speech therapy.

That was my beginning… so What it is next?

As a speech therapist, i expect to work. It is very possibly study, more about my degree.

I would like to go to Australia, to work specifically with two kind of people:

Those who are learning languages and those who work with they voice, specifically with singers and actors. As well i would like to study: dance at Hillsong College (Sydney, Australia), Interpreting and several languages as french, portuguese, german, etc. Because i will work with people that are learning different languages.

And, now that i´ve known speech therapy, very well. I can say specially for those that love Basic sciences and language, and don´t know what to do? You must look speech therapist as a good option to study, because is a good mix of several areas, you have the option of choose between many areas to specialty and you can help many people in something essential as comunication.

Marco Guzmán

I guess that you´ll asking, who is Marco Guzmán?

Well he is and speech therapy, a professional opera singer and broadcaster.
He studied in University of Chile, and now works there, and in another universities too, like Mayor and Catholic (Santiago). He also works in Las Condes Clinic in Santiago.

For me he is the best speech therapy, i really think that i would like to be like him.Because the main reason why i study speech therepy it is music, because i really love it and help people it is very important to me too, so speech therapy, is perfect to me.

I have been always interestied in arts.

Actually i am studing singing and i hope to study broadcasting soon.

So he is for me, in the professional area a model to follow, because he do what i like.-

If you want to know more about speech therapy, or Marco Guzmán, you can see his website http://www.vozprofesional.cl/, it is in spanish and english.-

Career-related website

I do not have a favourite career-related website, because i am in first year, that means that the majority of my subjets are of general formation, like mathematics, biology, anatomy, sicology, and others and just one subject specific of speech therapy, that is: introduction to speech therapy, as you can see, i am not yet in the “speech therapy World” , but there is too many pages that i am visiting to research to my differents homeworks, some of that pages are]: http://books.google.cl/bkshp?hl=es&tab=wp and http://www.scielo.com/ . I visit those pages very often, because those pages help me to find information easily. The first page, have a lot of books, and some of them like “Netter” (Anatomy atlas) and “cantar y hablar” (very good book about speech therapy), are complete online so for my that page is very useful, because sometimes the books on library that i need, anothers students need it too, so i can not get them. The another page is an electronic library, so the page have actual information, like papers about differents subjects like: enginner, linguistic, biology, etc.

So if you study in college those pages will help you a lot to research, and study because have too many information in several areas.-

Eartquake, part 1

One of the most exciting nigth ever!!! i was in Pichilemu, a very famous surf beach in Chile.

That nigth i was with my mother, my aunt Marcela, my cousin Vita and her daugther Fa, with a distant aunt Quela and a distant cousin Francisca, because my family have cottages over there, and i was sleeping with my mom and distant aunt Quela, that day i supossed to wake up at 4 because i will comming back to rancagua (where i lived, when i not studying) at 4:30 am so i sleep ready to go, (wearing normal cloth no a pyjamas, i was pretty lazy XD). My mom woke up more or less at 3, and when the tremor start we when to the door and i hold my distan aunt Quela because she did not react, my house is close to the beach so i get worry about a possible tsunami and i went outside to look the sea and the other people (my others parients were in an other cottage, i when to look then too, and they look saved)...
