The Right to Education

One of the most important rights, for me, is the right to education. I think that a person with knowledge is more apreciated than another without. The education makes us better persons because besides theorical elements also teach us ways to behave. Without education we would be living in a continued war without rules.
Education is the base to get a good job and make people be equal and everybody starts from the same point. We have to fight for keep this right independently of the class or economic situation. In this way we can eliminate discrimination and fix a better quality.

Ebola News

The number of people believed to have been killed by the Ebola virus in Guinea it's over 100. It was one of the most challenging Ebola outbreaks that the World Health Organitzation has to ever had to deal with. The virus has now killed 101 people in Guinea and 10 in Liberia. Ebola is spread by close contact and kills between 25% and 90% of its victims. 
Southern Guinea is at the epicenter of the outbreak. The geografical spread of the outbreak is thought to make it particulary challenging to contain.

This news caught my attention because it is thought to be one of the most dangerous diseases, and it's one of the most dangerous because it doesen't have medical care. I hope that one day someone finds a solution to this desease that is killing a lot of people.

Demostrations

Nowadays in the Spanish cities there are plenty of protests. In the last years Spain has gone frombad to worse, politically speaking, and for this reason people protests and show their discontent. Every day there are, all kinds of people, young and old going round with protest slogans witten on placards protesting on the streets. 
I believe that this is a good way to express the displeasure of the workers and students that day by day are suffering cut backs from the politics. I am upset with all the measures concerning with education because, as time passes, our opportinities to accede to university or find work are decreasing and it's really frustrating see how all your work is for nothing. 
I would like to go to some pacific demostrations and see how people try to fight for their rights, find people who fight together for the same reason and thinks, more or less, like you do. In my view I believe that must be a really good experience and really conforting. 





New Technologies

I am really surprised about the progress of the new technologies, few years before, if you needed information about whatever topic, you had to go to the library and look it up in some books, and probably none of these books had the information that you were searching for. 
Nowadays, If you need information, you only need a mobile phone or any information system with internet. That's all! You can find out anything in a few minutes and if this information isn't useful, you can click on another page and search for more information.
I believe we are fortunate to be living at a time when information is so easy to find. In my view you never had enought knowledge because it was so difficult to find but today is much easier.

Sweet 18

I think that birthdays are the one of the best days in our live and, above all, when you are 18 years old. In my view, when you reach the legal age, you have more responsabilities than you realize. For example: you have freedom, you can go to prison, you can drink legally, you can be independent... To sum up, eighteen is a year to begin to mature and get a lot of responsabilities, an age for changes,  really big changes. 
My birthday was last week, the 13th March, and I can't see any changes but I can feel it. This year and, above all, next year, I have to decide a lot of things that could mark my life. For example, if I am going to live in Girona near the university or stay at home with my parents and travel everyday to the university. Which career to choose... Many things which I have undecided at this very moment. 
An idea came to me of doing a Gap year to meet people, to meet myself, to know the world... But at the same time I think that I'm too toung to do that. Maybe in another year. 
To conclude this, I believe thats to be in the legal age is a road with plenty of ways and you have to choose the best for you. 


Travel

The world is a fascinating place with a lot of special and magic places. Every country is another little world with different characteristics and with different people, for this reason I want to find a job which allows me to travel a lot. 
I would like to travel to different places, above all, places with different culture, gastronomy and customs because I find it interesting to see how other people see the world, their way to understand it... There are a lot of things to know and the best way to do it is by traveling and traveling. Travel is the best wayto acquire knowledge, experiences and to know interesting people. For me, is exciting when someone shows me a photo with a fantastic landscape... Well, it's amazing for me. I can be hours looking it and wishing to go there.
Well, as I said, the world is fascinating and magic.
