Blog 5 - A Meaningful Picture

 

Good afternoon, dear students.

Hoping you are enjoying this weekend, in today’s blog I will talk about one meaningful picture for me.

I consider myself a very sentimental person, and photographs are short extracts of significant instances of our lives, whether these can be representations of relevant periods of our lives or simply instants of our daily lives. These are forever printed memories.

In this picture, though, I will describe a part of my heart that is faraway gone.

Her name was Cucky, although in my mind was always Cucky Ramos Valencia. She was a mixed breed and part of my life for 17 years. Besides my human family, she was the only living being that watched me grow since childhood until adulthood. My companion, my pet, my Cucky <3.

 

 This last picture is the relevant one, because the previous one was only the formal presentation to you all hehe. In this picture, we can see a very old and grumpy Cucky, who is taking her last bath in her life. I wanted her to look fresh and clean since it was summer, and it was a good day for her as well.

I remember taking this picture thinking about how much time left she had in my life. Now that I watch it again (I don’t usually review these pictures because it still moves me to tears to think about her), it surprises me how much I loved her and how much she loved me.

I remember a younger version of myself being taking cared of by her while I was swimming at the pool and, years later, how the roles were reversed, and I was the one taking care of her.

    Hello teacher, I am so sorry for Cucky, he was so beautiful and I understand the feeling of seeing photos of someone who passed away. I still cry when I see photos of my dog that is faraway gone. He must have been very happy with you <3

    Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story about Cucky. Pets hold a special place in our hearts and in our lives. I miss my kitty a lot too; he passed away a few years ago. Although I try not to think about it, when I do, I just wish to be with him again :(

    I´m very sorry for your loss.
    It has always caught my attention that dogs don't know when they are going to die, but they do know that their humans are sad and they are the reason...

    Hello teacher, thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I'm very sorry to hear about Cucky's passing. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to no longer have her around. In the end, all we can do is be grateful for the time shared and continue cherishing her memory with all the affection and love <3.

Blog 1 - Who am I?

Dear students, welcome to this blog. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.   My name is Javiera, a 29-year-old English teacher that lives at the outskirts of Santiago. A millennial that chooses sometimes to be vegan because it’s cheaper, an introvert person that likes eating salty things and listening to music while talking to her friends about problems. I would say that my main interests in this moment are reading books, meeting new people, try to be as much healthy as possible and trying to fix my psychological issues before I leave the country. Nice to meet you 😊 I used to live in Santiago Centro, but due to economic and health issues, this year I decided to go back to my mother’s place.   She lives far from the capital, in a town called Peñaflor (not Peñalolén, but Peñaflor), with my younger and elder brothers. My father lives in the north of the country, so we see him sometimes. Nowadays, my relationship with my siblings is amazing, I love my mom and, f...

Blog 3 - My favorite piece of technology

  Hello dear students. I hope you are doing well. In today’s blog, I will describe my favorite technological device. If we look up at the definition, technology refers to processes and elements that help to solve a problem or that has a purpose or end for it. Keep that in mind, I am going to talk about a technological devices that has helped me throughout the years:    🌟 Whiteboard Markers 🌟   As a teacher, I must say that using whiteboard markers throughout the day is a daily must. I wouldn’t say this is my favorite technological device because it’s oh-wow-amazing-incredible-fantastic-etc. and it has multiple functions, but rather, it has helped me a lot throughout the working hours to make my teaching easier. Despite this, I do have a favorite brand of whiteboard markers:   These are the best: they are thick, they have different colours (besides these, I have found pink, yellow, orange and purple), and you can buy the ink instead the full whitebo...

Blog 2: Why did I choose this major?

  Hello, dear students. I hope you are having a good day. In today's second blog, I will talk about why I decided to study my major: a bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature.     When I was a child, I was truly scared of going to University: it seemed like an impossible dream to pursue since everyone talked so solemnly about it. My first impulse was to become a baker; it seemed easy at first, but I discovered that it is such a strenuous job, so I quitted that idea immediately. As a high schooler, I wanted to study psychology after I graduated from school, but I declined after my mother talked me out of it: She noticed that I was going to enter a major for the wrong reasons. As I was approaching my school graduation, I decided to pursue this major since English was one of my best subjects at school and, unfortunately, I didn’t have the guts to pursue one of my true passions: plastic arts. Looking in retrospective, and considering all its ups a...
