What the subject was,
Who taught it,
Why you enjoyed it,
What things you learnt in this subject.

Mention anything else you think is important.


Some subjects that I really enjoyed at school were Philosophy and Psychology. The same teacher taught both of those subjects and they were practically the same, but in 11th grade the contents were just about psychology and then, in senior year, the contents were about philosophy. The teacher name was Igor. He was a nice teacher, very helpful and responsable. He always answered all our questions and on his classes he always rewarded us for participate. If you made questions or comments, he gave us extra points for the next test. I was a good student in this class, I was participating and making questions almost all the time. So, I had good grades in both years. I enjoyed a lot his classes because the subjects in matter were very interesting and one of my favorite topics at school. The other classes were boring for me because teachers only pronounced the matter, but not explained it well. In addition, Igor was very clever and systematic in his subject, so me and my classmates were able to understand and learn properly the contents. Furthermore, the main reason of why I enjoyed everything of his classes, was that the contents of the subject really kept my atention and were useful in real life. We studied greek philosophers like Socrates, Platón and Aristoteles, and the tradition of the sophists and presocrats. Also, we talked about the modern philosophy, where we saw Jaspers, Heidegger and others. The essential aspect of this matter is that it made you think, and simply philosophise.

This holiday took place last summer 2013/2014, I stayed almost all summer here in Santiago but in February I went to a little town called "El Yeco", located near Algarrobo. I stayed there about two weeks with my family.

The first part of this holiday, when I stayed in Santiago I practiced a lot of sport and juggling. I enjoyed this part because I met new friends who stayed here, I also spent a lot of time with my grandma whose was sick with cancer.

In February when I went to El Yeco, everyday we got up and went biking on the hills next to the town with my cousins and my brother. There we had a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. Later, we had lunch all together with my family and enjoyed the air of beach. After that, who ever wanted to go to the beach, went and the others stayed at home. At night we all played cards and table games, and then we talked until we were tired.

This holidays is not my best, however it was very important for me because it was the last summer that I spent it with my grandmother and the entire family. In this vacation we got closer to each other.
