Why do i want to be a vet?

First, this is not my first program. I studied Nursery before enter to Medical Veterinary, but I knew that nursery wasn’t my vocation, I love more the animals that people, and I’ll do everything to help them.

When I was a little Lya, I have many dreams of my future: dentist, doctor, nurse, psychologist, and much more. But finally, I decided veterinary for my Lya’s future.

 I thought that this university will be so much complex, and it will be hard to adapt here. How I came from Antofagasta, I believed that this should be so hard for me, far away from my family and alone in this big city. But it wasn’t. Here I found a lot of friends who i shared many experiences and I totally forget how difficult could be stay here. The classes are totally fun and I think now that this is my place I have to be.

In the future, I would like to have a farm, because I don’t like the actually slaughterhouses, and I believe that are many forms of eat meet without make suffer the animals. It should be human and without pain.

my dog breed !

 

 

Collie 97% match

 

The collie is an active, lithe, strong dog that combines strength, speed and grace. Its gait suggests effortless speed as well as the ability to change speed and direction instantly, as required in herding dogs. The coat can be of two types, both with a soft, abundant undercoat. The outer coat of the smooth variety is short, hard and flat; that of the rough variety is straight, harsh, abundant and long, particularly on the mane and ruff. The collie's expression is an important hallmark of the breed, and depends upon the shape and balance of the skull and muzzle, as well as the characteristics of the eyes and ears. It should be bright, alert and intelligent — traits accentuated by a fairly refined head.

 vocabulary:
sprinter: veloz
jogger: corredor
breed: raza
to hunt: "para cazar"; cazador.
laid-back approach:
watchdog: perro vigilante; perro guardian
grooming: cepillar; peinar

gait: caminar; forma de caminar

coat: pelaje

Can dogs understand what we say?

Whimper: llorar
tail-wag: movimiento de cola
leash: correa, cadena.
deaf people: persona discapacitada auditivamente (sorda; sordo-muda)
hind quarters: partes traseras (trasero)

The text is about how dogs can understand us with simples words like “sit” or “stand”, but it also associate the words with objects or the form of language, and that’s why the obey almost all the instructions.

My opinion... in exclusive!

What is your opinion about “barras bravas”?
I believe that could be fine if they show a little of respect between themselves, without violence.

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?
Depends of the case, for example if the baby comes with a malformation that can be lethal for the mother, a therapeutic abort could be the best to save the mother’s life.  But if it’s about a pregnancy by violation or by an irresponsibility from the parents should not be permitted, because are other options like give in adoption. A baby, wherever was the cause of conceive, have rights to live.

What is your opinion about killing stray dogs?
Is the most terrible option to “clean” the streets, they also have rights to live. Give them in adoption, create a doghouse (without killing them) or an organization that collect funds are options that we should take.

What is your opinion about tattoos?
They are cool! :D ok, being serious, is a serial decision that should not be taken easy. A tattoo is a permanent mark in our body, and for that, we should choose carefully what are we going to express, because we’ll could not chance of mind later.

What is your opinion about child labor?
Is so terrible! They are many foundations and organizations against the child labor, and still exist that. Is so sad and frustrating when a little child ask you for a coin and you cannot do anything to change the child’s situation but give him the mentioned coin :(

My favorite band!

I like many kinds of music: rock, electro, symphonic metal, a bit of grunge, etc., but just one band can descript all about my feelings and living, and its name is Garbage.
Is performed by Shirley Manson (vocal), Duke Erikson (bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig (drums, percussion). Vig was producer of the album “never mind” of nirvana. Garbage is an alternative rock band and Steve Marker says that the band wanted to take pop music and make it as horrible sounding as they can.
Garbage started in 1995 with the homologue disc, and the separated on 2005 because Shirley “don’t have the same excitation in the scenario” and the returned after a long break in the 2010 with their last album “Not your kind of people”.
I’ve heard all (ALL) their songs and I love it all. Garbage can put into word all my feeling in my whole life, and every song is a remember I have. I like their style and I love Shirley’s voice.
My favorite song is “run baby run” because is like I feel now in my new life at Santiago, it involves me in a explosion of emotion that I cannot explain.

my first post !

Hello! My name is Lya Barraza, I’m 19 years old and I was born in Antofagasta, Chile. My mom is called Ana and my dad is called Yerko. I also have a brother called Dante and he is 12 years old. We have a pet called Squishee and it’s the most adorable thing, we love it a lot.

 At elementary school I studied at Colegio Santa Emilia in Antofagasta. Later, I completed high school in the same school in Antofagasta.

When I was 18, I started to study Nursery in U. Antofagasta, but it wasn’t what I wanted, so I changed program and now I’m studying Veterinary Medicine in Santiago, Chile.

I like to listen to music, my favorite band is Garbage. I love to play videogames, my favorite game is Silent Hill. I also like to travel; my next destiny is to go to Temuco, Chile.

I’m in a beautiful relationship with my boyfriend Nicolas, and the next month we are going to be of anniversary. I’m so happy with him.
