post 10: a very nice day

I can't just use only one picture to talk about a nice day, so I'll use two to show you. This was my grandfather birthday. In the first picture I was playing with my cousin, in that time he has only one year old, and was a restless kid, that characteristic hasn’t changed over time, so I finished exhausted. You can also see my mother; she is with her back to us.

In the second picture, you can almost see all my family, for my father side; is easy for me to recognize my brother, how is taking the baby buggy, and my cousins is near him. I also see one of my aunts, my parents and my grandparents.

That day we travel to Rio Clarillo, is a very beautiful place. But Rio Clarillo was close to the tourist, so my advice to you is ”you need to go there early”. But we solve the problem going to a place near, "El Parque Aleman", that place is a camping site with a pool and barbecues. We ate a lot, we cook meat, chicken, sauces, salad and also bought some snacks.

That day was special, not only because was my 78 years old birthday; also because my grandfather didn’t go out so often, so was a very big event. Even was a restless day, I finished happy for all the things that I did, like babysitting my cousin Daniel, play and talk with my other cousins (Diego, Gabriela and Jennifer). In the afternoon, we bought homemade bread from a rural store. Then each one returns to their home.

Post 9: Ideas worth spreading

I believe that every word that Sir Ken Robinson says is true. One of the most important things for us, as mankind, is the education; because knowledge is the base of our society and also the renewal resources for our future. However, right now we have fundamentals problem with our education system, our politician believe that we need to standardized the common knowledge, so the teachers teach to everyone the same, is true that we need a common base to understand the world a his relations or to choose a different path suit to our desires or dreams, but is impossible to teach the same to each one, because we have different capacities and talents.

The education is a fundamentals subject for every country; a very good example is the case of Japan. After the second war their country was in ruins and his economy unsustainable, the politician decide to send people to study in the best universities of the world, 50 years later, Japan become in one of the most important economics of the world. This example is a prove of the importance of the Education.

However we can say that is difficult to notice an improvement of the educational systems, due to how mechanistic is the educations today or how the economical profits regulate the systems. These are not only politician problems, they are also a people problems, because we all have to make an effort, is not a choice don't do something to achieve a better education system, where the knowledge is not standardized and the choice ore dreams are depleted by profits. Our future is in jeopardy¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
