My Career

I'm not sure of why I choose this career: Psychology. Maybe because as many people says is a way to answer yourself your doubts about human things like preocupations, feelings, emotions and personality.
There are many ways to contribute to society as a psychologist, for example, working with individual persons , with groups and with entire comunities, by helpping to resolve problems. An individual problem could be deppresion or anxiety and a colective problem could be tensions between workers or family's fightings.
My favourite subject is...until now "Psychology" because as I am in first year, is the only one subject directly related with my interests (the others are complementary as antropology, methodology, Chile's Social History...).
I'm interested in Clinical Psychology, but who says that maybe I change my mind. I would like to study for a few months at Spain or anywhere outside of chile, to learn new things that are not include in the program of this university.
In the future I would like to help other people as my psychologist helps me some years ago. Maybe that experience motivated my interest in psychology, and gave me the idea to study this career.

A photograph that I like

A photo that I like is one that apeared in the Rolling Stone just after Jhon Lenon's death. He's naked hugging Yoko Ono in a white bed (I suppose that is a bed, maybe is just the floor) and Yoko Ono is wearing black clothes.
The photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz, an important photographer that worked with famous people, but the important think was her particular point of view, a little artistical and very spontanious. In a documentary, many celebrities said that when Annie was arround with her camera, she wasn't impertinent and make people feel confortable. She was able to open people's inside and share them to the world. This quality was an important key to understand her photos.
The curious thing about this particular photo is that it was took a few hours before Jhon Lenons' murder. It was in his appartmen or in a hotel (I'm not sure).
I like this photo because is so...simple. I appreciate the photo for the content, I just look two people that realy care each other and in a very natural way they look for the warm of the othe, I don't like it because of Jhon Lenon (in fact, I don't listen to the Beatles).

My new psychology favourite website

I heard many times about http://www.apa.org/ but I didn't visit that web, until now. Is a very complete website for any psycology student or worker, because it contains lots of updated researches, information by cathegories, news, issues, investigations, links and many other things. I think that in the future I will use this page to university works and to satisfy my own hunger of knowledge.
The first time that I try to found something interesting in this page, I found an article about "Avoiding Heterosexual Bias in Language". It explain some differenses beetwen "lesbian" or "gay" and "homosexual". Many people use those words like synonymous, but they mean or unless represent different thigs. Here is the link if you want to learn more: http://www.apastyle.org/sexuality.html

Me and butters

Hi, I'm Camila Canovas. I live in Chile whit my mother and my dad. I have a brother, but he lives near his university (my home is a bit far from his university).
I use my free time cooking sweet things like pies, cookies, fruit desserts and other thing, I play my piano wich is white (I playing classical music) and I see my favourite TV programs.
I would like to learn english because I think that if you know english, many doors will be open for me. In any country people speack english, and many scientific papers and investigations are written only in english. I will permet me to travel to eny place and feel confidence of my self to be able to make me understand.
