Lev Vygotsky was a Russian national psychologist who was born on November 17, 1896. He is one of the leading psychologists in the field of developmental psychology and also founded historical-cultural psychology. However, it has only been possible since 1960 to know the work of this psychologist around the world, since translations into different languages were previously based on what was permitted by the Soviet regime. His work is based on topics such as: the origin and development of higher mental functions, philosophy of science, the relationship between learning and human development, the relationship between language and thinking and play understood as a phenomenon psychological. One of the most important statements is that it indicated that intelligence developed through psychological tools that were in the child's environment. Being the language a fundamental tool. I admire this referent of psychology, because it includes within its theories the sociocultural co...

Overall I really like Italian food. That's why I'm going to talk about spinach and ricotta panzottis, which are mastic stuffed with a paste of cooked spinach and ground (mixed with dressings), ricotta and sometimes, you can add a little protein (turkey, chicken, beef). This dish comes from Italy, specifically from the province of Liguria. Actually I really like the food, and I learn the recipes in my experiences. However, I remember when I was little I went to "Captain Pastene" (a colony of Italians in Chile), where is the family of my cousins. It was there that I began to acquire a taste for Italian food, and learned various recipes by observing. I don´t remember the first time I cooked this dish, however, I remember a couple of years ago with my mom, we did all the preparation with 100% natural ingredients, and the result was fantastic. I really don´t have any measure to cook, because I use the ingredients while I cook, so I will name the steps and ingredient...

This photograph was taken by my father in January 1997, in the Hospital of Santa Cruz, when i was new born. My mother, called Soledad, and  I appear in the photograph . I´m the eldest daughter and the first granddaughter of the family, so  my mother´s  pregnancy was full of affection and much expectation, so that I was also received with a lot of enthusiasm and love. I really like this photo, because it reflects my  mother´s  attachment and love. In addition, my mother is smiling, and that agrees with the complicity that we have until today. My mother likes children very much and she always says that she would have liked to have more children, since she only has three. Maybe she was the one who passed me the taste for the children, and interest in the area I like in psychology, developmental psychology. In the future, I would also like to be a mother, and to have a relation as beautiful as the one I have with my mother.

In general I can´t say I have a favorite movie, because I like a lot of movies. However, I will try to make an effort and list three films that are within my favorites . I will first mention "the longest ride", which is a romantic drama that I first saw a rainy day of 2015 in the cinema with a friend. I cried most of the movie, because there were many exciting and unexpected events, and that's what I liked, the sequence of dramas and events that left teaching not only to the protagonists, but to me as a spectator made me reflect. I couldn´t decide on a specific scene, but I especially liked the middle and the final part. There, an old man had an accident and served as an example and testimony of love for a young couple who was the protagonist of the film. Secondly I could say that another of my favorite films is "the minions", a very famous animated film that I saw many times in the cinema accompanied by different people, in 2015. I liked it a lot b...

Actually, I´m not a person very fond of technology, but I have a favorite technological object, and that is very useful for everyday life. I have had very bad luck with cellphones, I have lost them due to theft or accidents. The cellphone I currently have, I got it in May last year, considering the screen of the cellphone I had before got broke. My smartphone, I use it mainly to communicate, by means of calls, messages and social networks, both for formal and informal matters. I use it frequently, I always go with it. I like it, because as its name says, it seems to be a smartphone. I can find help to solve some problems, and the most important, is that I can communicate with my family and friends I can´t imagine my life without my smartphone, in fact, when I forget it at home, I feel empty and drifting, without the possibility of searching for important information on the internet, and unable to communicate with people I do not have around.

When I was a child I wanted to be stewardess, because I found it entertaining what they were doing. I also liked the uniform they used. When I was 17 I took the PSU admission test to get into university, but I still did not decide which career to study, I had many options in mind, for example literature and letters, pedagogy in language, sociology, anthropology, but only humanist careers. Finally, when I learned the score I had achieved, I decided to study psychology at this university. My experience in the university up to now has been interesting, because I have learned a lot more than I thought I would learn, and every time I think I´ll find out more. I still do not I have decided I want to work when I graduate, but I like the area of juridical psychology, and especially the area of development psychology, for example, I would like to work in SENAME or in the school.
