"The strike"

I remember that my first protest march was in my senior year as they wouldn’t let us go while we had classes, so the only possibility of being in a manifestation it was playing hooky. So, when I arrived in Santiago, march through the Alameda was exciting because I had never been in such mass manifestations. Unfortunately and perhaps because my school is private, we never urged to talk about the problem of education, so when I entered to the University I tried to attend all the activities that I could. 

From my point of view this kind of protest it works, because if it weren’t for that we wouldn’t be talking or discussing issues such as the struggle for a free and a quality education. But, I also believe in the spaces that are created in many communities to generate dialogue and debate, whenever there is participation and enthusiasm. Unfortunately I don’t believe too much in the strikes that are made in our faculty since participation is minimal and many take this instance as a little vacations, something that clearly diverts the goals that the movement wants to generate.

As many, I believe that the quality of education provided also comes from each classroom and teacher, and how committed they are when they teach. I mean, those who have real vocation are part of the people who can help to solve this problem.

Finally, I don’t visualize me teaching something, but if it came the time to do that, I would worry to share my knowledge in the best way with everyone. Even so, I will continue participating while I can in manifestations, protest marches and activities.
