I still remember the subject I enjoyed the most when I studied was Ciclo Vital, this was part of the baccalaureate curriculum the first two years of university. This subject was about psychology in students'  learning process. Among the topics I can remember, some of the most interesting where connected with the brain, and how it works when learning a new language. We also learned about the stages within the learning process, differences between teaching children and adults and the most suitable techniques to be used with them. I think the reason why I liked this subject is because every person learn in a different way, and it is important for teachers to know the mental process students go through at the moment to learn a new language, as well as having a domain in the use of different techniques to address those needs. 
Most of the classes where expository, Verónica was an excellent teacher because explained very well, besides her classes where entertaining due to the use of visual support and interesting situations to be analyzed  in classes. For these reason I could say that it became my favorite subject at university, I know this class was not directly connected with English like the use grammar, It was rather focused in the learning process itself  and how to improve my teaching which in my opinion was a lot more interesting.

This is one of the last fotos I took that I like , it was taken this year during summer before starting classes. This is my dog :) and he is looking outside by my room's window as he usually does. I think what I like the most about this picture is that it was very spontaneous, I was playing with my camera and he suddenly appeared and I though the colors of the image looked perfect. I don't remember the hour exactly but as it was sunset it looks very warm and I when I see it I have the feeling of a cozy home. I also like the plants shades because even though they are not within the photograph you can realize they are present. 
There is also a fuchsia hydrangea that is one of my favorite flowers, they are very typical to be found in the south of Chile, specially in blue and purple colors. They are really beautiful, that's why I like to have them, it feels like having a part of the south with me. 

One think I like about taking photographs is that you can find beauty in very small details and every person can have a different perception of a place or a moment.
