My Autobiography-Who am I?

 



I am Valentina Escalona Loncón, I was born on July 18, 2002 in Santiago, Chile. At elementary school I studied at the Chillán school in La Florida. Later, I studied two years of my high school at the Siglo XXI school in La Florida and my last two years were at the Liceo Paula Jaraquemada in Recoleta.

I am studying anthropology at Universidad de Chile I am in my first year, the career has helped me to find new hobbies such as reading universal history, interest in osteology and watch documentaries about human evolution. Cleaning my house during the pandemic has become a new hobby, I can distract myself for hours by performing this action. 

Currently l am living in Huechuraba with my mother and my maternal grandmother, I  have two older brothers, who already have their own family and house.

Blog 3: My dream job

Imagen
Pedagogy of history to Anthropology physic  Since elementary school I had  the dream of being a history teacher, in high school  the only thing  I did was  to enhance that dream. I prepared myself to give a good PTU  and be able  to enter the UMCE, I did history classes before the tests  and there  was even and time when  I gate private lessons to people outside my school, the truth is that I really liked teaching and more it if was  history. In my fourth year of high school,  I saw that this dream was getting closer and closer, and it was when I was finally able to reflect on the disadvantages of choosing this profession; job field and salary. I talked to many professors about the "unpleasant" part of this discipline, and sadly they confirmed what I already knew, it was very difficult to find a job, as there were quite a few history professors. Finally, I got into anthropology, at first it was for social anthropology, but now I feel I like physical anthropology more. I imagi

A photo and its Story

Imagen
I took this photo on October 8 when I went to the Colonial Art Museum in San Francisco, there is a great diversity of animals in this place; chickens, cats, peacocks and fish. The peacock in the photo looked at my cell phone camera and I took the photo immediately. I like this photo because of the curious look the peacock has, as if it wants to identify who are the people who are visiting its quiet space.  The interesting thing about the moment of the photo was that the peacock was the one that approached me and not the other way around, I didn't even make a sound or movement for it to approach, it approached on its own. Apparently it was a peacock sociable with humans. I am struck by how natural the animal appears, almost always in peacock photos photographers expect the peacock to open its big wings, being that the look is also something quite interesting that we should appreciate more.

Blog 4: Time travel to the past or future

Imagen
 Mmm I think I would like to travel to both eras, but for a short time (a week in each), this would be to have time to explore, discover and reflect on situations that I will explain later.  Usually, historical facts have several sources and stories that contradict each other (mainly when it comes to wars, discoveries and colonizations), for this reason I would go to the past to discover and observe to have an opinion about it, since many times in historical texts situations are "censored" or sometimes it is simply because they are unknown due to lack of archaeological material. Also, I would like to travel to the past to observe the way of life of some people who are no longer in the present, since sometimes anthropologists have the bad habit that when they do not know why such people did such activity, the answer will always be "ritual", being that it could not always have been so. On the other hand, I would like to travel to the future because of the uncertainty
