Mary Richmond Mary Richmond was a noted social worker, born in 1861 in the United States. She was raised by her grandmother, a feminist activist, which guided her to form a critical and thinking attitude about the demands in front of the world. She is considered as the woman who established Social Work as a profession, since she implemented theories, techniques, etc. that turned the notion of Social Work as solely charitable work, through, for example, home visits and philanthropy, into a profession that seeks the emancipation of people. This was achieved by working based on her knowledge, ideals, perseverance and conviction. I admire her because she was a leading woman in the history of Social Work, even though being a woman at that time was even more complicated because they were seen as inferior to men. Overthrowing all these stereotypes, she was able to establish Social Work as a profession and influence thousands of people in the emancipation of it, for which she directed the hori...

 Hi everyone! This time I will talk about the major I study: Social Work. Social Work is a profession that is practiced and developed under various approaches. From contemporary approaches, Social Work provides the necessary tools to intervene in processes and systems, in order to empower communities regarding emerging problems in their lives. In this sense, I see myself as a professional exercising my work with the aim of generating changes that serve to contribute to a better development of society, either by facing inequality in low-income sectors, working with the needs of children, with the elderly people, with people who suffer violence, etc. Social Work benefits the world because its work is carried out in order to contribute to improving it; intervene under a real understanding of the situations in which it is faced, from a perspective of justice and human rights.

My sister's birth. This was the first photo of my little sister in this world, taken on November 3, 2014. Her name is Amelia, and my mother's name that appears next to her is Claudia. This photo is very important to me, since Amelia's birth is my greatest happiness in life, she came into the world when I was 12 years old and she became the light of my eyes. I am interested in this photo since my sister's pregnancy stage was very complicated, my mother once broke down and almost lost Amelia, for which throughout the pregnancy we were constantly afraid since it was a too delicate and risky pregnancy, and that she was born safe and sound was a miracle for us, which is depicted in the photo. Every time I see this photo, I remember the happiness of the moment, and what would be the love of my life: my little sister.💕💖

 Hi everyone! My favorite food is simple but delicious: noodles with sauce. Since I was little, I have loved noodles with sauce. They are long noodles, which can be made by preparing a dough or bought ready in the stores, and they are accompanied with various sauces. Personally, my favorite noodles are with bolognese sauce, which is made with tomato sauce, ground beef, onion, carrots, garlic, bay leaf, and various dressings, and I also love them with mushroom sauce. With whatever sauce, for me noodles with sauce are the best lunch in the world, because they are easy to cook, cheap, healthy and varied since the sauce can be made with different ingredients. Being a healthy and simple meal in terms of its ingredients, it does not affect my health since I always try to include vegetables in the sauce, in addition to that I eat noodles with sauce once a week and a half approx, so I do not abuse them. I already got hungry, bye!

 Hi everyone! This time I will talk about my favorite technology, which is definitely my cell phone. I have had this Iphone XR model for about 3 months and I love it. I use my cell phone several times a day: to set the alarm, to check the time, to share the internet on the computer, to message with my loved ones, to watch Instagram, to take pictures, to check the weather, to listen to music, etc., that is, I organize a large part of my life thanks to my cell phone. I love it because it is very modern, fast, the size is great and it has a very good camera (this is what I like the most, as it takes good photos). Clearly my life without a phone would be very distressing, since I am used to it because it is fundamental in my day to day, besides that it would bore me too much. Thank you for reading! :)

  Hi everyone! This time I will talk about the career I study. When I was little, I wanted to study when I grew up careers that would help society, and I was determined to study law. Later, when I studied at high school, I began to doubt, so I had as options in addition to law, studying history, sociology, psychology, among other careers. For the same reason, I preferred not to go to university right away to decide well what career to study, so last year I decided to join territorial organizations in my neighborhood, and in the activities we did I discovered that my vocation had to do with action direct in society, so after doing the PSU I finally decided and applied to Social Work. My experience at university so far has been relatively good, since although it has been online, which is very boring, I have gotten used to the system and have had good grades. When I graduate, I would like to work in the territories, with the people, with the childhoods, and feel that I can contribut...
