Evaluation of your blogging experience

I think that using blogs to practice English is a good alternative to what is commonly used to learn English. I think it is something new, I don't know if this methodology is used elsewhere.
I liked the experience to comment on the post of the other companions, as it helped me to know them a little more and realize that I have interests in common with some of them.
The post of the films was very entertaining to read, record many movies that I want to see a long time ago and that I still can't see them.
I don't know if my writing skills improved a lot, but this is my fault, I misuse the translator a little. Because, I had other things to do and think during this semester and I didn't take enough time to perform this activity conscientiously.
A future I would like everyone to choose the topic of each post and to evaluate only a number of words and good writing. For example, I would like to write about how we are changing as a society. I believe that we are beginning to become more aware of the animal suffering, the diseases caused by eating animal foods and how this can be reversed with vegan food.

Person on my field that I admire

The person I most admire from my field is Lelya Troncoso Pérez. I met her when she took the subject of "Critical Gender Perspectives and Feminist Theories 2016" in which I was her student.
There is not much information on the internet about her biography. I could only find out about her academic life.
She graduated as a psychologist from the "University of Valparaiso", a master's degree in social psychology from the "Arcis University" and the "Autonomous University of Barcelona" and a Master of Science in Gender Studies from the University of Lund, Sweden.
He is Assistant Coordinator of Postgraduate Psychology Department at University of Chile. And external evaluator of articles for the magazine "Society and Equity" of the University of Chile.
she has presented in congresses, formed part of research and published articles mainly, on gender and sexuality.
She has also been research assistant for the following Fondecyt Projects:
- "Construction of generational stories about our recent past (1970-1990) in the setting of four places of memory in Santiago" (Department of Psychology, University of Chile).
- "Places of memory as scenarios of construction of generational stories about our recent past" (University of Chile).
Her line of research to follow in the Doctorate of Psychology of the University of Chile is: social psychology (critical), studies of gender / feminisms, studies of collective memory.
I admire her because I think she's a good person. In her classes I was able to perceive that she does not feel superior to her students as many teachers do. And most importantly, she is a feminist.
