It is very hard to know which one could be the most important invention of all times. There are people who say the most important inventions are the ones that have new technology. Apple is a company known for its high-tech cellphones, tablets, and computers. For example, the iPod was a cutting-edge invention at the time. You could listen to music everywhere. Other people say that the best inventions are those who offer high quality. For instance, airplanes must be always top-of-the-line, because they transport people through the air. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the best inventions have new ideas. The internet was revolutionary because there was nothing like that in the world, and it has changed everything in the last few years. Other example of an innovative invention was the railways, that were an important part of the industrial revolution!

 If I were the president of Colombia, I would make relevant public policy to create opportunities for the most vulnerable people. If this was a possibility, this public policy would guarantee access to all the necessary benefits, avoiding excessive paternalism.  The objective of these kind of policies and strategies would be to provide learning opportunities, instead of a simple subsidy or donation.  If I won the lottery, I would be very happy. Money means financial stability, and this is something everyone wants. I could buy a big house for my family, and pay my childrens' schools and future universities.  I would go to Disney Land, if I went to the U.S. with my family. I am sure my kids would really love it there, because of all the mechanical attractions, foods, and familiar characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse!

My favorite invention is probably the internet.  At the beginning, it was a simple invention that changed the world. This invention was very high tech at that moment, because everyone needed computer and a connection that was very slow and it made a lot of noise. Now, the internet can be very high end. Particularly, in countries like Japan and Korea, because the amount of data that goes through the internet is a lot. I can't wait for other novel and revolutionary inventions and discoveries human kind will unravel in the future!

 

I really like holidays because there is time to rest and enjoy with my family. If someone asked me which one is my favorite, I would not be able to decide. But there are two that I really enjoy:           I like to celebrate the 8 th of December, because this day is also the birthday of my daughter. The party that I have planned this year has a theme: Masha and the Bear. The kids who live in my neighborhood celebrate with their parents the 20th of July. This day is very special, because Colombians celebrate the country's Independence Day.  The people who live in my town usually raise the Colombian flag because they like to celebrate this special day.  

I work as a social worker. I can't say I should have studied anything else. I could have studied anything else, but social work is something that I really like. This passion is critical for my success in my job. I think my strongest ability is my project management skill, and my ability to persuade and communicate with the community. We must meet the community very often, so this is very important. I could have not done this job without these skills. I don't have as much experience as I would like, but I am trying my best to be better everyday.

During the weekdays, from Monday to Friday, I usually get up and go to exercise in the gym. Then, I get the kids ready, so they can go to school. After all of this, I get ready and go to work. I am a social worker, so I work with the social area of a specific pavement infrastructure project, with a national office called “Social Prosperity”. This office oversees public policy, plans, programs, and projects that seek to improve the life of violence victims and vulnerable people. I really like my job because I feel like I am helping people in need. On weekends, besides working on Saturday, I also must travel for English lessons to Barranquilla. This is my final English level, so I can finish my studies. Finally, I go back to my hometown and start my routine again! 😁😋💪
