    I'm a nurse

    I've worked in many places during my twenty years career, mainly in France and its Overseas Departments, but also for a little bit in Switzerland.
    I dreamed of about working in English-speaking countries like New Zealand, yet my English was too awful, and at that time, I was too lazy to learn it. So Then I chose places where knowing English language isn't is not ("is not" isn't incorrect, but "isn't" is usedmost of the time) necessary to live.
    I worked for many surgical and medical medecine departments, as well as also psychiatric ones. and I liked my job in hemodialysis a lot. It was rough, yet very technically and humanly interesting.
    I'm lucky to have such a varying various job and in which there is virtually no unemployment, because I need to change of specialty often, to be adaptable and I dislike routine activities.

    A funny job application

    During In the last summer, my friend and I have decided to search for a work to save some money, so we decided to apply for call centers. We’ve made this that choice not only because call centers are the best places to work in when you have no previous experience, but on top of that because most of them don’t require any engagement and let you the freedom to leave your post whenever you want.

    We started by doing some a research on the internet to find the nearest call centers to our location. In less than 15 minutes, we’ve found one! Not only was it it’s just a few kilometers away from our places, but it’s was also one of the leading companies in the field. We scheduled a Monday to do our application and we started collecting the required documents: a CV, a letter of motivation, etc.

    The day came has come for us to finish that task, but we’ve had a little problem. We didn’t know the exact location of the center, so we asked a taxi driver. The driver himself didn’t know the way, so we had to search for someone to show us the way. I asked a passerby:

    Me: Excuse me sir, could you tell us how to get to Next Call Center?

    The man: You’re kidding! Next Call Center is in the other part of the city!

    At this moment, I was really turned around! (Not sure what you mean by "turned around"; maybe "shocked" or "surprised"?) But I went on:

    Me: I’m sorry sir, but the address given on indicated in their website says it’s not far away from here.

    The man: Hmm they must have changed their office. Anyway, listen carefully to me. I’ll show you the way.

    Me: Yes, thanks.

    The man: Now you’re heading east. You’re actually in the opposite direction. You should turn around. Then go straight down this street for four blocks until you hit “Rue Elisabeth”. There, you will find a bus station. Take the bus number 14, and ask the driver to let you know when you reach “La ville haute”. The bus will drop you off at in the intersection of “Rue 5” and “Rue 4” streets. Make a left and go down the “Rue 4” street. Walk for about 10 minutes and you’ll see the Next Call Center office on your right hand side.

    Me: I think I’ve got it. I’m a bit confused by the amount of indications and directions you gave us, but we’ll be fine.

    The man: I hope you won’t get lost on your way there! Have a nice day.

    Me: Thank you very much sir.

    With the help of the stranger and my GPS phone application, we’ve finally found the location. We applied for the jobs and they told us they will get in touch with us. What a relief!

    The funny part came when they turned down our application!

    Publishing article part 2

    Now that I have emphasized the critical aspect of my thinking, I feel the need to come along with part of a solution.

    As a student in a business management business school, I realized that the percentage of the information retained after a class depends on the implication (I think you mean "attitude", but I'm not sure) I had toward the class. I was would easier keep in mind the things that I have learnt learned and that I think are relevant to me. Some classes are compulsory and have to be passed to move forward, while you can choose from a number of different courses that are offered. among a certain diversity of courses given. Surely it helps when you have the opportunity to choose a class since it should be the one you're the most interested in, but I was thinking beyond this point.

    The Learning should come along with interest for the subject. Thus, I was imagining and trying to conceive a template that could be adjusted to every single student, while allowing them to be in touch with all the different aspects that it concerns.



    The creation of a company from scratch would fit and answer a lot of questions that the students can have in mind. It would start with the definition of a need, either a product or a service, followed by a marketing study to check whether if (not incorrect to use "if", but "whether" sounds better) there is a real target market for the offered product. Then students would have to find suppliers, knowing the price they are willing to pay based on the product price, which that leads us to the financial and accounting aspect of the project, before launching the product and developing an efficient communication strategy.

    In this particular case, we would be studying and working on something concrete. Students are no longer required requested to learn to get a grade. They are no longer neither in competition since every project would be unique, nor classified or ranked but they would rather tend to collaborate, just as the works market does.

    Publishing an article

    In the last 150 years, a lot of things have changed all over the world. Cars are going faster, phones are getting smaller, and new planets are being discovered. Can the same be said about the educational system? If we compare the classes from 1900 with the actual ones, we can truly say that they are quite similar. This forces us to wonder why school remains the same, when while it should aspire to evolve, which translates into change.



    Albert Einstein once said "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believe that it is stupid". At that time, he was already alluding to the educational system, about 80 years ago.

    Is it this because we want to train people to work in factories, which explains why we put students in straight rows nice and neat, telling them to raise their hand if they want to speak and during 8 hours telling them for eight hours what to think?

    How can one teacher stand in front of tens of students, each one having different strengths, different needs, different weaknesses, different dreams and we keep teaching the same thing the same way?

    Students are put in competition to get an A, but I would support the idea that competition does not necessarily lead to better results. If we take Frederick J.Kelly's words, the man who invented standardized testing, I quote "these tests are too crude to be used and should be abandoned". How can a multiple choice question determine success? Most of the graduate students affirm that 80% of their knowledge does not come from school, but from their own experience in life. The School gives you a lesson and then comes a test ; when in life, you are given many tests every day that teaches you a lesson. 

    Nowadays, we need people who think creatively, innovatively and independently, with the ability to connect. Creativity comes from the freedom to express its ideas and the opportunity to develop what students do best. The educational system should promote collaboration instead of competition, forcing students to work together, as they are going to work with other colleagues in the future.

    If we are able to customize healthcare, phones, or Linkedin pages, it is our duty to do the same for the educational system. Why would keep teach the same way when everyone is unique?

    My summer school experience in Eureka College

    During the In this summer holidays, I attended a summer program for of my university at to Eureka College. It was a memorable month for me. I joined the program with my friend. Besides, I have met lots of people from of my university who were in at different grades and majors.
    I went to Washington D.C., New York City and Chicago during this in this journey. New York was different from what I thought it was. The streets were a little dirty and messy, but as a prosperous city, it had many kind of brands and buildings. Many people dreamed to go dream of going to America, because it is a place of freedom. You can do anything and be anyone in New York.
    I had a fight with my accompanied friend several times during this trip  I had several fights with my friend during the trip. He said it was my bad fault that I got had a bad temper, which I did not agree with. It was him who irritated me and left me alone.
    I have no idea why I like this man, despite and I'm trying not to. It's too difficult for me.
    Does every man like to make the girl who loves him sad just because he thinks she will love him forever?

    Your first kiss or your first love

    Day 3 - 30 Day Writing Challenge

    My first love or my first kiss. Let's see! I was twelve or thirteen years old. We were a party at my neighbour's and all my family was invited. I don't remember what the party was for. Anyway, I talked to this guy that I had a crush on and when I was about to leave he kissed me. It was a bit awkward and I didn't see it coming. He was three years older than me and had got these beautiful green eyes. But after the party, I didn't see him much. We didn't live in the same city. So it was only when he was visiting his aunt who is my neighbour that I saw him. Even if we didn't become a thing, I will always remember my first kiss.
