NOMOPHOBIC DIALOGUE

JAN: Can I arrest your mobile during a week, Susan?

SUSAN: Are you kidding me?

JAN: No, I want you o be aware of your obssesion. I’m really worried about you and I want to stop this.

SUSAN: I’m aware of it, but this problem it’s not as easy as you think. I’ve  been fighting against it since I was 13, and it hasn’t got any better.

JAN: I know it’s difficult, but I can’t stand seeing you with the mobile phone every minute of the day. Let me help you, I promise we can get over it.

SUSAN: Wow, it’s the first time you tell me this. I didn’t know you were so worried about me, and I’m really sorry because it’s something I can control.

JAN: Trust me. First of all, I think te should go to a doctor. This obsession must be treated by a specialist.

SUSAN: It’s not easy for me Jan. I’m really scared not to escape from this obsession. Help me please, I will fight as hard as I can to get over it.

A new life

We’re finishing batxillerat and I can say next year something will change my life radically. Even I’m not totally sure which degree I will do, I know I want to go to live in Barcelona and if I can, study in the University named “Pompeu Fabra”. 

To start a new type of “life” far from home it’s something that makes me feel really anxious. New routine, new friends, new goals to get and a new life really different from that I have, for me it sounds really great. 

Even though, I have to admit that sometimes I’m scared and I think that everything will be too much for me. But then I talk with some friends of mine, who are living and studying in Barcelona, and they said to me that there everything is easier than I could think.   

"#BringBackOurGirls"

On 14 of April some girls were taken from their school in Chibok (Nigeria), and on this news we can see how American Government wants to fight and help them.  There are more than 200 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls and they are violated and forced to do cruel things.

Lady Michelle Obama for example is someone who is organizing campaigns to help people from these poor countries, who are arrested. 

"#BringBackOurGirls" is the hastag from the slogan on the BBC's Andrew Marr show. There is a lot of support from America there are a lot of campaigns to finish with this type of situations which are around the world. Mr Cameron tweeted: "Proud to support #BringBackOurGirls."

- My opinion

It’s really terrible to read on the news poor people are arrested, and that there are more than 200 kidnapped only in Nigeria. But well, now we’re talking about Nigerian people, but unluckily there are thousands countries more living this situation.

During this term we’ve talking about Human Rights, and with this news we can see how million of people haven’t got some of these rights. For me, it’s really sad but we have to be aware that it’s really difficult to finish with this type of things.

Education is the key

“If you don’t build your dreams, someone else will hire you to help build theirs”

It’s important to fight as much as you can to get all you want. I think to have dreams in life it’s one of the most important things we should have ourselves. It help you a lot to be motivated and to feel like to “eat the world”. 

 “Education is about inspiring one’s mind, not just filling their head”

I totally agree with this sentence. Is it education about filling our heads and memorize thousands of words only to remember them for some hours? I’m a student and I have to say that I’ve lived this situations lot of times, and from my point of view it’s horrible. It’s horrible because after the exam you forget absolutely what you studied by head some hours ago. 

 “as long as you follow the rules and pass the exams, you’re cool”

I love this sentence and I think our education is based on this; we’re evaluated only for our marks and to do what someone else tell us to do. Personally, I would prefer another system to evaluate students; inspiration, improvisation, creativity, innovation…
