CHANGE THE WORLD
The majority of us tend to think that things just
happen. I used to think the same, but as I grew older, I realized that we can
change things around us. Consequently, I decided to take part in something where
I could do so, although it wasn’t an easy task. Despite the fact that it takes
quite a lot of time, I entered different kind of associations so as to try to do
things in the best way I could. Because of that, nowadays, I do voluntary work for
two parents’ associations, I am a Triskel member and I am the treasurer and
reporter of my football team. It has a high price to pay though, because all
the time I spend on it, is time stolen from my family and friends. However, it
is worth it!

One of the most challenging experiences in my
career that’s crossing my mind is my first job as a topographer in Spain. It
happened many years ago but I can perfectly remember my feelings about it, yet.
I had just come back from abroad and I was unemployed.
A friend of mine, unemployed as me, received a letter from the employment
office, giving him information about a job as a topographer even though he had
never worked as one before.
When I read his letter I realized that it came
from my own office and they didn’t send the job to me. Because of my experience in this area, I
couldn’t understand what was wrong. Consequently I went to the office so as to
know the reason. They said to me that the company was looking for a man.
In spite of getting extremely furious, about
what I thought was unfair, I gritted my teeth and I directly phoned the company
asking them for an appointment. As a result, I got the job.
Finally, I wrote to the employment office in
order to fill them in on the event and also ask about their responsibility
referring to this sexist behaviour.

My best friend Helen lived in a small town all her life. When she finished Primary School she decided to come to Zaragoza to study at Public University
Although her family didn`t have enough money to pay
University taxes, she started to work in a restaurant as a waitress in order to earn some money. As a result, she could study what she
wanted: Law.
Despite her effort, and because of “the Crisis”, she hasn`t got a job yet…It´s a pity but I trust her and I know that she
will get a good job soon.
