As a child, I really liked studying but I honestly disliked going to school because I felt I couldn't learn much and I used to see the institution with remorse for being more than a school, a jail to me.

I also disliked the type of things we had to learn, but all in all, I started to really enjoy a class where we had to use tools to build pieces of furniture, small robotic devices, etc.  The class does not exist in the school system anymore, it was called "Técnico Manual"

I remember the biggest challenge when I decided to work with metal and welding tools. It was just great! I could share a lot with my father, getting to have a very healthy and loving environment for both of us to share and I developed a taste for achitecture I did not have.


Learning to do things with my hands helped me in many dimensions. Nowadays, becuase of all the effort me and my family and school made, I could acquire plenty of knowledge, not only related to scholastic topics and it has been very useful in my life.

    Wow, that class looks very interesting!!! I wish there were more teaching methods that promote creativity and don't make school feel like a prison.

    At my last years of school I had the same feelings as you, as if I where in a jail more than in a school.

    Many of us hated going to school, but we always ended up finding something we’re passionate about.

    That is really interesting! I think that in school we should learn things more useful for our lifes.

    From my point of view the most important things in the life we learned in other places, not in the school

    I think that all the manual stuff are so great to develop other capacities and abilities because you can use anytime and place.

    In my opinion students should have more recreational experiences that encourage creativity and ingenuity. That way it would not be so difficult to get out of the box when is necessary.

    When I was 12 years old I had a class like that in school. I remember that a had to recreate the "Fenix capsule" from the 33, in a miniature version ( like a model architecture).

    Always in school I liked the most artistic or manual subjects, they were much more entertaining.

    I also loved that kind of classes. I remember creating a "robot arm" for the technoilogy subject, a friend of my mom helped me, and we spent a fun time building it.

For some time I had been quite disconnected from all society, I had already spent 6 months without a mobile. Back then I had started working for a telecommunications company and I had to be on the phone mostly all day long, and that's why I decided, in the end, to get rid of the #cell-phone". Time went by and some day I had an urgency, I had to hand in a very, very importan document, but with the rush, I left it over my desk at home, and the only way to get it was to call my...

Write at least 150 words. Add comments to at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs The story of a picture This might look a bit naive but , let me tell you, it is alcohol!, it was taken at a pub in Paris, in a bar across from Place Vendome. I was with friends and we wanted to see the non-romantic and alternative side of the city. This picture is a portrait of the memories I have from my best holiday ever, and even though I haven’t had many superb holidays, because most of time I prefer visiting my family more than anything else, I have had some memorable ones. It was the year 2008, if I don’t remember incorrectly; and I was under big stress because I had had several problems at my job. Anyway, to make a long story short, I dropped by the place I used to work for an...
