I really admire Jean William Fritz Piaget (1896 - 1980).
He was an epistemologist and a psychologist, creator of genetic epistemology. He is famous for his contributions in the field of genetic epistemology, for their childhood studies and for his theory of cognitive development and intelligence. Piaget was born in 1896 in Neuchatel, in the Francophone region of Switzerland.
Piaget was a precocious child who developed an interes in biology and the natural world. He was educated at the university of Neuchatel, and studied briefly at the University of Zurich. Piaget moved from Switzerland to Paris, after his graduation and he taught at the Grange-Aux-Belles Street School for Boys. The school was run by Alfred Binet and he stated that intelligence developement so Piaget assisted in the making of Binet's intelligence tests. It was while he was helping to mark some of these tests that Piaget noticed that young children cosistently gave wrong answers to certain questions. Piaget did not focus so much on tha fact of the children's answers being wrong, but that young children cosistently made types of mistakes that older children and adults did not. This led him to the theory that young children's cognitive processes are inherently different from those of adults. In 1923, he married Valentine Chanetay and they had three children, whom Piaget studied from infancy. From 1925 to 1929 he was professor of psychology, sociology and the philosophy of science at the University of Neuchatel. 
In his logical model of intellectual development he mention that intelligence develops in a series of stages that are related to age and are progressive because one stage must be accumplished before the next can occur. For each stage of development the childs forms a view of reality for that age period.
Next, the child must keep up with earlier level of mental abilities to reconstruct concepts. He defined this as an "spiral of concepts".
I admire Piaget because he created a new conception of education, which was very important and is important today too.

Hi there! well, here's a little about myself:


I was born in Providencia on February 1, 1994 at Santa María's clinic, just one day before my mom's birthday.
I went to Andalué's garden and then i started my school life in Verbo Divino's school where I made many friends. This school taugh me that there will always be people who care about themselves and not care about the lives of others, anyway, i could get out of that bubble and enter Universidad de Chile in 2013 to study psychology.
Basketball has always been my partner along my life and thanks to this sport i could enter to this good university.
I also like music, especially reggae, funk, hip hop and jazz and I listen to it everyday.
In my family we are 6: my dad and mom, Valentina my older sister, my brother Teodoro, my brother Ignacio, and then me, the youngest of the family!
My family and I have always liked to travel together or individually, bus what I really like is to travel with friends with a few coins!
See you around bro...

I will never forget the day i went to see the Maquinaria Festival in 2011.
Maquinaria Fest is a music festival of many different music styles but most of the music groups play rock but also contains a little of reggae and hip-hop. 
This concert was showed in Sao Paulo in 2008. Transistor Chilean producer bought and exported the brand to Chile to do it on October 9, 2010 at the Club Hípico of Santiago. Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus, Linkin Park and Pixies were the headliners.
After the great success of this festival in 2010, the concert was present in 2011, 2012 and also 2013.
The second version in 2011, which was on 12 and 13 of November, at Club Hípico of Santiago, was attended by over 100,000 people in the two intense days of music. I was there. There were three stages, and each stage played different styles of music .
I really enjoy it because many of my favorite groups of music were playing. This time the headlines were Faith no more, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Chris Cornell, Stone Temple Pilots, Snoop Dogg, Sonic Youth, Primus and Damian Marley. I was there to see Damian Marley, Snoop Dogg, SOJA, Violadores del Verso and Movimiento Original.
