I. POLITICS

Hello everybody! I hope you are all fine. In today’s blog I am going to talk a bit about how my

vision about politics has changed.

Despite growing up in a home with really marked right-wing thoughts and, have been

repeatedly told that politics is not a topic you should talk about, my ideology has always been

linked to a left-wing kind of view. Although I could only identify it as left-wing ideology when I

was older.

My parents always keep telling me that politics was a issue where you can’t change anything.

Politics is what it is and, there is nothing you can do about it. You just must keep working and

not to worry about matters in which we do not have real interference. However, I had a lot of

concerns and could not believe that everything was so static.

In the beginning, when I started to get interested in the subject, I had a hard time

understanding how something that was so strange for me, could have real repercussions in my

life. But, little by little, I began to understand. And, thanks to some schoolteachers who taught

me how to be confidence in talking about my ideas and concerns aloud, something that I find

hard to do when you are a woman who wants to talk about politics.

Politics stopped being something that I did not have a part off into an important part of my

life. Finally, I understood how to play this game and that, if I am not content with its rules, I

must play to change them.
