About my favorite Psychologist

I haven't a one favorite expert in psychology but I remember a autor called Leon Festinger because he make a great theory about the cognitions.

Leon Festinger(May 08, 1919 – Feb 11, 1989) was born in Nueva York, United States .

He Studied psychology at the University of Iowa and after this he served as teacher at the same university.

Festinger specialized in the Social Area of psychology and he works in interesting studies about this area.

I like Festinger because he revolutionized the field of social psychology and his theories have been multiple applications in cognitive studies related to motivation,

decision making among others.

"Theory of Cognitive Dissonance" was a his high succes, in this theory Leon raises that when there is a contradiction between what we do and what we think it causes a cognitive dissonance and that human beings try to solve this with a series of adaptive mechanisms that we resolve the contradiction.

About my hobbies

I have many hobbies it depends of the day, for example if the weather is nice I like walk a lot with a friend or alone for the center of Santiago .
When is too late I like see terror movies with other person (for not to be afraid), read a book can be good too.
When the day is so cold I like stay in my house and write for my blog ,
I like write poems since that I was a child, about 8 years old, and I had a book that I used specially for write poems and draw, it is remember that when I was a child I like draw and paint so much , now I like these activities but I don't have time and money for to do them very often, this situation make me feel so sad but in the last month I may obtain money for buy a acrylic paints and with this can draw and paint a big cat in my the wall of my room this make me feel so good!
I founded the cat in my wall in a book of poetry T.S Elliot, the book contains poems for children and very beauty cat drawings .

Finally , there is a poem of that book:

My earthquake's experiencie

When it happened the earthquake, I was in my house in the second floor sleeping with my sister Carolina, I had no fear because I am got used to earthquake because when I was a child I felt many
earth tremors , at least that I remember.

My mother started to scream but my sister and me never felt fear because both are brave but our other sister was very nervious.

When the earthquake finished every family started to call each other and after that we could be calm .
I was sad every time I saw the news about the earthquake and disasters that it left behind , My sisters were sad too.
One week after the earthquake some friends and I went to help to the people affected by earthquake , My friends traveled to the most affected areas and I worked in a bank associated with the Teleton organized to confront the damage caused by the earthquake.
