Pierre Fauchard


Today I'll talk about the most important person in Odontology, he`s Pierre Fauchard, recognized like the father of this career.
I heard the history of Pierre Fauchard at the beginning of this year at university when a historian present us an oral presentation of the history of Odontoloy.
He was born in Britain in 1678 and died at the year  1729. He was a militar surgeon, who in 1728 published his first book of Odontology, call "Le chirurgen dentiste ou traité des dents" in which talk about the firsts previews of Odontology and in 1947 he published the second edition of his book with more material and better illustrartions. 
This second edition is considered like the most important book of the odontologic history, because with this book Pierre Fauchard differentiate between a surgeon of a dentist surgeon, and in fact he was recognized like the first dentist surgeon. And also this book was used like basis for all the new books of Odontology in the future, because it had great information of this area.
Nowadays his contribution was very important, because without him, maybe we haven´t all the things and techniques that we use in Odontology, and all the things that proffesors teach us at University was connected with these firsts studies.

The Facebook

          Today exist a lot of social networks, in which the people can make different things, like express their feelings, show photos, etc. The most popular in this time is The Facebook, this is relly good, but there is problems with it too.
          Facebook was founded in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, with the purpose of meet people and have contact with them, regardless where they,re from. Is very usefull, because we can see important people for us, that be very far, and know how they are in his photos or talk with them by chat. But Facebook also have bad things, for example when you chat with people, you don`t know,  if the person in the computer is really who you think.  Therefore if a children enter to facebook and begins to talk with a stranger, this could be very dangerous, because a lot of rapist use this medium to find his victims.

My Favorite Photograph

        This photo was taken by the sport  representative of the students center of my school, in the gym, after an internal baby football championship, this was in the year 2012, when I was in last year of highschool, in it I`'m with some of my schoolmates and they were not only schoolmates, they were really good friends, and they still are and in this case also my baby football partners. In the photo you can see us with a trophy, because we won the championship.
         I like very much this photo for different reasons, mainly because all of us were very happy and together and in this moment we are separated, because we took different ways (different cities and universities). Another reason because I like this photo is, that we never  won this championship before, and in the last year we were the champions and since I was a kid, always has been very competitive.

Tennis

          Tennis was invented by the royalty of England, it consists basically in hitting a ball with the help of a racket trying to make that ball go over a net, falling into the other side of the court.
 I’ve chosen this sport because I’ve always been a fan of it, mainly because when I was seven years old I’ve started playing it back home in Punta Arenas, although the weather made it hard, I kept trying to become a better player. I played it for a long period of time, almost 6 years in a tennis club, unfortunately when I was nearly 14 I had to stop, mainly due to financial problems, because the equipment that I need to play it is very expensive.
          But that didn’t stopped my love for the sport, currently I like to watch all the main tournaments such as Wimbledon, The US Open, and the rest of the Grand Slams. My favorite player is Roger Federer because I think he’s the best tennis player in the history of this sport and also he’s a gentleman as much inside as outside the court.
