My Work in Venezuela..!! Teacher Assistant!!

I am a teacher assistant in the subject Field Geology & Geophysics. In that subject we have a field trip for a month. All the students are hosted in a small town and in a very ugly house. The house does not have electricity, water or beds and the students always sleep on the floor. They can’t eat a lot, only one time per day ( breakfast) because they have to work a lot, from 5am to 12pm and they do not have enough time to do anything other than learn or study.

As an advanced student of geophysical engineering, my job is to teach how to use the basic geological tools (compass, rock color chart, Comparator grain size, and maps) necessary to carry out geological reconnaissance and mapping). I also teach the use of the principal geophysical methods (refraction seismic, electrical surveys, electrical tomography, and GPS) in some areas of geological interest. As an assistant I am responsible for the logistics of the field training, I have to plan the field visits for 25 students over 22 days including all necessary arrangements for the proper functioning of a site-training course.

The city where I was born !!

I was born in Punto Fijo, a very warn and windy city situated in the state of state of Falcón, at the Paraguaná Peninsula. I live there for more than 16 years, then a move to another state, to study at the University.

Punto fijo, is a small city but you can find a lot of interesting stuff, like:

• Many beautiful beaches were you can practice windsurf or sky surf.

• The Gustavo Rivera Zoo, were you can see all the typical animals of the region.
• One of the biggest oil complex refiners of the world.
• Amazing desert with many mountains of sand, similar to the Sahara desert.
• A wonderful mountain called Santa Ana. We only have this mountain throughout the state.
• Near to the island of Aruba, you just need to take a plane for 15 minutes to be there.

Another interesting thing is that Punto Fijo is a city quite cheap. FREE tax, You do not have to pay tax if you buy anything here. For this reason Falcón is the most famous state in Venezuela, everybody came to buy clothes, shoes, all kinds of liquor and so much more.

Were does she come from? What does she do? Why does she have that nick name?

Hey my name is Sary, I come from Venezuela, Caracas. I have three brothers. They live in Falcon another state of Venezuela with my mother. The oldest Luis study at the University, and he wants to be a Mechanical Engineer. The other two Jesus and Isable are in the elementary school. My parents are Chemical Engineers but only my father work as it, at the Meddle East.

I studied in one of the best public university of my country, at the Simón Bolívar Univertiy (USB). In November I got my title of Geophysical Engineer. When I was studying every weekend I went to the bars with my friends ( Angie, Wanda & Astrid) to meet men. We always had luck with them, but I need to be honest with you, we only used them. For us was just a joke or a bet. I often won the bet, and that’s the reason why I have that nick name, China Pelvelsa in English is bad or dirty girl.

Right now I am looking for a job in Canada. I wouldn’t like to return to my country because we have a lot of problems with the government. It is very difficult to find a job due to you have to agree with Chavez. That is why I am here, to improve my English and find to find a job.
