“Soy Boricua de pura cepa”


I was born in the smallest and most beautiful island, Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico, also known as "Boriquén" is a unique and special island, which distinguishes us from the rest of the world. Our most famous representative is the "coquí" animal icon of our country. There is no other country like this, there is not. Puerto Rico is a country famous for its beaches, its food, festivals, and more. Where the holidays become longer and where there are more holidays than regular days. Christmas is here until "octavitas" no more, no less; What about the holidays? As I say, "aquí celebramos lo nuestro y lo de to´ el mundo". Puerto Rico is the country where the word diet is difficult to pronounce, as the food of our country is unique and spectacular. Not to mention the "lechón, alcapurrias, bacalaitos, pasteles." The tourist who comes here, stays here. Currently, Puerto Rico is a country with great tourism, and has many beautiful places to visit around the island. 

One of the places you should visit is primarily the Morro in Old San Juan, there are also beautiful places in different towns like Aguadilla, Quebradillas, Ponce, among others. One of the things that distinguishes us as Puerto Ricans are the festivals that take place every year, the most famous being "las fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián". This is a festival held each year in honor of San Sebastián Street in Old San Juan. Here are held dances, parades vejigantes, heads, batucadas, typical things of our country. For the holidays many people visit us from around the world. I am proud to be here, to be Puerto Rican. "Soy Boricua de pura cepa".

Carl Jung Memories, Dreams and Reflections

Carl Gustav Jung was born on July 26, 1875, in Kesswil, Switzerland, the son of a Protestant minister. At the age of four, the family moved to Basel. When he was six years old, Carl went to the village school in Klein-Huningen. His father also started teaching him Latin at this time. During his childhood, Jung preferred to be left alone to play by himself. He was happiest when he was in isolation with his thoughts.
As Jung grew older, his keen interest in a large variety of sciences, and the history of religion made the choice of a career quite difficult. However, he finally decided on medicine, which he studied at the University of Basel (1895–1900). He received his medical degree from the University of Zurich in 1902. Later he studied psychology (the scientific study of the mind and its processes) in Paris, France. Carl Jung was best know for studies of the human psyche, dream analysis, the collective unconscious and archetypes.
Carl Jung in the book "Memories, Dream and Reflections" talk about cultures of many centuries, your point of view of the centuries, comportment of people. In the first part of Chapter 9 of Memories, Dreams and Reflections, Jung calls his part travels and there relations to dream and understanding. In a part of this Chapter, in "Pueblo Indians", Carl Jung studied your Journey, him observed the city and identified cultures, bielefs, of the peoples of the Pueblo Indians. Also, Jung studied the psychological behavior of the people in this city.


"Who looks outside, dreams; 
who looks inside, awakes."
-Carl Jung
