"Corporación Monteverde S.A." a good company

This company has 250 direct employees and buys the milk of 300 little dairy farms, most of that milk (about 40000 kg per day) is procesed into cheese and sold in a very selected market here in Costa Rica.
The concept of good or bad is relative, but I consider that a good company should care about:
1-The wellfare of it´s employees.
2-The emviroment.
3-The social wellness of the comunity where the company is located.
4-The economic retribution to the company.
Based in the previous description of what a good company means for me, I will give an example for each of the four points mencioned.
1-"Corporación Monteverde S.A." taught about psycological an physical topics in order to motivate the employees and to prevent any accident related to the everyday work.
2-This company also has very strict quality norms related to the whey degradation in order to prevent pollution.
3-As a way to reward the farmers work, this company gives scholarships to the farmers son´s and daughter´s that otherwise couldn´t be able to study.
4-"Corporación Monteverde" makes sure to make enough money (near to one millon dollars per year) to keep in business.
I think that this company is a good company.

Dream Job

My dream job would be a job that allowed me to travel arround the world, knowing new countrys an places with diferent cultures, and traditions,  like a traveling TV show. But it should be a family travel show because I wouldn´t like to be far away from my son and my girlfriend.
I think that the reason to choose this kind of job as the "dream job" is because my perception of vacations is to travel with my family, so if I could earn money to support all the needs of them by doing this it would be perfect. I supposed that as every job after a few years I maybe feel tired of taking trips,but I would like to give it a try.
I don´t think that it´s a prestigeus job nor in Costa Rica or any other countries but, I strongly believe that you have to make your decisions based in your future happiness, and most of the times it´s not important what people think about it, also I think that prestige is a subjective word that depends on the context.

AP-4 First Blog

I am in this class because to me, it`s absolutly necessary  to improve my lenguage skills by practicing every week and because I like it.
I hope to keep learning until I can comunicate myself with fluency and confidence.
I like that its the most common lenguage on earth and there are a lot of people spread over the world that comunicate in this lenguage, I dislike that I didn`t born in an English spoken country, I am not complaining of my country but probably I would prefer to speak this lenguage earlier in my life.

Confirming my Blog

I think that my blog is still the same, so I hope we dont have any troubles whit the blog,
