Blog 3: My favorite piece of technology

Hi!

My favorite piece of technology is my camera. It was my gift for my birthday when I get the age of sixteen. It’s a pink semiprofessional camera, and at first I didn't like it because I was having trouble with the pink, but it takes very good pictures. Now that I'm older I'm not ashamed to say that I think it's cute.

Before joining the university, I had a little time free (but even in that moment I haven't had too much time with the school and the pre-university) and I spend it taking pictures of nature and my family. Sometimes I was going to protests and my favorite pictures are from those moments.

My life without it would be different, because it is my favorite way of taking moments and make it last, and it’s a way of artistic expression that I like so much, you can show to the world what are you watching.

Blog 2: Why did I choose this career?

My dream, when I was a child, was to be a painter. I wanted to become an artist, but then my view of the world changed, I wanted to not only see the people, I wanted to understand and sometimes, change that world. That's why I'm studying Social work now, to see from another point of view and do something about it.

Other careers that I have as an option were Law (now I know that I make a good choice for not be stubborn, I can say that I wouldn't be happy there) and Sociology, but I'm satisfied with what I choose. I didn't know what was exactly Social work, but I made a bet and win because is what I wanted to do.

The experience of being in the university is something great, is better than I was expected. The people are so nice and the lessons are so interesting.

The kind of work I would like to do is something where I can do the things that I feel are right, not to be someone at the order of the interests of someone else that doesn't care about the other people.

Blog 1: My autobiography: Who am I?

I was born in Santiago of Chile and lived in there my whole life. I have lived in four different districts of Santiago, but the first one was Conchalí. I lived there my childhood with my parents, then they broke up and I lived with my dad and grandmother for a couple of years, then lived with my mom. 

I don't complete my elementary in only one school, I go to five different schools: Language school San Vicente de Paul, Colegio Cristobal Colón, Liceo Manuel de Salas, and then go back to Cristobal Colón. I ended up the high school there the past year. 

I have three brothers, one is the son of my mom and two of them are of my dad. They are my little brothers, I'm the oldest and I take care of them every time I can. But with the university, I don't have the time that I have before so it's a little more difficult to be with them.

This year I  Social work because I always liked social science, the idea of helping to make the world a little better for the people who don't have anything. 

My hobbies are read books of politics, paint in different techniques, take photos in the street to people or in manifestations, eat but not cooking, because I don't know how (one day I will learn).
