My dream job

When I was little around eight years old my dream was become a police woman, I think it’s because the school where I studied was close from a police station so the cops came in and out all day. Also they visited us and gave speeches about their work. I think it’s funny because today that’s one of the jobs that I hate the most.

Actually I would like to have a job that let me develop my mind and my intellectual skills, but also be related with people. I think study journalism can really help me to get a job with that characteristics that blend field job visiting and reporting in different places from the city and the data analysis.

Really my dream job it’s not as a journalist reporting at the streets all my life, I think that is a stage that I have to try but my real skills are closer to the reflections and analysis, that’s why I’m closer to an inside job. I think an ideal job would be writing opinion columns or subjecting to analysis relevant topics more than working with day-to-day news. This preference it’s not because of the salary, even when I want to get enough money to take care of myself, the money it’s not that important for me as being doing what I think I do good.

Anyway I have another interests related to the art and Latin-American culture, that could get together merging culture and journalism,  also make in me travel to know Latinoamérica.  That would be the job of my dreams, getting the art importance, analyzing it and communicating trough the journalism. For that I would like to take more courses related with image and culture industry to prepare myself in a better way in that topic.

CANTATA ROCK

Hi classmates and teacher.

In this opportunity I would like to talk about a music event that it's perfect to enjoy good music and also remember episodes of the national history.

Three years ago I went to the "cantata rock" in the SCD Vespucio room, in that concert two big Chilean band played: Quilapayún and Chancho en Piedra. Quilapayún it’s a characteristic band from the 60's and it's more related with the folklore, instead "Chancho en Piedra" that born in the 90's and represents the national rock.

Those bands are mixed to play a new version of the "La Cantata Santa Maria de Iquique", one piece of the Chilean folklore that remembers the murder of workers in the north of the country during 1907. The Cantata was intervened for "Chancho en Piedra" with typical rock instruments like electronic instruments and drums.

The room SCD have space for less than 100 people and this make possible a bigger proximity sensation with the show and solemnity with the historic moment that remember. For me was one of the best music experiences that I ever had, because wasn't only about listen nice music, it was also about receive a social message and remember a story that it's unknown for a lot of people.

My holidays

Hi classmates and teacher I didn't write in a long time, and this time I'm going to speak about my holidays.

My family and I always wait anxious the summer vacations, because we can have fun and free time to be together and travel. Since too many years every summer we go all together to the beach. When I was little we used to go camping to San Antonio and we stay in a cabin. 

In those years we had to rent two cabins to slept, because we are a big family, my mother, my two sisters, my brother and I. Also, we needed space to receive my father during the weekends, because he had to stay in Santiago for work from Monday to Friday.

I remember with love every year that I went to that camp center becuase there, we met with another relatives, like uncles, cousins, or my parents's friends. 

Sometimes I miss those years but even when it was a long time ago, the beach trips are still in my family as a tradition. Since two years ago we go to Isla Negra on vacations, because my sister have a summer house there.

Isla Negra it’s a really quiet beach and during the day we go to the Pablo Neruda's museum, we have lunch in some of the restaurants at the beach shore and we have some shopping in the crafts or just stay at the beach in the afternoon.

My sister's house it's so comfortable for everyone because it has five rooms and around ten beds. We can be all together in the same house and not in differents cabins like how it was before, even when we are a lot of people, I have three little nephews and now also my father pass all the season with us because he doesn't have his old job.

Regrettably this year I can't go with them on vacations, because I have to realize my professional practice in journalism for three month. This makes me really sad because I can't be with my nephews, my sisters and all of my cousins that one year ago also bought a house in Isla Negra so close to my sister's house and they used to go every day at night. Even if I can’t stay with them all the season like I want, I hope I can go and visit them for the weekends like my dad used to do it when we were children.

An unforgettable day

The day I think I’m going to remember my entire life it’s when  my nephew  Agustín was born. A Tuesday 5th of june in 2012, at 5 a.m. , we started to waking up to take my sister to her programmed childbirth. She was so nervious, I share room with her until that moment and I remember that was so dificult for her to get asleep the previous night.

Even all the fears that my sister, me and my mom has, I remember that we were so happy because that day we were going to see our baby that we were waiting for nine month.

The moment when my sister get in to surgery close to 6:30 in the morning the time was an eternity until the born of my nephew at 12 of that day. In that moment, when we were at the waiting room, a Little crib went out and gave me the most beautiful moment in my life.

 When I saw my nephew in the crib with the nurses, I start recording the momento but I did it horrible because I only can saw him and I forgot the camera.

While I saw him I start crying for the emotion of saw his eyes. That day I thought I saw the most beautiful human in the entire world, even when I see the pictures now and wasn’t really like that. After all of this, I discover that the objectivity doesn’t exists and the love make you see and feel things that go aways from the evident.

I’m still in love with this boy and definitely since that day my like change for ever. What I felt in that moment, make me more sensitive, because I knew that I’m capable of love like I never felt I can before.

MY FAVORITE SUBJECT

At the begining of this  university year one of the subjects that scares me was radio, because even when I study journalism, in the two first years of the career we didn't use the voice so much because we just write news.

At the beggining one of my biggest fears was my voice because is too deep and I speak fast so I think that on radio people isn't going to understand what I said on air.

However when classes start with teacher Elizabeth Bustos I calmed down becuase she said that we are going to work the voice and the speaking way with the entire class, and we did it.

On first semester we did recorded news in a studio and then we start going on air doing live programs on teams about different topics like culture, sport or economy. We end the semester doing live contact by phone with differents politic events or meetings to talk about what happen there.

The class continued on second semester and no doubt it was the subject that I like the most on the career

This time we continued doing programs but now with free topics and worried about of the music, technic work and selection of what are we going to talk about. We work on teams of 8 or 9 persons, dividing roles like conduction , reporters and production.

The results of this way of work left me conformable because we have very good qualifications and also because I feel that I learned how to work on radi, something that at the beggining makes me get so scare but now I hope I can realize in a profesional way on the future.

THE PERSON THAT I ADMIRE

One of the persons that I admire the most is Norka Cano a peruvian teacher that make spanish lessons in my school.

When I met her, she was an old woman and I only have two years of classes with her, because she retire after.

For those two years, were so important, because with her different ways to teach she makes me like writing.

She write poetry, have a full time job in a school and also used to do community work with peruvian people.

Also she makes me like to read and have a social conscience and for that reason I decided to study journalism after a long conversation when she wasn't my teacher anymore.

For that besides admire her, I love her and always say thank you for the after decisions that I take.

In some moment in her life she wanted to study journalism, but for stability and vocation she decided to be a teacher. Even of that she has the hability of motivate me of study journalism even when I used to be afraid of it.

MY FAVORITE BAND

Its too dificult for me to chose my favorite band, because I always pay atention in to the musical genres more than the singers.

Anyway, I always liked the funk and andean music, so I believe there are two bands that I could chose as favorites: 


Quilapayun and on the other side a very different one, Chancho en Piedra.

Even when those two bands are so differents, they were merged and created a new band named Colectivo cantata rock. That was based in "La cantata de santa maría de Iquique" a past work of quilapayún but with the colaboration of chancho en piedra's members that make a new and fresh sound with new instruments and that make the song alive again

The album that they release together named Cantata rock is my favorite.

First because mix rock and andean beats.

Then because deal with an important historic moment in a social way, like the killing in 1907 in the Santa María school in Iquique.


From this album, my favorite song is "vamos mujer" that show the hope of the families of the workers that were murdered in Iquique, only for demand their laboral rights.
