The greatest Chilean of all time


This post has been definitely the most difficult of all. I don't know about what to talk, because I think that each person can be considered a valuable person according to the area in which it is recognized, Violeta Parra and much of his family have dedicated their life to music  marking a milestone in our history. 

Gabriela Mistral, Pablo Neruda and Gonzalo Rojas among many others, wrote verses until the day of his death. Even athletes, presidents, television characters, writers, people linked to religion and even characters as "Condorito"set a precedent.

Choosing just one is difficult, but I think the biggest Chilean is Saint Alberto Hurtado, who dedicated his life to helping the needy.

He walked the streets of Santiago at night looking for everyone who did not have where to sleep, thus founded the "Hogar de Cristo", which until today perpetuates its mission.

His life was full of sacrifice and dedication, and in 1996, was beatified in Rome.

Personally I chose this person because of the sense that he gave to his life, I think that between all the gratest Chilean, he is the best.

First day at university



My first day in university was very exciting, I had come to live in Santiago only a few days before so I didn't know anyone.  

For me, everything was so new. I had come to university only once before.
The first day, I spoke with some classmates, which are still my friends here until now.
They were really nice with me. How I was living alone in Santiago, they are like my family here; they invited me to their homes and they accompany me to everywhere, we also do most of our homework’s together, so we spend a lot of time together. So I think that my first day brings me beautiful stuff like my friends.

That day I was very nervous, I didn't know what expect, how the people will treat me, if I was going to be or feel alone... Also was a little sad, because I didn't had my family closer enough to tell them all the details, so I feel kind of unaccompanied.
I don’t remember the most of the details about that day, because I have an awful memory, but the few memories I had are really nice.

That is everything I can tell you about my first day :)
