All my life it has been difficult for me to learn English. I have never liked listening to music in English, reading English or learning the language. Besides, my school taught me very badly. In the first part of the school I was regular, I did not learn much. But in high school I did very well, my average was 6.7 but I never learned well.

In the university, it has not been very different. I entered English 2 last year and it also made me very difficult. I went to English 3 and suffered very much to pass the course. And now in English 4 I will ask all the gods to help me to pass the course. English has always been difficult, I did not inherit the ability of my dad and my sister, they are good in English.

 The blogs have helped me a lot to improve my vocabulary a bit, it is also fun to write them. Writing about different topics that interest us is a good idea. So learning is combined with entertainment and is much better.

The aspects of English that I need to improve are all. Vocabulary, writing, reading, speaking and listening should be improved. I know that English is a very useful tool for my professional life, a journalist should know English. That will open many more options in the future. For that I want to do an English course, but to teach me from the most basic level. This is how I will learn English that I could never learn in my school.

But unfortunately I do not take English out of class, because I do not have anyone to practice it with, I do not like music in English and I do not see many movies or series. I know I'm stupid.

Personally I recognize that I am a lazy person. I like to sleep, rest and have fun, but in college I have done well, because I study something that I like and give me new energy.

Howeder, I believe that in the university there are many professors who do not demand much. Many of my classmates like to have classes with these teachers because it is easier.

But unfortunately when we enter to work at some dairio, radio, television or other the bosses will demand us constantly, every day and every week, because journalism does not sleep hahaha.

I know that there are many teachers who are very good, who demand and teach us very well. But there are many others, who do not really want to teach and demand. With this only generate bad professionals.

I understand that what I think is not very popular, but when I talk to my friends, many of us do not know current issues. I also know that many colleagues when they do reports, radio, etc. do not make much effort to get information. The vast majority do "desk journalism" this means that they do not deeply investigate the issues, as journalists should.

It is true that sometimes we have a lot of academic load, but I feel that it is normal if we compare it when we wiil work.

The facilities of the University of Chile are fine, but you can see that more technology and more spaces are needed to meet and study. The library is very small for so many students and there are no special study rooms to meet to study and thus work better.

The idea is to prepare us to be good journalists, I hope so

I have liked music since I was little, because my parents liked it a lot. They listened to different artists and songs.

When I was growing up, I found my own musical taste. The one that caught my attention was rap. I really liked the lyrics of the songs, I used to entertain myself when they used the words to rhyme and express what the rappers felt.

A rapper that I liked a lot was Canserbero. He is a rapper from Venezuela, who dedicated himself to music from a very young age. It has songs on various topics. His songs are very deep, he can talk about social crises, personal crises, fantastic stories, God, hell, love and many other topics. He is one of the most respected rappers in the world.

What I like most about him is that he does a rap to think, not just to sing, dance and rhyme. No, Canserbero with his general songs of reflection in his listeners.

Unfortunately he died in 2015 in a very strange death, they say that he committed suicide or that they killed he. I do not know, but his music will last forever, because as he says "no one dies, only the one they forget".

Study five years of my life to then graduate and continue studying. Well, that's life. We must strive hard to achieve the things we want, maybe too much, but this is the way it is.

If I had to choose a postgraduate course now, without thinking much, I would choose a study in investigative journalism, because I feel that in that area of ​​journalism I can make important changes in society.

In my journalism school, Universidad de Chile, I have met great investigative journalists. Some have given me classes and I admire them a lot for their work. It is a very difficult job, we have to dedicate a lot of time to our lives, but as I said before, we must strive to achieve what we want.

I would like to do my study at the University of Chile or at the Catholic University, because both are from the best schools of journalism in Chile.

I would like to make courses in contact with the teachers, because I can learn from their experiences. This has been the best way I have learned in my two years of study. Talking with the teachers, they told us their experiences and taught us to investigate.

Well, I hope to achieve it and do something important in Chilean journalism.

River Plate vs. Boca Juniors was the "end" of the century. The dream of the millions of fans was spoiled by a group of people who only thought of themselves. This was because River Plate fans attacked the Boca Juniors bus when it went to the stadium.

The entire world waited for the final of the Copa Libertadores between the two most popular teams in South America. It was the most anticipated final of all time. The world spoke about the tactics and expectations generated by this party.

The Conmebol is the organism that directs the South American soccer. They are the top managers and those who make the most important decisions. The "geniuses" of the Conmebol were absolutely very confused by all that they were living. Many Boca Juniors players were seriously injured by the bus attack. According to them, the game could not be played.

There was a very big confusion between the teams, the Conmebol and the fans. Nobody knew what was happening.

More than 60,000 people were inside the "Monumental" stadium without knowing what was going to happen.

Finally the Conmebol decided to suspend the game on Saturday and when we all thought that Sunday would be played, again the leaders decided to suspend it until a new notice.

Terrible organization, bad decisions and no empathy for the fans. South American football again causing shame.

I have never stopped to think exactly what job I would like be. But I know that locket in an office I would drive a crazy. I need to be moving to be happy. My mind and my body needs to be thinking and be doing.

In the journalism I can and should I be working at all times, whether on radio, television or newspapers the journalist must to do a job impeccable, because the information is an important but very delicate.

Besides, journalism gives the opportunity to work inside an office and outside of it. In fact, you must work on both sides to do a good job. Because one thing is to investigate, but the other is to publish good news so that the correct information reaches people.

I like travel but It doesn´t keep awake at night, because since I was a little boy I have traveling. But I recognize that it would be a good experience to work and get to know other places thanks to my work.

I would like to specialize in investigative journalism, because I believe that the information is a very powerful tool that can change lives. That is the reason why I chose journalism and wherever I am, I will look to do what´s right.

The injustice

If there is something that bothers me a lot, it is injustice. In all its areas, but social injustice is something I can not understand. I know that there is no perfect society, but I feel that in Chile individualism and little empathy are leading society.

It is true that we have advanced and improved on issues such as education, respect for minorities, etc. But there is still much to go and repair. For example, health is a very important issue that has not been resolved. Imagine that people do not want to go to the doctor because they have to make huge lines or if they want quality health they have to pay huge amounts of money.

These are just some examples of how injustice in Chile is observed daily, in every moment and everywhere. We as young and future professionals must always bear this in mind, because I think it is the most important fight we have to face.

We must make Chile a better country, not only in economic numbers, but socially, in the everyday, in life.
