  I don't remember a stage of my life without drawing, drawing was my favorite hobby since I was a child, my family said I would be a great artist when I grew up, but I never thought about seriously studying graphic design or painting. I don't consider myself an amazing drawer, but I want to share with you this family portrait that I made two years ago:         I didn't know how to give it the value it deserved when I finished it, I kept the portrait in my drawing folder for a long time. Then I entered the University and finding time to draw was more difficult for me, have you ever felt that you want to do so many things, but finally you don't end up doing anything? This new stage made me reflect on many things, my way of studying, my bad habits, how far I was from becoming the person I wanted to be and my goals in the life. My grades were terrible during the first semester, my academic life had never been so bad, that's the reason why it affected me so much. ...

My first job was an experience so embarrassing because it was an informal job. One day, my dad asked me that I would help him at his job, he worked taking care cars in a supermarket parking and that month his workmate was not going to the parking. When we arrived at supermarket my dad teaches me how they worked there, he told me “Our salary is a people´s tip, some days will be better days than others”. During the first week I could not adapt that job because two reasons, first reason was I will think that we will giving alms and the second reason was the journal job that it will consist in start at 7:00 AM and finish it at 21:00 PM. But with time I adapted to that job, I even made some friends, I think it was a necessary experience because I understood that sometimes we do not see the value of the things we have, many people are condemned to live working in subhuman conditions, life is not fair to everyone because not everyone can choose their destiny. I study chemistry and pharm...

October 30, 2022.   Commonly, the most embarrassing moments we live occur in our childhood, but the anecdote I am going to tell now happened this year. I remember that I woke up that day without knowing that I would live one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, the day before    I was busy editing the PPT that my group and I would use to present a scientific paper on nanocapsules. Fortunately, that day 10 groups were going to present and we were the sixth group, the people who finished presenting could leave, even so, we had to present for almost 50 people that day. I remember that I managed to memorize my part of the exhibit before leaving my home, I met with my group for the first time that afternoon; 2 hours before it was our turn to exhibit, we didn't have time to meet before, I remember that when it was time to rehearse, I realized that I forgot the notebook where I had written my part of the exhibit, everything started to go wrong from that moment.  ...

  3 days at La Serena   October 09, 2022   My best vacations happened four years ago, destination? La Serena. I remember I was going to decide not to go with my brother because I had a debate next week and I needed to study, but I thought I could study during the trip (spoiler: There wasn´t time to study). It would be a short 3 days vacations, it was a long trip, I started to miss Santiago during the fourth hour of trip, the weather was mild when we arrived at La Serena, our first destination was the Japanese garden, the decorations and infrastructure of the place were impressive.    Then we went to tour the Third Millennium Cross in Coquimbo, it´s an amazing monument!!!! It was a unique experience because I had never been in such a high place, the cab looked like it was jumping trying to go down the hill, I thought I was on the roller coaster. We got a tour to go around the Elqui Valley the next day,        I don't remember more beautiful la...
