I study journalism, so my major can contribute in many ways to society, depending on the area in which I develop. Journalism has the particularity that it can affect thousands of people because of the influence that the media has on society, which is why one must be rigorous with the information that the media publishes. In this process I see myself well, always trying to go with the truth, being ethical, trying that what I must do is a help to the population and not something that confuses them or makes them believe things that are not. One of the reasons why I decided to study journalism was because I want to dedicate myself in some way to soccer, whether as a commentator, analyst, working in radio, etc. With this I could inform people, entertain them, teach them things they did not know.

In this photo I appear with my brother Alvaro and two friends, Felipe, and Diego. Felipe was the one who took this photo after climbing a hill near his house. It was a great day, and we had a great time, for me it represents our friendship since it was an adventure that the four of us made. What I like most about it is that even though the road was hard to walk, when we got to the top it was satisfying to be able to see the whole landscape from the top, as you can see it was very beautiful.  We spent about 30 minutes at the top resting and recharging our energy before returning home. On the way down we went to Felipe's house and had a nice plate of noodles for lunch, then we had a swim in his pool since it was very hot that day and finally, we spent the afternoon playing PlayStation.

  The food I like the most is pizza. It consists of a mass made of flour that a series of ingredients are made to suit the consumer. The way I prepare it is by buying the pizza mass in the supermarket, and I usually add cheese to it obviously, ham, tomato, olives, pepperoni, etc. It is my favorite food because its flavor is very good, it is crunchy, easy to make, it does not require a lot of time, I like the fact that eating pizza is associated with sharing with friends. I do not think it affects my health in a positive way because its junk food, but it is still not bad to eat it sometimes. I believe that if you exercise and have a healthy life, you can allow yourself to eat these types of foods, although you should never abuse it because it can negatively affect the body and health.

  My favorite piece of technology is the laptop. It is my favorite because it allows me to do many things, such as playing video games, talking on WhatsApp, watching videos on YouTube, watching series on Netflix, Amazon, Disney +, connecting to online classes by zoom, being able to study with books in pdf, browsing online, buy clothes, books, food, etc. It affects my life in every way, since I use it almost all day, mainly for classes, it keeps me connected with the world through newspapers and twitter. I would 100% recommend using it since it can fulfill the same functions as a telephone, a television, a radio, video games consoles, it is like having all the technological devices in one. What I love the most about the computer compared to the others is its versatility, and that it is easy to transport. 

I   am studying Journalism at the University of Chile because I like to communicate and I believe that studying this career will give me the tools to be able to do it in a great way. When I was little I wanted to work as a surgeon, but over the years I realized that I did not like biology very much. I had no other options to study, journalism was the only one that interested me.  What made me decide for this major was that I liked the idea of ​​the race I had before entering and because I have friends who were already studying and they told me about their experience. For now I have liked the university but I would love to be able to go in person to meet my classmates and learn in a better way
