New career and new hobbie




When i left school, i didn't  know what to do with my life, so by discard i decided to study commercial engineering. I was there for three years and then i realized that i really didn't like it. In 2015 i decided to study journalism so i get here.


I think in this career i can combine things that i like a lot: other people's stories, music and writing. In this year and a half i have fulfilled two of the three things i mentioned before, but i had left the music away. That's why i decided to reintegrate music into my life.

I like music a lot and listen to it in every activity i do, so i have decided to create music by myself. Few months ago i decide to play a new musical instrument: the ukulele.

I used to play guitar in school but I left behind four years ago. This is my ukelele and I have it more than a month ago. I think it's easier to play than the guitar but the difficulty is that you don't have so many space for fingers or my fingers are a little big.

In this first time i have learned about seven songs well enough. I learned songs from Oasis, Camila Moreno, Mon Laferte and others musicians i like so much. I still can't play and sing at the same time, but I hope to achieve it with many practice and perseverance.

To play an instrument is a good therapy and distraction for routine. For me is the best part of the day and can spend hours but for me it will never be enough, because music always gives a touch of happiness to my days.

I recommend you to play an instrument or do something that you really like to learn and practice.

Today i'm doing what i like, and i'm enjoying it. In the future i will be grateful for the decisions i have made in recent years, especially to find something that combines what i most like.

The radio: my dream job

Imagen
I am studing Journalism in the Universidad de Chile, in Santiago. When i think about the future i t’s difficult to think about what job i would like to do, because there are so many options and i really like most of them!  I think work in the radio it’s my dream. When i was little, i always play with my cousin and we thought we had a radial program. I expect that the job requires me to do outdoor  reports. I would like to do this job because i think the radio is the most massive media and it’s everywhere. You can go anywhere listening to the radio. I would like travel a lot doing this job, especially for music. I would love to be able to travel to different concerts around the world and to be able to do live programs from different places. I would need a lot of skills to do this job. First of all, I need a good and loud voice. I will have to be aware of what happens in Chile and abroad, and study different types of musicians and his story. That will be great! I thi

Free topic: the use of the camera

I have always liked photography. My father is an amateur of analog photography and since I was little he kept me close to the world of cameras. When i joined journalism I never thought I would learn to use a camera well, much less manage to get good pictures.  Last semester i took the course "photojournalism" and it was a very good experience. I learned how to handle the camera settings and functions. I learned how important is the light level to get good photos. I also knew the camera accessories and what they are used for. The work i liked the most was one in wich we had to photograph portraits of people. It was very interesting, and difficult, look for people who agree to be photographed, but my friend helped me and posed for me. Here is a good friend called José Tomás. He is studying music and he had a band called Choclo. Another interesting job was to interview a journalist and photograph her. A fter much insistence,  i managed to contact Mónica Rincón a
