Post 4: My eternal obsession

-

What most obsesses me is watching sports. I really like to watch the Olympic Games, the World Athletics Championships, gymnastics, football (especially when Chilean footballers play in the European leagues) and tennis, which is what I have been seen the most in this last weeks.

Every night I stay to watch the sports news on television. I also follow many athletes on Instagram and pages that report the latest news from Chilean athletes. I feel that this obsession is because I love to see the improvement, the effort and the passion that athletes have. I have always been captivated the speech of the Chilean athletes. They say that they are proud to represent Chile in any event even though the country doesn’t invest in sports. 

Today my big target is go to see the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago de Chile. I have never been in any event like that; in fact I have never gone to a stadium to watch a football game or to a court to watch a tennis game. However, what I most want to do is supporting all Chilean athletes and see my favourite stars like Shelly-Ann Fraser Price, Sandi Morris, Nia Ali, Simone Biles, Alexa Guarachi, among others.

What is your opinion about smart phones? In my opinion, Smart phones are equipment very used for people. Occupying them a lot can have consequences in sight. For this reason, people should stop depending on them. What is your opinion about women in the military? I honestly feel that it’s very well. Women can be in any job. Today, there isn’t gender discrimination; on the contrary, it's a pride to have a woman in that kind of job. What is your opinion about the Chilean politicians? I strongly believe that they are hypocrite. They talk about fighting for the people's needs, however they earn a lot of money being politician, money that no average person earns. Furthermore, they don’t want to lower their salary. That’s the reason why I don't believe in their words. What is your opinion about violence on television? I believe that there isn’t violence on television, but there is domestic violence. I think that this is a problem that must be solved, becau

Post 2: My best concert

-
A concert that I will never forget is Shakira in 2018. It was at the National Stadium on October 30 th . At that time I was living in Puerto Montt and had to travel to Santiago. I remember it was a Tuesday; I travelled the same day of the concert by plane. My mom had to take me out of school at noon while I was giving a test. To the concert I was accompanied by my cousin Natalia who was waiting for me in Santiago. The concert started at 8 p.m. and we arrived around 5.30 p.m., we were very anxious. It gave me time to study because the next day I had another test. When the concert started, I was very emotional to the point that tears fell from my eyes. I sang all your songs. There were people complained but I found out that it was due to audio problems. I really enjoyed it because was my first concert and my first time in a stadium. I also enjoyed it because she’s my favourite singer, I love her too much and I was looking forward to her arrival in Chile. Shakira had to undergo surg

Paulina Monckeberg Bruner is a Chilean graphic designer graduated from the Universidad de Chile, also studied Marketing and Advertising. She is the sister of the minister Cristian Monckeberg and niece of journalist María Olivia Monckeberg. She became known for the creation of the famous "Pascualina" notebook bought by thousands of teenagers. She created the character of Pascualina in 1989 and the first copy went on sale in 1990. According to her, the notebook "was born with the aim of training little girls. It proposes to improve their character day by day and helps them grow as people." Years later, the controversy arose that the notebook contained conservative and sexist messages about sexual freedom, femininity and obedience as fundamental values. This was because Paulina was a member of Opus Dei that is she has vows of chastity, poverty and obedience to the branch of the Catholic Church. Among the most controversial phrases are: - "Don’t access sex
