Blog Post 6: How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place

Imagen
S ince I was little, from what I remember, I always liked knowing things, staying informed and being able to share that information. So over the years, and as I grew up, I began to notice that I really liked that. In my family, at least in the closest circle, it was always the one who was asked about news or events that happened in Chile. Mainly because they knew that I always liked politics and information. That was one of the reasons why I decided to study journalism. I believe that journalism is important, as well as all disciplines, but this race must exist between those who maintain our democracy and well-informed people in order to build that same healthy democracy. For this reason, I always hope to be apart with my work, in any of the disciplines of journalism, to keep people informed because I believe that when this happens we build healthier societies. In simple terms, with my profession I want to fulfill my dream as a child: to inform others.

Post 5: The Story of a Picture

Imagen
I n 2002 I had my first day of classes at school, I don't remember much of it, but I do have this photo that brings back certain memories of that time. I was studying at a school near my grandmother's house, the one who often came to look for me. This was in the Panquehue commune, in the Region de Valparaíso, my commune. In the photo, to my left side , is my brother, probably one of the most important people in my life. He has always been a great life partner and friend. We were always together in the same schools, although during the day we saw each other with the own distance of the shame of children, I always knew that he was there. That photograph was taken by the school photographer, the same one we saw for years at all events. It was a long time ago, but I have great memories. We were children and there was never a lack of laughter. (Although the photo does not show it)

Salads and something else

Imagen
I n 2015 I came to live in Santiago, which meant a change in my habits, including eating, since I began to live alone and therefore only depended on me if I ate. Everything changed much more in 2018, when I was diagnosed and informed that I was celiac, therefore I could not consume products with gluten. That diagnosis meant that he stopped eating in other places or ordering any type of food as he had done until then. From there I started to cook much more and my favorite food is salads accompanied by cuscús. I don't know if it has a specific name but at least I prepare lettuce, paprika, tomato, onion, I add chicken and finally the cuscús. The chicken can also be replaced by the tuna, both options are very tasty and the best thing is that they are gluten free.

The synchronicity of work

Imagen
Y ears ago, while I was in school, we developed the group assignments in Word, each one on his computer and then we met to be able to gather all our work and finally deliver it. Some time ago that changed, now with my university colleagues everything is simpler thanks to the simultaneity and synchronization of work that many applications offer. One of these is Google Docs, which allows us to work together and remotely while we see the changes made by others. The same allows to do Word and many other platforms. I fully recommend applications with work synchronization is one of the best tools, whether it is for students or workers. At least they changed my life by having all my information and work synchronized and stored in the cloud, I think we should all turn to them.

Blog Post 2: Why did I choose my major?

Imagen
I n 2015, after graduating from college, I decided to study civil engineering in computer science and telecommunications. Two years later I decided to leave it, without a doubt it was not the career I wanted to study and I did not project myself working in that area. Throughout my childhood I wanted to study journalism, however when I was a teenager my tastes changed. Some time later I finally entered to study the career of my dreams: Journalism. In 2018 I began to study this career at the University of Chile where I have had a very good experience. My desire to communicate was what led me to choose this career, being able to investigate and inform people of everything they need to know. I think it is essential for a democracy. I am in my fourth year, and next year I already hope to graduate.

Blog Post 1: Who Am I?

Imagen
H ello my name is José. I am 24 years old and I am currently in Santiago de Chile. Although I now live in this city, my place of origin is Panquehue in the Valparaíso Region. Panquehue is a small city in the interior of this region, a rural place where it is wonderful to live, ideally if you want to disconnect from the chaos of the cities. I arrived in Santiago six years ago, when I started studying engineering at the Diego Portales University. After a stint in that career, I switched to Journalism. Another day we will talk about it. My family is made up of my mother, my father and my brother, I am the youngest. My brother also lives in Santiago with his family.
