My Hobbies

I think I’ve had many hobbies in my life, but I’ve always been to inconstant. When I was younger I liked to invent games and dances with my Little sisters, every time we had some free time, we would sit to think and créate new dances and games.

During my teenage years, my hobbies were to read, riding the bike and taking pictures. I dedicated to learn photography during several yerras, I remember I wanted to know a lot about it and an uncle gave me some theorical and practical clases. It was pretty fun, because we would gather on weekends and we would go to hills to find landscapes and nice colors to be captured on camera. Along the time, I got interested in the photo edition, I learned how to use Photoshop and I was able to put a Little more fantasy in the pictures.

I I’ve kept this hobbie and it has gotten stronger, although since I goy into college I have so much less free time to dedícate to it. Another hobbie, that lasted very short time, was to do handcraft, I remember I dedícated a whole summer to make bracelets, rings, earings and many different decoration objects made out of recycling material. It was actually really fun, I don’t remember why I stopped, maybe I shuld try to start again…

Victor Jara

It's really difficult to choose a great Chilean, I think I had never thought to mention an important Chilean person.

But I think a great character in the story is Victor Jara who has influenced different aspects of life, such as music, politics, poetry, and theater pedagogy.

The figure of Victor Jara is an international leader of the protest song and songwriter, and one of the most emblematic artists of the musical-social movement called ''New Chilean Song". The communist ideology is reflected in his art.

When Salvador Allende was president of Chile, Victor Jara was appointed cultural embassador, at the same time he released one of his greatest hits disc ‘’The right to live in peace’’ , which earned him the Golden Laurel Award for Best composition of the year.   

Victor Jara had a great social commitment, in the years that was president Allende, Jara was part of volunteer work to prevent the paralysis of the country caused by a truckers' strike.This commitment continued during the coup state led by Augusto Pinochet, a commitment that was until his death. On September 11, 1973 was arrested, along with other teachers and students, he was taken to the stadium, he was tortured for many hours and days, finally he was killed.

Victor Jara for me is a great example of someone with a lot of talent, commitment and idealism. I think his music transcended the times, the people and the presidents, it's really magnificent.-

Favorite food

          It is very difficult to choose a favorite food, it’s like when we try to choose our favorite song, it’s really difficult, because it depends on the context, the time of year, the time, situation, people, so many things. But I think in this last time, my favorite food has been the mix of different vegetables, chard, lettuce, asparagus, tomato, broccoli, chicory, cabbage, a lot of green stuffs jaja, with fresh cheese, olives and an egg, of course with some salt and lemon. I think that is perfect, the taste is delicious, and especially for this time of the year.

         I also believe that nutritionally is very good, green leaf vegetables provide few calories and have a great food value, cause they are rich in vitamins A and C, in addition contains calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and fiber. In the egg and cheese you will find the necessary proteins, and well carbohydrates can be left for another time of the day. Another plus for this meal, is when we take it from a good farm, ecological vegetables are more tasty, healthy and friendly with environment, every people should have agroecological productions for their own alimentation, and for learn other people, especially children, to have some respect for our mother earth.

I recommend eating well  and healthy
