FREE POST

I think a free post seems easier, but is the most difficult. You have to think not only in how to write it, but also about what to write. But well, I think I will talk about something I really like and enjoy, music.

The first memories that I had about music, are when I was like four or five years old, I remember I used to love classical music. My parents always heard me hum along, so they put the songs and I enjoyed it.

A song that it really motivated me to play music was ''ride of the valkyries'' by Wagner, so when I was like six or seven years old, for a christmas my parents gave me a violin. I was so excited, I just wanted to learn how to play, but we never found a teacher in my town and then I never learnt.

When I was seven years old, I had to learn flute at my music class at school, and never thought I could do it, but then I noticed that it was easy for me, I always learnt faster than my classmates in the music area, and as my parents saw that I really liked it, at the age of nine, they took me to a music academy that is was new in the city, to learn electric guitar. I was so excited!

As I started learning theory and playing guitar, my teacher and my parents supported me saying always that I was very talented, and that by my age, I was learning very fast, and even faster than other people. That motivated me until today to learn many other instruments.

Nowadays I don't believe in talent, I see recordings of me playing and singing when I was about ten years old, and I was terrible at it, I sang horrible and my playing didn't even sound right jaja, but the support that I received made me practice and practice until I really improved my skills. Now I can say that is all about the effort.

NATIONAL HOLIDAYS

September 18th, that is the date of the first government meeting, and I actually never understood why we celebrate that, always thought we should conmemorate the independence day, but whatever.

It is nice to have a rest in the middle of the semester, and spend it in whathever you want, to recharge batteries.

By this week I will go to the beach with my family, we will spent the days resting, eating and going to the fondas.

I have never considered myself a nationalistic person, but it is true that when I hear cueca, when I see typical dancing or games and when I see people happy celebrating their common culture, it is a nice feeling, I cannot help but feeling identified.

But not everything is happiness and joy, sadly these holidays are the the days with the major quantity of traffic accidents in the year. People does not get use to be responsible when they drink alcohol, and unfortunately that takes away many lifes.

So to you all who are reading this, please take care of yourselves, if you are gonna drink, do not drive, and if you know about someone who is going to drive drunk, tell them to be responsible.

A Job You Would Like To Have

I have always loved art in all his forms, since literature to photography, since music to sculpture. That is what had brought me here, to study architecture at Universidad de Chile, a career that I think involve all of the arts in a certain way.

I think my dream would be living by arts, not only as an architect but a musician too, maybe a painter or even an actor. Just bring to life all of the crazy projects that are in my mind, as an artist.

It sounds a little ambitious I think, but I know that if I organize my time well I will be able to do it.

Many people underestimate the arts, they think that is not important or that anyone can do it, but art is important for mental health, for expressing yourself, even if you are the art creator or the one who is witnessing art. And the reality is that a lot of effort is required, I do not believe in talent, I think you get things by your practice and constancy, and of course, learning everyday to improve your skills.

To think in inspiring people, it inspires myself. That is something that gives me hope and makes me just wanna keep going.

I do not pretend to be known or famous, I just want to inspire the people who want to be inspired and make happier the people who need to be happier.
