My favourite song

Hi!! It's been almost a week (two weeks) since the last note. In this opportunity I'm going to talk about music, specially of my favourite song.

I don't have designed a song as a favourite because we have a favourite song for a certain period of time, but after that time we get bored of that song. Now I can say that one of my favourites songs is "Punto Final" by Moral Distraida (I really love it) but my favourite song of all times (until now haha) it is Skyscraper <3

The song was written by Toby Gad, Lindy Robbins and Kerli Koiv and it's performed by the singer Demi Lovato. It is a 2011 song, from the third album of Demi; Unbroken (the name of the album is meaningful to me too).

It's seems weird that the song was realized in 2011, because I thought that first time I've listened it was at the final years of my primary school (2009-2010) hahaha so I don't remember the first time I had listen this song.

But this song means a lot to me because it is related to my history as Maria Belen, to certains moments of my life. Life has been rough to me (in many ways) and this songs is a kind of emotional relief to me. In addition to that "relief", this song give me strengths, makes me feel strong, makes me realize that I'm like a skycraper.

I can't never forget this song, even if I don't listened continously, I always remembered it because it's means a lot to me in one of my most difficults times.

Also, Skyscraper reminds me the only tattoo that I could do to myself;

"Be strong" or "Love is stronger than the pressure to be perfect".

Ones of my favourite parts of the song or the parts that moves me most are;

"You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
...
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
...
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet"

SKYSCRAPER <3

Postgraduate studies

Hi everyone! I'm writing today (it is Saturday) because, as I said in the last post, I'm late with the post's schedule, but with this note I'm in time again.

Well, the topic this time it's Postgraduate studies (I think it's very similar to the post below); So I'm gonna start saying that I would really like to do a postgraduate course, this is because I think that the university now (pregrade) it's not enough for me, I know that I can do much more.

First I would like to continue study the public gestion in general and then make a postgraduate course in Public Health (as I said in the last post) or in cityzenship themes. And of course, if the opportunity show up, I would like to do many little courses or things like that- like this year I went to the CLAD's International Congress.

I would like to do this postgraduate courses here in Chile, because I love my country and because I think that every country have their particular situation and only in the same country I could find the right way to do the things. But, I really like the idea of study outside too, so I would like to make this courses here in Chile and in other countries too.

I'm not very sure of the way that I would like to study this courses. I think I gonna think about it at that time, but I like the little courses and intensives and the part time courses (specially in the evenings) if this courses takes time.

Well guys that's all, see you next Friday (finally!) <3

My future job

Hi my friends! Last week I can't write because I was in the "XXI CLAD's International Congress" (very good experience) and so now, I will write around last week's topic; My future job. Actually it's funny because today (also) I have to present a video of my future job too!! 

Well, I'm gonna start saying (as same as the video) that I've never been clearly of this. But, this year there's an specific job that have been on my mind; to be Health's secretary.

I imagine myself being a great secretary; designing good and efficient public policies, specially changing the transplant system for one better.  

The job of Health's secretary is a indoor one and that complicates me a little. I'm a very active person and I love to work "with" the people, so an outdoor job is the kind of labor that moves my heart, but also I'm a person who likes to design and manage things (I can't with the idea of being not-boss) so it is complicated to me to decide if my future perfect job it is outdoors or indoors, but Health's secretary (as I say before) is a indoor one.

Another complicated decision is if I want to travel in my work. I love to travel but I hate the idea of being apart of the people I love (friends and family). If I want to be Health's secretary I have to work here in Santiago, and that makes me sad (of being apart of my hometown) but at the same time makes me happy (the capital is great). So it is the same for travels, I would be happy and sad at the same time.

I'm not really worry about the salary, I don't mind if I earn a base salary, a average salary or a huge one, I would do that job because I like it and for the vocation. But according to internet, the average salary of a secretary is about eight chilean millions.

Right now I'm studying Public Administration, and according to this job I would like to make a major in Health's public management.

Finally I want to say I would like to have this job in honor to my mom (who is on heaven) <3 

My favourite animal

Hi everyone! Today I have to write about my favourite animal. I must confess that this topic is not easy for me :( I like animals but I don't love them. I had only one pet in my life, a dog called Beckham. I think that it's why I don't feel really close to them, but I have to say that every time I see a dog I greet it, so I think they are my favourite animal.

Well talking about dog's general information;

They are pets by excellence. There is a lot of different types, and according to each type, they have particular characteristics and habits. For example; Bulldogs, Beagles, Yorkshires, etc.
A phrase I really adored, is that they are called "man's best friend" <3

Like they are pets, the dogs live usually in the houses of their owners, this can be in the city or in the countryside. However we can find without a owner so we can find them lonesomely in the street, or in the middle of the country.

They are carnivorous, but they eat almost everything hahaha, it's very common that their owners let them eat the leftovers of each meal. However they are special food for dogs like (I don`t know) Masterdog, Pedigree, etc.

I can't tell their exactly weight and lengh, because it depends of each type of dog, but to making an example, we have that the St Bernards, have their ideal weight between 55-90 kg and their ideal lengh between 73-80 cm. (TodoPerro)

The dogs are a really famous kind of animal because we can found them eassily, because they are almost all over the world.

Well, here's my dog Beckam, the reason why I love dogs <3 <3

My favourite movie & book

Hi friends!

Today is Friday again so I have to write another note, and with that, tell you a new thing of my life. 

The theme now will be My favourite movie or book. In this opportunity, my favourite movie and my favourite book is the same one, Harry Potter <3 

The stories of Harry Potter are a series of books and movies; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Globet of Fire (2005), and the order of the Phoenix (2007), and the mystery of the prince-and the half blood prince (2009), and the last one, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2011). 
*The Mystery of the Prince was a book included in the movie of the Half blood Prince, so the year I put was the year of the movie. And the Deahtly Hallows as a book, was divided in two movies.

The story is about a younger wizard, Harry Potter, that has to fight up with the bad guy of the movie, Lord Voldemort. The story begins with the first years of life of Harry Potter when he lived with his horrible mother's family (his parents died by the hand of Voldemort when he was a baby) and with the moment he realized is a wizard, because with that the plot is triggered. Then he entered to Hogwarts and met his best friends, Ron and Hermione, who help him to battle with Voldemort for the next years.

It's a science fiction history. The principal actors are; Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort).

I watched the first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone, when I was a child (I have like 5 years old) and I didn't know to read, so I watched the movie with my aunt, and it was subtitle, so she read it to me hahaha. Then I get older and I can watch the movies for myself and read the books (because I became a really big fan). 

It is my favourite movie, because I don't know, I just love it. Maybe it was the feeling of growing up with the characters or because it was a family activity (I really missed that)

Well that's all. See you next week! 

PS: I love Harry Potter!! <3

HARRY POTTER WORLD <3

The best holidays I've had

Hi lovely people!!
This week I'm going to talk about my best holidays

In 2013, I was in my third year of high school, and it's a tradition in my school that at the end of the year, all the courses go to school holiday. So at the end of the year I went to Bariloche-Argentina and Chiloe (and some parts of the south of Chile)

We went exactly for one week. (Sunday to Sunday). The first three days we went and stayed in "Barilo" and the others days between Chiloe and some parts of the south of Chile.

I have to say that i did not went with my real classmates (in spite of what I said before). My class, the Third Lancaster, decided not to make a school holiday so one of the others class, Third Bristol, invited me to his trip. 


We did a lot of things (really)
In Bariloche we travel around the center, we visited a chocolate factory, we went to beautiful places (I don't remember the names haha)
In Chiloe, we met the "Palafitos", got to know famous chruchs, and took a motorboat through the sea. 
And in the other parts of the south of Chile we went to the "Lago de todos los Santos" and to the "Saltos del Petrohue".
In addition to this, we went to discotecas, eat very well, sleep well so it's was an amazing holiday.


It were the best holidays because of the things I said before, but too because it were my first holidays. (I did never go to holidays with my family). Also (I have to say) because I met my best (boy)-friend, Nicolás Casanova.

I had to say that those days, were one of the best days of my life, it were really amazing. After that (my first trip) I want to travel more and get to know other cities-places, etc.

And (a secret) in the next days I will go to holidays with my dad and my brother to the North of Chile so I'm really excited!!! <3

Coming back: A country I'd like to visit

Well, it's been a long time, right? Now I'm in English four and I have to use this blog again. I hope the experience continue be a good one.

The theme in this occasion would be "A country I'd like to visit". First I want to clear up that I want to go all over my country before visit other countries. But according of what they're asking to me, I'm gonna say that I want to visit ITALY <3

In a general way, I know that Italy is in Europe, that is next to France, for example, that has a boot form hahaha, that has inside another state (Vatican), that is a historical place, and in "The Da Vinci Code" I saw that has a lot of museums with a lot of famous paintings.


In Italy I would like to:

First visit Rome. I have always wanted to visit that city. I want to know all the famous squares, to know the Vaticano, the famous churchs, the Coliseum etc. 

I want to take advantage of the trip, and get to visit other countries of Europe

And of course, eat a lot of pizza.

I don't know if I would like to visit or study in Italy. I have the dream of make a postgraduate outside Chile and Italy would be a good place to study or that's what I think hahaha. But clearly I want to travel there, it's big and real dream.

I haven't said why I want to visit Italy, however some reasons I had said before. Pizza, Rome, Vatican, Roman Coliseum, historical city, museums, paintings, squares, fountains and a personal reason, I have Italian bloodline, I'm the last generation with Italian benefits. (for my father)

Well guys, it's all for today. I'm happy of coming back and write of something new and that I like. See you next week <3

Evaluation of the blog experience

Hi my friends!! Today is Sunday, last day of the weekend and last evaluated post :( In this last note, I'm going to write my evaluation of this blog experience.

I never had a blog before. I remember watched "Awkard" on MTV, and the main character had a blog and I thought it was a US thing, but when I had to create this blog for the English class, I started to get used to it and to feel affection to my own blog.

First, it's a really good way to practice and learn English grammar. As a lot of people say, the only way to learn things is to do things (and it's true). Maybe my English grammar is not perfect but I "solte la mano" in a Chilean way and that makes me feel very good so I really appreciate this experience.

Secondly, it's a method I never did before in any class ,and I have to say it's was very funny and dinamic. I would really like that this method would be used in the next semester or in other class, because I really enjoy this no-typical way of learn.

And I think the main reason why I like this experience, it's because... wrote about things you like, things you care, things that would be useful to your career, things that are useful to improve your knowledge of English, and things that maybe you never had the opportunity to  think or write about... was really pleasant, was amazing. So I really have affection for my blog, because it's was, at least for a time, a little part of me.

I feel badly putting an end to this, but who knows, this is my blog, and even if it's not evaluated, I can write whenever I want of whatever I want. So maybe this isn't my last post hahaha.

So if you haven't noticed my evaluation of this blog experience is completely positive. So thank you Miss and English 3 for this awesome evaluation hahaha and goodbye to all of you <3

Themed/free post: My life in Santiago city

Well this is the last post of the day and the last free post :( As I said in another posts (but it is always true) it was difficult to me to decide what to write. So I thought that I had talk about me, my family, my friends, the dance and academical things, but I don't had talk about one important thing to me; My life in Santiago city.

Why is important to me this? Because living all my life in one place (Viña del Mar and their surroundings) means live a typical and comun life, and then from one year to another, moving to another city brings a lot of changes in your life.

The fact of come to live to Santiago for academical purposes scared me a lot. I remember the time of the university's postulations and I was very afraid of putting "Universidad de Chile" in first place, even more if I have Public Administration in Valparaiso, but my dad gave me all the strengths to be brave and put my future and what I want to be before the fear.

So I enjoy all the summer with my friends and my family and when the time had come, I had a lot of goodbye parties, and in March of 2015 I arrived to Santiago city.

The first months were awful :( I stayed in a horrible pension, I had lost a lot of weight, I was in strike already, I had no friends and I missed a lot my family and my friends of Viña. Yes, I can travel to Viña del Mar and actually I did it in the time of the strike, but knowing that it wasn't one hundred percent real (that with the return to class I have to return to Santiago) makes me wonder if I was prepared to live in that place or if I could.

With the return to classes and with a little help of time, things started to got better; I moved to live with my aunt so I started to feel less lonely, I started to eat again and with that to win weight, I made friends, and my grades were amazing so my life was again a happy one until today (of course there are bad days but come on is part of life isn't it?)

Well that's the history but in general moving to Santiago means a lot of things;

First come on, have the possibility to study in the best university of the country and a career that I really like it's amazing, it's makes me feel great.

Secondly, stay in the capital it's a dream thing. Here's happen everything. (there's a lot of thing to do, concerts specially--> i love them haha <3)

For third, you feel like an adult. I mean you're alone and you are following your dream and that means deal with all the good and bad things that comes with it.

And this experience makes you win a lot of independence; you have to do all by yourself and take care you of yourself. (that's refers to money, to food, to hours to sleep, to go or not to university, to study or not, to go out and take care of you, and all the things you can imagine)

Finally I want to say that (knowing of course that I travel almost every weekend to Viña del Mar) have two lifes and two cities to live it is awesome <3

A subject I enjoy studying this semester: "Dinamicas de la Administracion publica chilena"

Hi friends! <3 Today I'm gonna write two notes; this first one is about a subject I enjoy studying this semester; "Dinamicas de la Administracion publica chilena".

First I'm gonna say that I like this subject because the contents of the programme permited me understand how the chilean public administration works (I mean, now I read or watch the news and understand how it works everything or a least part of it).

Secondly, I really like the evaluation method; the nots, the tests and the case study put the theoretical things in practice and that's really important so I really appreciate that.

But not everything is rose, the subject has negative things or things I don't like; I love professor Pliscoff but I don't like the way he teaches, I found it boring and I don't like much the idea of reading a lot of texts, and with this subject happens a lot haha

But the main reason why I really enjoy studying this subject this semester, is because of the talks. In this months we visited or had been visited by representatives of differents areas of the chilean public administration and the talk with the Health's Superintendent results a crucial moment in my life, in that talk I realized how much I would really like to work in this field.

That's all I can say about this subject, but I don't wanna leave behind another subject I really enjoy this semester; it's a free subject, Zumba hahaha. I love had the opportunity to practice sport again and even more if that's mean dance. So zumba helps me not missing much dance, and free all the stress the university brings with it.

Career-related website/an expert on your field: OMS-Carmen Castillo

Hi It's Wednesday morning!! Today's theme post is a career related website or an expert on your field. I'm not gonna lie, it's was very difficult to me to decide, but after thinking well I'm gonna talk about the OMS's website and Carmen Castillo, Health's secretary.

The reason why I choose this both things, it's that in the last few days, Health's theme has been all over the medios, specially transplantation, and that made me think that I would really like to work in this area. So consider that this would my personal field, I decide to talk about things related to Health.

First of all I searched a Health's website, and yesterday I remember about the OMS (World Health Organization) and I enter to the website now and I realized it's very useful. It has news, statistics, projects and some other things that could be used in the INE or even in the same Health's Department.

I want to talk about Carmen Castillo too, Health's secretary. She's surgeon doctor of the "Universidad de Chile" and has a magister on public health in the same university. Also has a long career path on Public Health. I would really like be the future secretary of Health's department, so this woman represents a kind of expert on my future field.

Talk about this two things, mades me think of a crucial debate in Public Administration. It's most important the skill, the expertise, the politic? I think that in the minister's position it's important to know technique things and field things, that's why for example in Health's department, the person in charge needs to know Public administration and health things (a nurse or a doctor) or that's what I think.

Well guys it's all for today <3 Thanks for reading.

Themed/free post:La Moral Distraída

Hi everyone it's me again! As I told you, in this days I will be writing all the time, so it was very difficult to me to decide what to tell you today. There's a music group that I have been listening a lot, so I'm going to write about them. Their name is "Moral Distraída".

In April (I think) of this year, there was in Valparaíso a "Welcome Concert" for the PUCV's students and, as many of my friends study in that university they went to the event. In this concert performed "Ases Falsos", "Villa Cariño" and "Moral Distraída". I knew the first two, but the last one I didn't know and my friends neither, but after that concert my friends fell in love with the group and listened all day, so they introduced me the group and their music.

So I started to listened, and little by little I started to fell in love with the group too. Last Wednesday I went to a concert in the "Instituto Nacional" where they were and performed, and I fell in love even more. 

*but of all the guys of this group, I'm in love with Camilo Schriever, the percussionist, and I have the luck of having him on facebook, and the day before of this concert I talk with him and in the concert we took a picture together!!!<3)

The group is conformed by ten guys; Camilo Zicavo, Abel Zicavo, Amaru Lopez, Camilo Schriever <3, Javier Ramos, Guille Scherping <3, Mauro Campos and others. They defined their music as "una fiesta pa' tu cuerpo" and they mixed a lot of music styles like "cumbia, hiphop, tropical,etc" and their lyrics talk about things like love, national contingency and life. I think that's why they are having success with the public, because they are fresh, their music is likeable... It's impossible listening them and not fall in love immediately.

Well I think they are really great and I would really like that more people fell in love with them. So I made the invitation to listen them and that's why to finish I'm gonna append my favourite song of them. Bye guys!! <3

My favourite song <3

A photography story...

This is my second and last post of the day, I promised hahaha. Well, now I'm going to tell the story behind this photograph;

It was taken in 2014,January. It's me and one of my closest friend: Nicolas Klenner.

After New Years Eve, me and my friends (Nacha, Nicolas and Isa) travelled to Maitencillo to spend the first days of the year having a good time without parents and only with us, no one knew us there. So, the second day we went to the beach and, as Nicolas and I were dancers or that's what we thought, we decided to make lifts in the beach, and the other girls, Nacha and Isa started to take us photos, and this is the best of all the photographs that were taken.

I liked this photo for three reasons;

1. Reminds me, my time of ballerina, when I can do lifts and spend a really good time doing it. 

2. Reminds me that trip hahaha. We were there for three days, but were 3 perfect days <3 After the photo were taken, my friends and I decided to take sun, so we laid in the beach but we forgot to put ourselves sun block and we fell sleep ,so when we woke up we were like tomatos!!! We can not stop laughing and suffering for that hahaha.

3. And of course because it's a perfect picture isn't it?

I'm back: Themed/free post...Something that I love

Oh my god! It's been a long time isn't it? Well I didn't write in all this time because as everybody knows, in Chile there's a student's movement, and my career, my university and a lot of education's centers declared itselfs in strike. But tomorrow, we the EGGP, have to going back to classes, so I'm here ready to write more things about me and my life. I'm back.

This time I'm going to talk about something that I love with all my heart; Dance

My first experience with Dance was when I was a little girl, my parents told me that I had like 3 years old and I stayed in front of the TV and danced all Backstreet Boys songs, they told me that I really enjoyed that. Then I remembered, as the time I had 7-8 years old, that I really loved to dance and I entered in all the groups where I can do it; I danced in a folcklore team, I participated in all school dances, and went with my mom to all entertaining dance classes.

But my relationship with professional dance or Dance as an art started in 2011. That year I entered High School, and in my new school, there was a lot of girls who practiced dance as something more professional and I can't explain how much I love saw that. So I started to imitated this girls but soon, I realized that I needed an academy, a teacher who can teach me that kind of dance.

So I entered to "Casa de la Danza" to learn Contemporary and Ballet. It was the most beautiful time of my life. I felt like a ballerina. I learn a lot and participate in a lot of choreographies and tournaments. I really love that place because the teachers believed in me and demanded more of me every class. 


But, every beautiful thing must come to an end. When I was in my senior year in the school, the dance interfered with all my academic things, and I receipt a lot of negative comments of all places: My teachers of the School and the pre-university told me that I have to decide if I want to study Dance or a real career, that I have a precious intelligence that I can not waste it. In the other side my dance's teachers told me that I'm not giving all to dance. So I had to decide....

and here I am studying Public Administration in the best university of the country. I really miss Dance, I really miss the sensation, to feel like a real ballerina. I think I never been so happy. I would really like to feel that way again. 

The most beautiful thing in the world: Dance <3 <3 <3

EGGP's Leadership Program

Next week my English's classmates and I, have a little presentation about any topic related to our education, specially related to our program Public Administration. In this opportunity I'm going to talk about about the "EGGP's Leadership Program". 

We, as students of second year, had the possibility to be the first students who have the "EGGP's Leadership Program" and that's why I found interesting to talk about this topic; using the point of view of the School, the teachers and of course the students, about this program. 

My presentation is gonna have; 

1) What it is the "EGGP's Leadership Program"? What is his objective? 

2) Where it is coming from? (the precedents of the program) and how presents itself to the future

*This two points are related to the School's vision of the Program

3) The teachers and students vision of the Program (I want to make this part more dinamic, using games, videos, etc. I have not decided yet, but I want to make something fun)

4) Considering this three points of view, make a solid critic to the "EGGP's Leadership Program"

I found interesting talk about this program too, because recently it has some difficults in students of second year. After a lot of critics, the School's Direction decided to cancel the obligatory attendence and the Program have only two students in the classroom!! So here's a problem and I'm going to find it!!

My favourite piece of technology

Hi my friends! How u doing? Today I'm going to talk about my favourite piece of technology: my cellphone.

Actually my history with cellphones is really sadly, I had lost and broken so many cellphones, I'm like "manitos de hacha" in a Chilean way. In 2014, only in January to June, I had lost 2 cellphones, so my dad punished me, forcing me to use an old cellphone (the only function it has was to call). I conserved it and take care of it like I never did it with any cellphone. In November, before the PSU my dad gave to me a new cellphone; the LG G2 mini. (it has whatsapp and internet so I felt very excited)

I use my cellphone to comunicate with my family and friends through whatsapp and calls. To procastinate listening to music, watching videos or facebook. My cellphone it's a really great company.

I used it every day, every minute, even I can say like I'm little addicted to it, but recently I used it less than before, because I started to study more.

I liked this piece of technology, because it is perfect. (even if sometimes it gets stuck in some apps) It helps me to comunicate with my family and friends of Viña, and that's really important to me. And allows me listening to music, and that's one of the things I love to do, because it's relaxing.

I can't imagine my life without it. My cellphone is really useful and I can't picture me without an object who allows me to comunicate with the most importants things in my life.

So here's a picture of an LG G2 Mini so you can have an idea of it.

Public Administration: how I get here?

When I was a little girl, the only way I could study was to talk about the things I have learned in school, so I put my teddy bears in my bed and pretended to be a teacher, that's why my dream job when I was child, was to become a teacher, but after a couple of years I realized that I don't have much patience.

When I was in High School, I started to think in other programs options, like Laws, Phonoaudiology, Social Work, Public Administration, and of course Dance. As you can see, many of this programs have something in common: help to other people. I realized since I was a little girl, that I wanna to work with people, specially if that involucrates help them.

When was the time of the university's postulations I have 3 options in mind; Social Work, Public Administration and Dance. After a conversation with my dad about the positive and negative things about each program, I decided to study Public Administration because it's a multidisciplinary program and I like that. Also give me the chance to help people in a major way than Social work, and with this program I can make that the artistics jobs would be more valorated in this society.

So I enter last year to "Universidad de Chile" to study Public Administration. My experience has been good. I like the classes even if I found it boring sometimes. I like the character of the university and the program. I made some good friends and I hope the experiencie continue in this way. Despite that, sometimes it is really difficult to me to know if I'm in the right place, sometimes I think of how would be my life if I have decided to study Social Work or Dance. But some classes, some teachers make me think that I'm in the right way.

In the future, I would like to work in a Ministry, I think of Segegob, Culture, Health Care or some Services like Senda for example. I think about ONG's too like "Hogar de Cristo", "Teleton" or "Paz Ciudadana", etc. It seems like I'm a little lost but I don't think that. I think I'm young and I have so many things to know before deciding my future.

Family & friends

The theme of this new post should be "My Autobiography", but I did that topic in the last post . Despite that, I want to write more about myself. Miss Carolina told us that we can write about anything relevant to our lives. So in this post I will write about my family and friends, the most importants things in my life.

My family: They are really special to me. We are three/four, it is difficult to count it. We have; my mom, my dad, my brother and me. My mom died 3 years ago. She'll always be part of my family, that's why I count four, but physically we are three: my guys and me. After my mom died, I started to appreciate the importance of the family. Really I can't imagine my life without my dad and my brother. They mean a lot to me. We have learned how to manage family's life without my mom and I really love them so much.

My friends: They also mean the world to me. After my mom died, they became my second family. They are always there for me, their families receipt me as one of them too. My friends feed me, take care of me, listen all my dramas, they tolerate me on my worst days. Really I love them too. I have a lot of little friends, who also do that kind of things, but I have my best best friends, they are Nacha and Nicolas. They are my partners of life. I will not know what to do without them.

As you can see, after my mom died, the people who were constantly surround me, became my support and my world. I really love my family and my friends. I really miss them, because they are in Viña del Mar, my home, that's why I travel a lot, to see them.

So here I am, this is my first time in a blog and I think that in my first post I have to introduce myself.

My name is Maria Belen Estay, I'm 19 years old. I'm studying Public Administration in "Universidad de Chile". I love my family and friends. One thing I love to do is to dance. My dream that got away is to become a famous ballerina :(

This photo reminds one of the best moments of my life. It was the "1° CERTAMEN DE DANZA DE CALLE LARGA, LOS ANDES " I performed "Chicago" with my dancer mates, and we won the first place in "Freestyle". I felt very excited and in that moment I realized I love to dance.
