Changes to my study program

My career isn’t perfect. Journalism is currently considered like an easy career because we talk about everything, but as a journalist you don’t know much about anything. Everything we learn is to reproduce something that other people say. I would like that in this career we could learn about whatever we want, for example human rights. I know that those kinds of courses are available as a CFG, which is a complementary course to the curriculum, but I think that those issues are important for a journalist in training to know.

Another subject that I think that should be in our curriculum is non-sexist communication, because after all, as a journalist you have a huge labor of producing meaning. We create collective worldview and if we don’t understand the world as a place where we all are equal before the law and before the others we will reproduce a hate speech that isn’t right.

As a student, I would like to learn about different things, not just about cameras or how to write news or how to read for a radio programme. I love different languages and I value very much the native languages of Latin-American. This is why I would add to the curriculum of journalism the course of native languages, where we could at least learn a bit of words, just the necessary to communicate, and it would help to avoid the complete loss of theses cultures.

And about the use of technology, I wish that university wouldn’t so bureaucratic at the moment of asking for cameras or stuff like that. Also, I would like that my institute had more radio studios, because sometimes we can spend two hours waiting for our classmates while they record just because of the poor infrastructure.

MY BEST HOLIDAYS

I remember my best holidays as if it happened yesterday. Very good memories that I would like to have with me untill the end of my days. It was in summer of 2016, in a beach located in the north of Chile, called Guanaqueros. A very beautiful beach, with a lot of things to do and very good waves for swimming. We went there with two of my best friends and the family of one of them, that actually I’ve known them since I was a child so it feels like home. My two friends and I stayed in a camping, and the family stayed in a log cabin near the camping, but we always have lunch together. We did a lot of good things, during the day we were going to the beach, where we played a lot of things, like cards, volleyball, and swim in the water. At nights, we were going to the beach too, but to make different things, like make a wood fire, meet new people and maybe have a few drinks. So far, it was my very best holidays, because I can’t remember any moment of those two weeks in which I felt ...

MY PET

I have a little dog, her name is Danka, it’s a Beagle female dog, and she has been with us since christmas on 2006. Actually, I don´t know how she came to my house, becouse it was a present. I remember that one day I arrive to my house and there was her, sitting on the sofa. It was a very emotional moment that I will remember for my entire life. She is very beautiful and sweet, she loves to play in the garden and go for a walk in the park. I think that her favourite activity is to steal our food. Every time that we have food in our hands she tries to steal it, and most of time she gets it She is very important in my life, I love her like my little sister, maybe even more. I think that is the best company that I can have. It’s very nice to feel her love, every time I get home she runs to me and we hug each other. I always take care of her, becouse I really love her, and I know that she loves me, although she can’t say it.

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

A country I'd like to visit is Australia. It's more like a dream, but I'd love doing it. I dream of leaving my country someday because I hate the inefficiency of the politicians at mine. I know that Australia is in the highest standards of access to education and has one of the lowest percentage of criminality, wich makes it a really nice place to live. Furthermore, this country has a really beautiful geography, and beeing honest I've always dreamed of seeing a kangaroo in front of my eyes. I think that's the first thing I’d like to do when I get there. Maybe this sounds unrealistic but I’d love to work and have a life there. I dream of having a spacious house, because at mine i don’t have much space, and probably there, i could have one with a huge yard and a big dog. I really hope i’ll have the money to go someday.
