I like ritmic gimnastic.


When I was younger, I went to a catholic girl's school.
One day I was doing sport with my classmates and a teacher invited me to participate in gimnastics.
I wasn't very happy because all my friends were invited to play volleyball, but finally I decided to go to gimnastic because my mom told me that it was going to be fun and that was a good oportunity to learn something new.

So, I am practicing gimnastic since then (like 12 years)
I think that this sport is perfect for me because it has all the things that I love doing, is the best combination of ballet and modern music. Also, you have to use different kind of elements like ribbon, hoop, ball and string.

I went to a lot of competitions, in which I won a lot of medals.
Also, I received a lot of prizes at school for being a constant and persevering girl, because I used to spend a lot of time practicing and in spite of that I was a really good student.
So I can say that doing sport helped me to build up my personality, I became very responsible, I learnt how to work in group and how to face the frustation of losing.

Went I started college, all my free time was dedicated to study, because I was in bachillerato, that is a very difficult career.
I was very sad and stressed because gimnasctic has always been my way of distraction and relax. So I started to play football with some friends and we created a team.

Last year I arrived to Kinesiology,I has more free time so I talked with my old gimnastic coach and she decided to train me again, because this university doesn't have ritmic gimnastic as a sport.
So now I am working in order to improve my elongation and gimnastic skills in order to represent this university in some competition any time soon, without leaving football.

A horrible 27!

It was a wonderful february friday, I was in the beach house that my parents have in Consitorial, that is a little beach near El tabo.

I was alone with my sister and in that afternoon my parents arrived from Santiago in order to spend some time with us.

My family and I loved the sea and that day when we went to the beach we found it a bit different from the other days, but we didn´t say anything about it.



At night my mother and I decided to see Ricardo Arjona because he was going to present his songs in the Viña Festival, so I decided to stay at home and I didn´t go to any party.

When Arjona´s presentation was over I realized that my mom was sleeping and I went to bed too, because i was too tired.



My dog was next to my bed and at 3 am she started to cry, so I went outside with her.

When I was coming back to my bed the floor started to move very slowly for a while, but then the movement became more agressive, it was definitely an earthquare.

I was very scared, my dad took the car, I put some thing on it like bags and food.

The funny part was that my mother was making the beds while my dad was closing the house, because she was very nervous.



We arrived to Stgo like 3 hours later and we started to call all my family to know if they where OK.

That month was terrible, the TV showed disasters everywhere and a lot of people in the south of Chile was suffering, so I went to Pichidegua, a place near Rancagua in order to help in anything that they needed.

It was a very shoking experience, but I have learn a lot of it, like how to value every simple and litlle thing of life, because every day could be the last one.

Why Do I Have this blog?

I'm a student of Kinesiologia, second year, in the University of Chile.
This year is very importante because I have been transferred from Bachillerato to Kinesiologia, that means a big step for me because it was really hard to approve all the differents subjects that bachillerato have and to stay in the university.

Now I'm trying something new in english class. Me and my classmates created a blog that connect us with our teacher and he send us different kind of activities through this blog, so I think that is a very modern and entertaining way to learn.

So welcome to my blog, I'll see you soon.
