Why did I chose this career?

 It really impresses me that at the age of...I dont't know, maybe twelve or so, what I wanted to be was the president of Chile. That, was obviously influenced by Michelle Bachelet, who was president at that time. I don't want to do that any more, even when I turn fourteen I realized that, I'm not interested in politics or social work (thoug I know that in this contry politics are unavoidable). After my dad made me read Harry Potter I started to read for fun and basically I fell in love with literature and fiction. Because of that my first option of future career was literature, but no long after I found out that you only study literature to be a teacher or a seller in the Antartica or some other bookshop. It is a real pitty.  

Finally I decided to film and TV because is not so diferent to what I was looking for in literature: telling stories. Of corse there are multiple areas of work in film and TV, like documentary, fiction, report, you can even end up in the theater. For that reason I liked the idea of this career, you can do a bunch of stuff...editing, lighting, direction, make up, costume, sound, dialogue...Dialogue was what most call my atention, but that is just because I like to write since I was little (that was also one of the reason to study literature for starters). And it really fits me because I like the esthetics, the experience you can give with just a image or a sound, that intrigues me. 

In this few weeks I have had a very rewarding experience, the  personalitys and interests, all is so much more different than school and in some ways is a relif to find someone alike you in some aspects (not in all of them of course). And I'm not particular enthusiastic about working abroad, but is not some thing I wouldn't consider, but fitst I want to have some experience here, in a familiar enviroment.

About myself...


Ok...so I'm Aurora, everyone usually just call me Auro (I think It is kind of obvuios, right?), I was born in Santiago but right after that (I was one moths old) me and my parents went to Spain, more exactly to Ibiza, because my mom got a scholarship to study abroad. There I lived my first four years, but we came back to Chile and Santiago for the family and...and I suppose beacause we became homesick. 

After we came back I have live always in Peñalolén, except the first year were we had an aparment close to Plaza Dignidad. I went to just one school, I had ( still have) one grup of friends, and since the school were I went to was not...pritty small, but small anyways, some people known you, for example the sport teacher or the secretery...my sister is still there. 

By the way I have a sister, her name is Olivia and she has eleven yeras old. We are kind of similar in some aspects: we both like to draw, or do  manual crafts, write stories and read, but she only reads in the school, I in the other hand read when ever I can, I'm a little obsess with books. I don't know if being introvert is related to that, but I'm introvert and shy, but I'm working on that...

One of my favorite writers is Haruki Murakami, he is really depressing but I like that. One of my favorite directors is Wes Anderson but also Tim Burton, he is cracy and I love it (but not so much his latets movies). I'm studying film and TV, I'm in my first year...and, I think that it.

My year so far...

My year so far hasn't being as bad as you may think (with the strike and all). At first was attractive because I expose myself to an env...
