Sports in my life Sports were very present in my family, because my father loved sports and played tennis, principally until his health allowed him. My older brothers did sports too. So, when I was child I had a close relationship and a good disposition for sports.  Among the sports that I did, I enjoyed very much doing athletics at school. I don't know if I was good at it but I liked. But the sport that I most enjoy when I was child was riding horses. I did it from 7 to 12 years old and it was one of the most important experiences of my early life, because I could develop a kind of love and friendship with horses and because this sport wa s very demanding and needed a lot of discipline, and as a child, these elements were very important to form my personality (Though when my family had economic problems I had to leave this loved sport and, really, all sports for a very long time). But,  when I became an adolescent I putted my attention on music and books and I l...
Postgradute Studies I really love studying, and I have not stopped doing it from pre-kinder. Nowadays, I am studying a PhD in Latin American Studies, but if in the future I would have the opportunity to study again I would choose history of art or economy or, maybe, if I would have a lot of time, both: history of art to enjoy and economy to understand better social and economic process and to be able to discuss with economists, who always invalidates critical ideas about economic system from social movements arguing that people doesn’t know anything about economy.

I would prefer a full-time face to face programme, in order to live for a time abroad and have the experi...
My future job I can´t imagine that in the future I will be doing something different from that I have been doing so far: being a university professor. I love my job, I love teaching and interacting with young people and motivate my students to learn, to work up a critical point of view about society and develop their own thinking.  So, is difficult for me imagine myself doing other thing, therefore I would love to continue being a university professor but in much better conditions than today. For instance, in the future, I would like apply for a full time work at a public university, and have a contract and a salary every month as the contracted professors have. Fortunately, when I have a full time job as university professor I will be able travel every year to participate in congresses, seminars, courses and conferences, both in Chile and abroad. This is other point that I love of being professor, the opportunities of travel around the world. Now I´m studying a PhD in L...
