  I thought for many years that this photograph was lost. Maybe that is why I have a lot of affection of this photo. I took this photograph around 2005. I was four years old. I was walking, disguised as Batman, with my mother to go buy something, when a man stopped us. He had a horse. He asked us if we wanted to take a photo. My mom asked how much it cost. He told her that a thousand pesos. “Do you deliver it immediately?” “No”, said the man, “I deliver it to your home”  My mom thought it was a scam and she refused. Then I started crying in such a way that my mother agreed. So, I took the photo mounted on the horse, and I went to the place happy. A week passed, and my mother thought that the thousand pesos had been lost already. But somebody knocked the door. Was the man on the horse, and in his hand he carried my photo.  Then magically the photo was lost. I do not know how. But my mom always remembered the photo and she said it was very pretty. I even came to think that ...

I have always had a cell phone since I was ten years old. So I think that the cell phone is my favorite technology, although I try to not occupy it too much. Generally, I use it to watch Youtube, Facebook, Instagram or check the email. Also, it helps me with the videos that I have to make for the university, because I don’t have a camera. So, in that way, it is very important, if I want to get good grades. I don’t recommend using it too much because it’s very addictive and you can waste a lot of time on useless things.   I always break my cell phone: they drop, get wet, or suddenly they don’t turn on. No cell phone has lasted more than two years. It’s terrible. The last cell phone that I broke was because I tried to make a video. My first cell phone was the one from the Yingo program.

My dream job when I was a child was to be a soccer player, even though I wasn't good at playing. My favorite soccer player was Messi and my favorite team was Universidad de Chile and Barcelona. Later, when I was in the high school, I wanted to be a musician. That is why I got into a career in sound engineering. And, when I left that career, I decided to study Film and Tv. I also had other option like Literature and Philosophy. But in the end, I chose that career because I wanted to do something creative.  My experience in the university until now has been bad, because I don’t like the classes online. I feel like I don’t learn as well as I should.  In the future I would like to work as a screenwriter or something like that.
