A trip to Brasil

Like the teacher, I will speak to a travel. This was one of my better presents that I have received.

In the Christmas of 2003, when my family and I were unwrapping the gifts, my grandmother gave me a letter with a message. I took the letter and read this. It said that I had won a pass ticket to Brasil, to the waterfalls of Foz do Iguazú.

In this moment, I don’t understand nothing, because it was only a message, without the ticket (I thought it was a joke). But also my brother gave the letter. Then, I realized that this was serious. It was an invitation to travel for Argentina, Paraguay and Brasil, with my grandmother.

This was the first time that I left the country (and also the last). Therefore, I was so excited. With my cousin Patricia (also she traveled with us), we went all the trip by bus.

We crossed the mountains, lunched pizza on Mendoza, pass through El Chaco and arrived to Asunción, on Paraguay. I remember the food of this hotel; it was so much jajaja a breakfast of the gods. In this city I bought a shirt that I conserve to this day.

But the best of the travel was Iguazú. The giant waterfalls were awesome, the weather was incredible, and the food, jajaja, the food was tremendous. In this hotel they have a zoo, with turtles and iguanas on the garden. It was so beautiful. 

The first day

My first day in the University was not a uncomfortable moment. Luck for me, I knew someone of my new classmates, because we gather in a meeting, on Osvaldo Lizama's house. 

I went to ethic class, with the lecturer María Olivia Mönckeberg. She is a very famous journalist (a national prize), for her biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig books of investigations (five hundred pages). And is a bit self-centred. But is a great teacher, with experience in the journalism.

Later the class, we went to the auditorium, where we gather with Faride Zerán, other journalism's national prize, and the institute's director. She speak ourselves about the rol of the journalist for protect the democracy and the people, and denounce the abuses of to power. 

I remember that I speak with someone of my friends that I have accompanied them all the career, in the papers to the University, the hobbies, the parties and the politics university. For example, Iván Cea and Catalina Marilao, members to this class too.

This day, my fist day, I felt I complete a stage and this was the first steps for other. I don't mean that this was the adult life, but was a great step. Also, I like the journalism, so I was really happy this day.
