My favorite course 

My favorite course of this semester is photography, I know that I've mentioned it before, but I really really love it, also,  at the same time is the course that causes me the most frustration. This course is the second part of Photojournalism, and in theory it should be a practical course but it´s not being like that. I did´t choose this course, it was assigned to me through the ranking. 

The problem with this course is that the program is not done for that we learn the technical aspects of taking a photo, and for me that is the half part of taking a good picture, in this course we just learned the basic aspects. 

 The other half is give to the picture a good content, and in this course we are supposed to learn how to give content to a picture by looking others photographers work on the internet. we passed every class looking at pictures online instead of going out and take pictures, that for me is what really gives you a personal look of an image. 

It seems like I hate this course, but the reality is that I love photography, so I really expect to learn, but I feel that in this program I just look at pictures online. The good part of this is that I´ve learned a little of how to use Photoshop, what has become an obsession, I spend so much of my free time playing with the program that I forget to do what I really have to do.

One day some students of journalism at the University of Chile came into my school, that day I started to think about the career. It looked like a good idea because it's a career where you can do or study various themes like politics, art or what you what. Even after I took the PSU I wasn’t sure  about the career but I decide to try luck. Now that I am in the third year of the career I´ve discovered much things about the journalism that every day makes me more excited, in the future I hope to dedicate myself to photojournalism because is a great way o...

My name is Catalina, I am 21 years old and I am from Santiago. I was born on july 8th of 1995, my mom is a single mother so I live with her and my grand parents. I studied all my life in the same school, at Republica de Siria School. At nine years old I started to practice rhythmic gymnastics, so in the mornings I went to study and in the afternoon I would train. When I was around 15 years old I had and injury on my hip so I had to get surgery two times. After that I quit rhythmic gymnastics and focused on entering to college and discoverd what I wanted to study. Finally I found out that journalism was what I wanted to be and what I'm passionate about.
