Hi everyone! Today I am going to write about a landmark. In 2011, when I was in 9th grade I made a travel to the north of Chile with my history class. We visited mines and saltpeter offices. One of them was Humberstone. It is a tourist landmark of the Tarapacá Región. It is located near Iquique and It is a National Monuments and Cultural Heritage of the Humanity. It was abandoned in 1960 and today It is a phantom town. It is the main representative of the splendor and contrast period that lived the Region between the end of the XlX century and beginnings of the XX. We  had a tour of all the town and everything looked phantasmagoric. It is in the desert so it was so hot and dry. The constructions are of wood and looked very old. The houses have its things like the people still living there but since fifty years ago there were nobody. There was an empty school and there were children games. It looked terrorific. In spite of that, it is a place very visited by tourist and schools. After the visit my class have to do a work about the places we have visited and my group had the Hambertone topic. It was an amazing travel because I was going with my friends and I was learned a lot of the history of the place.

I consider that I am an artistic person. I like do many artistics activities like draw, paint, do handicrafts, cook,  making clothes, sing, play music, photography, etc. I always like this activities. The most I have learn for my own, but I really want learn all of it. In the school I was always in all artistics academies like plastic arts and music. But the art activity that I like so much is dance. I like it because it is a form of expression and it is a way of being distracted with a hobby. For me it has been the best way to exercise. I like dance Street dance like Hip-Hop, House, etc. All started because since always I have to found a Sport that I really like.

In 2015 I went to Rihanna´s concert, here in the National Stadium of Santiago. Rihanna is my favourite singer so I was waiting a long time for her to come to Chile. It was close to my birthday so it was the best birthday gift. I hear her for first time with the hit "Don´t Stop the Music" in 2007. Since that I like all her music. I know all her songs and I sing them all. She is from Barbados and today with only 29 years she is a singer, a songwriter, a record producer, an actress, a model, a dancer, a fashion designer and a businesswoman. She began her career in 2005 and actually have 8 cds. Her music styles are my favourites: Pop, R&B and hip hop. These are danceable. I had never been to a concert of such magnitude. I went with my mom, she also likes it too and wanted to go with me. She was excited just like me. It was like going with a friend. I remember that I was from 5pm to get a good seat and the concert lasted 8pm to 12am and there were great 4 hour of music. The s...

This photo was took in 2014, in my graduation for the school. I like this photo because it was a really good night. The parents of my class organized an enjoyable party for all of us. My friends and I have really enjoyed it. In my family we are four. Also for this date have came to visit my grandmother. It was many time that I don´t see her. But she isn´t in the picture. There is my mother at the left and my father at the right. In the middle are my little brother Joaquín and I. We have almost five years of age difference but we are so close. Today my family has changed a little. My brother is almost 16 and he is taller than me. My parents are not together now and I can say that actually with my brother have two families. I don´t leave with them, because I came to study here in Santiago and they live in La Serena. I visit them only in vacations and in the long weekends, because is a long trip and my career don´t leave me much freetime.
