Post 8: A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

Well, the truth is that during this year I have not attended classes because I finish my classes at university. At this moment I am working on my thesis project which is the only thing that I am missing in order to finish my process within the university, well, also with English.

But if I can remember some of the subjects that I had and that I found interesting. One of them was the subject of documentary. This subject was part of the elective to choose and it was a very good choice in my opinion.

I liked the subject because it was interesting to be able to learn about audiovisual language, because I always liked cinema and combining journalism was interesting. The teacher displayed examples of the types of documentaries that exist. Some were more informative, others were more artistic.

I liked more those audiovisual works in which you could make a work of art. And that motivates me to focus on what I study in this subject, because I would like to dedicate myself to the creation of this type of content that I think they need. Because there are many interesting stories to tell. And I hope to be able to generate change or help in something to create a better society for all.

An Expert on your Field

In my school age, I had several good teachers who in a some way marked me in different areas, but there is one that highlights over the others. 

The name of my teacher was Orlando Palma. He was an excellent math teacher. He had a great knowledge about topics that he teach. Furtherless he explain very well things that for other are very difficult.

What always called my attention from him, is that he opened his heart and he told us a lot of their personal live experiences, which are very hard to imagine about a man like him. 

He always told us about their humble origins. the poverty where hi lived, the times that he was arrested before to have 21 years old and the efforts that he had to do in order to convert himself in a happy man. Now he is In loved of his wife and children but never forgetting what he lived.

I will always remember this phrase that he always says.... " Money don't make me happy, with all my studies i could be millionare if i work in something else, but i love to be a teacher and i love my family. Everyday i sing in the shower and i come to school whistling a song, and with that i'm happy. I don't need anything else".

A Band / Singer I like

I listen a lot kind of music. I like several and different styles. In general is more spanish music and only a few others bands in english language. that´s why is difficult to me think just in one singer or band. One of the bands that I listen commonly is "Anarquia Tropical". This band is a chilean band and is well known beacuse they mix rythms of rock and another styles called cumbia. Its message is about anarchy and political content. It' s lyric has a deep social message criticizing capitalist economical model unit the exaggeration. In some cases adding a little of humor on it "Satan es la cumbia" is the track tht I remember always, not because is my favourite, but was the first that I heard about this band. In this song there is a deep criticism to catholic institution. It´s live´s performing are full energy, they are a great band because the quality of their musicians and the show that they perform over the scenario.
