"Hard Cony" =)

Today I want to tell you about a journalist that I admire. Her name is Constanza Santa María. She was born in 1973, a few months before the Coup d’état. She studied at Universidad Católica de Chile and graduated as a journalist in 1995. She started as a reporter in the channel of the university (Canal 13), after that she worked writing in the newspaper “El Mercurio” until 1997, time that she returned to Canal 13.

In 1999, she got the Fullbright scholarship, to do a master in the University of Columbia, until June of 2000. While she was studying in Columbia, she won an award for a documentary about the Islas Vieques in Puerto Rico. Up to the day she’s still working in Canal 13 as a leader in the morning news.

I like her because I think that she is one of the best journalists in the country. She is smart, sincere but, above all, she is straight with people, and that’s make her an interesting person. Her style to interview is unique and I think that she is an example to follow.

That’s all for today, I apologize if my presentation was boring…

Good night! And take care!

The earth is shaking!!

Hello my friends… I’m back!!! =)
Today I want to tell how I lived the earthquake of the past February 27th.
I was in my house with my family (dad, mom, brother) and a friend of my brother, who is a part of the family to us.
My dad arrived from Concepción two hours earlier than the earthquake hit the country and left that city devastated.
When the earthquake started we were luckily all awake so we could act really fast to get to a safe zone just in time before the lights went out.
While the earth was shaking beneath us, I felt like I was in Fantansilandia, honestly it was a little fun for me but only for a few seconds, after that I stated to get worried. Meanwhile my brother and his friend were holding to my parents very tightly. They were too scared; this is was our first earthquake!
When it all happens, we were to check how everything in my house was and my dad went out to help our neighbours. It was a long night because we didn’t know anything about our relatives who were travelling during the earthquake, which was worrying.
About that night, I must say that was one of the most terrifying experiences for all the Chileans who lived in the disaster zone.

That’s all for now! Good night!! and take care!!

Welcome all!

Hello!
My name is Karina Andrea Ruz Hernández. I am twenty years old. I am a student in the Universidad de Chile and I give you the welcome to my first blog. I have to say that I don’t know much about being a blogger, so I’m a little scared! But I’ll do my best and I hope you enjoy it!
I can tell you that this blog it’s for my English class at the university, to see my progress at the course.

About the picture I can tell you that I am the little girl. I was one year old, and the man beside me is my grandfather. One of the most important person in my life.

That’s it for now. I hope you come back to my blog. Take care and goodbye!
