How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place

When i was little i fantasized about working on a megazine writing about fashion, how the culture impact them and thats stuff. But when i grew up my perspective expanded.  Now that i'm studying journalism and see how is it in Chile i really want to make a difference and actually do what journalism supposed to be.  That means really be clear about information, with no shadows in the middle that can be manipulative by others, try to be equal and respectful with all the cultures, gender and people's right. This is what journalism is.   The journalism have the power of report people  aurnd the world, can connect one country to other, one culture with other, it's almost like a glue of information. That's why it is fundamental that journalism must be equitable, respectful, transparent and legal with the data and for all of them who have access and are part of it.

The Story of a Picture

 This picture here it's special to me. It was tooken for me in a trip i went with my parent to see my grandfather because in that time he was a little bit sick. My grandpa lives in Mehuin, a village located in Valdivia, where is a beach, a fishing zone and a lot of field.  So, in this pucture, i can feel the freedom i felt in that moment and how warm was seeing my parents togheter. My dad was rowing and my mom was giving him indications, mostly by shouting orders to him so it was really funny and carefree.  It can see a little dumb, but it was memorable to me. 

A Meal or Food You Really Like

I used to eat all types of food years ago, but in the year 2017 i become vegan so my plates are full of vegetables, fruits, seeds, soy, beans, and others veggy food. I love variety of vegan food, but in this case i'm gonna choose the burritos.  The burritos is a very common meal that can have multiples ingredients. You can put there meat, beans, tomato, lettuce, spicy souce, onion, and so many other. All the ingredients go inside of a soft mass, very elastic and firm.  It's a very complete meal because you can put whatever you want on it, it doesn't mean that can be just trashy food, but also healthy and delicious. 

My Favorite Piece of Technology

 My favorite piece of technology is the camera, in every kind. I'm not a profesional photographer i just like take pictures of the moments, also i'm a big fan of selfies haha. I usally use the phone's camera, because it's more practical and i don't have any other camera besides the laptop's camera. i feel that the camera can capture the essence of so many moments, so you can watch them more later in time. It's great to keep memories and in someway live them again. Photos can have information, feelings, sensations, and other stuff.  I would love to have a professional camera and learn some techniques with it. I recommend the camera, in any type, because is nice to have documented memories so if you miss the moment you can just see the picture and maybe feel a little better. 

Why did i choose my major?

I study journalism in the third year and actually, qhen i was a child i used to dream about having a job as a journalist, working in a megazine. Then i started to grow, and after school i had another interest. My priority was psychology because i thought that it was a better match with my personality.  When i had to apply to college, i put those two options. Then, when the results came out and i was only selected for journalism, it was a little bit dissapointed.  In general. my experience studying journalism has been great. I have been met amazing people.  Sometimes, some class are boring, the most theoretical. The ones that are focus on practise are more entertaining and makes me want to know more about this career and do even more. 

Who am i?

I am Sofía Campos. i'm twenty one years old and i was born in Punta Arenas, Chile. I study journalism in the Universidad de Chile. For the moment, i had to travel back home, where it’s really cold. Right now, i live with my mom, dad, sister, nephew and my sister's boyfriend. They are staying here just for a while, because they used to live in Santiago too, so it takes time to adjust to the change. Also, i'm living with two bulldogs, female and male.  I like the air here in Punta Arenas. i'm not a big fan of cloudly-cold weather, but sometimes is nice. The diferences between here and Santigo are so many, but i like both citys.  💖
