Blog IV: My first football Championship

 A day to remember

While recording the evaluated video, I remembered a very special moment in my life that I had completely forgotten: my first football championship. This happened in 2013. Before that I was never given the chance to play one, because the teachers and some classmates did not consider me "good at playing soccer" and I was never an option to play, until I entered to a new high school. I had the opportunity to sign up for a welcome tournament for new students and I would not waste the opportunity that I waited for years. 

Although, I was very anxious, I fell asleep and arrived late to the tournament (It was a Saturday morning, type 8-9 am). In total we were 10 players, and we only got 7, having to play only 6, so I decided to go to the bench, so that my teammates could play. Unfortunately we lost that match, but we were not discouraged, and we won the 2 remaining matches of the group stage, finishing second.

In the knockout phase, we won by a landslide in the quarterfinals, and we had a very difficult game in the semifinals, but we managed to get the results and qualified for the final. To everyone's surprise... we had to play against those who lost in the group stage!. Now, with much more confidence, we played as equals, and I went to the bench in the second half, we were winning 2-1, and in one play, they tied us and our goalkeeper was injured.

I had to enter again, but in the position I least like to play: goalkeeper (because I am somewhat uncoordinated with my hands hehe). I don't know how, but I saved all the shots of our opponents (and in one moment, they tried to injure me), but we had to go to the penal instance. We took an advantage, and it was my turn to shoot, but I gave the place to a teammate with a better shot than me... And we won that tournament!


When they gave us the gold medals, the parents who saw us, congratulated us and took this photo. Later, when I got home, no one could believe that we won that tournament, and now it is a memory that will live in my memory for many years.

 England, a beautiful place In all my life, i look some cities and countries in series and TV programs, and I loved one country in specific: England. I would like to go to England, especially London, to learn more about the way of life and the culture that they have. I liked it because has very old buildings, such as castles and forts that were used in times of war, and their styles are so varied that I would like to know each one of them.  The culture of england is very interesting, because they are part of a monarchy, but as a nation they have a different way of governing themselves, having a very distinctive culture within the United Kingdom.  The gastronomy has a large amount of preparations, which have influence from different nations due to the period of colonization that the nation had in 17th century .Among all the preparations that they have we can find: -Cornish pasty: It is the country's favorite cake, the dough is a combination of onion, flour and po...

Blog III: My favorite hobby

 My favorite Hobby: Play videogames In all my life, i have looked for how to entertain myself: reading mangas, listening to music, watching series, but none have entertained me as much as playing video games. I entered in the world of video games from a very young age (5 years if memory serves me correctly), because an aunt, who lives in the United States gave me a game boy advance. This console came with a game, which to this day is my favorite, its name is Pokemon Ruby. From 2005 to the present I have had many consoles and I have played a large number of video games, but I took a special affection for this one (In fact, I still have it). When I play, my mind gets lost and concentrates on the video game that I am watching, and honestly, I lose track of time (sometimes this has brought me problems, but those are things that happen hehe).  Another thing that I like is that I usually focus on the main character, imagining that I am him, either in an RPG such as pokemon...

Blog VI: My future plans

 The plan of a lost soul. Good afternoon everybody! Today is the last English blog, is it a sad day? Possibly... The topic is interesting? Of course. Since I am a college student, I've heard a question repeatedly, and I've never found a specific answer: What do you plan to do after graduation? After I get my degree, (as I mentioned in the previous blog) I would like to continue studying for a postgraduate degree; I have not yet decided on a specific specialty but I have some in mind, such as orthodontics, pediatric dentistry and forensic dentistry, but lately I'm more interested in this last option, because in my opinion it is a very important branch of dentistry, because as you know, thanks to techniques of forensic dentistry is that indirectly was founded our faculty, thanks to German Valenzuela Basterrica, who identified a body by analyzing the teeth of this and avoided a war of interests with Germany (a long history...). This is very interesting for me becau...
