Why did I choose journalism?

In my last year of school I had not decided what to study. I was between law and journalism. I enjoy a lot the literature and the reading, so they were great options to me. Finally, I decide to study journalism, because of the impact, the experimentation in the writing, and especially, the social work of this job; beside my PSU’s score.

In my third year of university, I am a little disappointed about the career, especially with some teachers, who are lazy to make classes and to check works. Anyway, there are other teachers who motivate you with the career.

In spite of all, I still like journalism. Know other realities, the writing and the social work, are the factors why I am still here. In the future, I would like to do chronicles in a newspaper.

Auto Biography: south to south

My name is Francisco Troncoso Guzmán. I was born in 1996, in Coyhaique. My childhood was very pleasant in that city. I liked a lot the weather (specially the snow) and the people.

When I was 13 years old, because of my parent’s work, I changed of city. I arrived to Puerto Varas. Puerto Varas is a beautiful city, with a strong influence of German settlers. There it rains a lot, which I love.  But in Puerto Varas there are a lot of rich people too (cuicos), something that I hate. Fortunately, I studied in a simple school.

The nostalgia for Coyhaique grew up over the years. So, in the year 2014, when I was 17 years old, I returned, alone, to my native city. In Coyhaique I finished my last year of school. It was a great year.

My hobbies are the photography, the literature, reading and writing. For the last things I decided to study journalism.
