Astronauts and journalists

In my childhood, when I was between 3 – 7 years old, I stayed a great part of the night seeing the moon. My family said that I will be an astronaut. And I wanted a lot, but the circumstances and the years changes to one a lot, you know.

When I was 14 -15 years old I started to read a lot, and my preferences changed very fast. First I wanted to be a lawyer, in fact, was one of my options in the postulation process of university. But I saw journalism a very attractive career.

When I saw that a lot of my favorites writers were journalists I liked a lot the idea to be one. But the most important factor in my decision was the social impact of journalism. With this career I can know other realities and people that in other instances I couldn’t have done it, and I can help them, maybe not directly, but I can help to make visible their situation.

With journalism, maybe I can´t go to the outer space, but I can travel -and I want very much- a lot in the planet earth.

  3. I love looking at the moon too, in fact, for the earthquake of 2010, the light went away for many days and I remember how the sky was, beautiful! Anyway, be a journalist is a really good way to helping people, like the cinema, make some situations visible! :)
