"Be or not to Be"

Hello everyone, I want to present myself, my name is Jorge Bravo Esteban Herrera.

I was born on August 6^th, 1992, in Santiago, Chile. I have lived here all my life, I studied in standard schools, until I was able to enter the "Liceo José Victorino Lastarria", which is the best school in Chile. Now I am studying Public Administration at the University of Chile, and I really like it.

My parents are called Jorge and Cecilia, my brother Pablo, and my sister Nayi. My family is not very big, but is the best family ever. They are great and each one of them has a particular perception of life. We are a very nice family, overall.

I am Christian, I am a musician, I love to write and read, I like to travel, I have visited Colombia and Argentina –which are very beautiful countries- I am very active, restless, funny, and critical thinker. I also like playing sports (even though it doesn’t show), I have a very social perspective of life, I think the basis of the "self" is not the individual person, but the people, personal relationships. I like to help the rest, I tend to be very relaxed, which sometimes makes me a bit careless, I struggle with my irresponsibility though, and I'm winning the battle. I think it is possible to change the world with every decision you make.

PS: My dad does not appear in the photos very much, because he is the one who takes them.

My Favorite Band, U2!

Hello my dear friends, this week I will post about my favourite band.

U2, its name, is a band from Dublín, Irland, which was formed in 1976; its members are Bono (the singer), The Edge (the guitarist), Adam Clayton (the bassist) and Larry Mullen (drummer). U2 is influenced by the genres of pop, alternative rock, dance, indie, but then it began to be the models of their own style, making it prevail in the world. From its origins, the band spoke out against abuses of power, dictatorship, social injustice, poverty, and inequality.

I like this band because it represents many of my ideals, their style of music is great, and my favourite song is, undoubtedly, "Where the Streets have no Name", in which they talk about a place where names do not matter, where there is no inequality, nor fights, where we can all live together in peace.

My Bycicle!

The bicycle may be considered an old piece of technology, but it's definitely new to me, it is not only a means of transportation, but also a way of seeing the world, slow down and see what is around us.

It is very healthy to use it, and environmentally friendly. It helps us to reduce our carbon footprint, to lose weight, and to be fit. I like the possibilities that it gives me, like going where I want without having to wait for buses or subway to go anywhere and see; see the sky, see the mountains, see the people, see life through the eyes of a tourist. My grandfather gave me the best bicycle and it is as if that simple thing took two different moments and joined them.
