Something about myself

I have to talk about myself, that's a little bit difficult but anyway here I go. First of all my name is Magdalena Rivera I am 20 years old and I was born here in Santiago De Chile. I live with my mom, my brother and my cat in a very nice apartment in Providencia. Well my life isn't very interesting, actually it's pretty normal.

I went to Trewhela's school during 12 years and there I met a lot of my friends. At the age of 18 I decided to study anthropology because I was good at social science and I didn't know what else to do, in fact I was totally lost about what to study but well here I am.

Studying here has been a great experience because I've met a lot of people who are really special for me, in fact some of them have become my best friends. I suppose this happened because we have a lot in common, we always have fun together and we support each other in academic and personal issues. I've also learned a lot about human beings, different cultures, societies, ways of thinking etc. Things that are really important because learning about them, helps to open your mind and to have more respect for different cultural expressions.

Well apart from the academic part I play football since last year and I also like to do macrame in my free time because it relaxed me and I think its important to explore the artistic side of us.
