Today I'm going to talk about my life changes since I was a children of 5 years old.
When I was five, I was a very shy boy but with a lot of energy (hyperactive). I used to return home from school at 18 hrs. so the most part of my daily life transcurred in school. There I used to do Artistical skating and hokey, draw and play games like hide-and-seek, "Pinta", looking after bugs, etc. When I was eight, my parents changed me to another school. In this school I couldn't train any more artistical skating nor hokey, so I Just kept drawing and have more time to play in my house, because I returned home earlier than in my ex-school. In my house I used to play a lot (a LOT) with my dogs-partners (I don't like to call the animals for pets). I had 2 dogs: Tatán and Ajax, that year I lost Tatán (he died cause of his age) and it was the death that I most cried in all my life. In the same year (1998) I Started to play the guitar, I spent almost all of my freetime with the guitar (after the Tatán's death), when not, I used to play a lot with my sister Natalia, Ajax and my new dog-friend: Marte.
The years were passing (I don't mind to make a post too extensive) and when I was 14 I started in the secondary. In the Secondary I kept being very shy but not too hyperactive: now I was joker: I Love Jokes! so I didn't pay to much attention in classroom, I was ever talking and joking with my friends, anyway, my marks wasn't too bad, even more, I think I had very good marks and I used to be the "best student" in the secondary. When I was 16 I begun to care about politic matters (even before the "Penguin revolution") and since this moment, I started thinking by my own. I changed my way of life, my philosophy of life, my goals and all these, several times.
I was a very good guitarist, much more than today. I was the "schools guitarist" and I used to play the guitar solo in many events like "Students day", graduations and my own graduation! it was unforgettable!
When I joined the "U", I was a very political person and I turned all my new learnings around the politics and I leaved the guitar a little. I started to be every day less shy but I kept my enjoys for jokes.
Today I'm father, I have an wonderful boy named Lautaro, I share a lot with my loved Girlfriend, Cony and I have too much to do and less answers than in any moment of my life. Ajax and Marte didn't still beside me but I have other animals as friends, I'll remember all of them for the rest of my life.

My Last Field trip
The Last Field trip I did was in "El Cajón del Maipo" for the subject "Land Use Planning" with the teacher Miguel Contreras. It was about different topics in the municipality of "San José de Maipo", such as minery, turism, services, connectivity and so on. The group of mine (integrated by Carlos, Fabián and me) researched the topic of "Settlement, services and commerce" in the commune of San José de Maipo.
Fabián and me carried our bikes to SJM (San josé de Maipo) to ride quickly along the commune. We divided the commune in transepts to research it, my transept was the highest one, near to "Baños Morales". I had to research in the localities of San Gabriel, Romeral and Boyenar. I started in San Gabriel (the bus let me there with my bike), and then I went to Romeral. It was very steep and hard to ride but finally I arrived Romeral. From Romeral I rode down to Boyenar, passing again across San Gabriel. In Boyenar I suggested myself to go to the main locality: San José de Maipo. So, I Rode across the localities of "El Ingenio", "San Alfonso", "Melocotón", "El Toyo", "San José Alto" and finally San José the Maipo. The sun was very hot and I didn't used sun-block, so, I got insolated badly. My friend Carlos was in "El manzano" and again I rode in my bike from SJM to El Manzano, passing "Los Maitenes" and "El Guayacan". At the end of the fieldtrip I felt the Insolation very hard and I felt very, very, very tired: Going down in the mountain range isn't only let down by gravity, you have to climb and pedal a lot.

"People who are rich are happier than poor people"
I think that people that are rich aren't happier than poor people, but to talk about this we need to talk before about happiness.
There are many ways to define happiness, most common are clichés like "Happiness is a grade of Love and interior peace", "Happiness is be optimist", "Is to be in law with your soul" and so on. For this post, I'm gonna talk about happiness understanding it as a "Condition of Satisfaction" and this Satisfaction means a feeling of joy.
If we say that happiness is about satisfaction, then we can relate it to "NEED": we talk of "Satisfied needs". In this Way, happiness is a very, very, VERY cultural subject, because culture give us our needs. There aren't the same needs of a Tibetan than the need of a "Sopaipilla boy", or a Chinese, or a French, or a politic, an economist, one person or another. In the cultural way, we would say "yes, the rich people has a LOT of money to SATISFY their needs" but in contrast they have several kinds of need, and they can (almost) only solve their material needs (Those who requires money). So it's common to see sad rich people because of their greed and ambition (infinite needs) and lifeStyle, shallow of friends, nature, generosity, and kindness and so on. Opposite this, in the same cultural way, we can say that poor people haven’t enough money to solve their material needs, but they are more satisfied because they haven’t the rich's need. Even more, they are happier because they have -many times- family, friends and so on.
Actually, our culture is changing to conceive the happiness only as a material satisfaction, to set our needs and goals only as materials, perturbing our diverse spiritual, emotional and natural needs. If poor people will have (and is having) only material goals and needs, but they doesn't have the money to solve it, I'm sure that the poor people, some day, may be sadder than rich people, but angrier enough to change the things again.
