Hobbies...

Today I am going to tell you about my hobbies. The last semester I did not have too much free time so I couldn’t do too much sport that are my favorites hobbies. Since I was young, I always liked to do extra things especially sport. When I was little I did ballet and “danza moderna”, but when I was like eleven years old, I started practicing athletics and it has become one of my favorites sport and hobbies. I started practicing it at school with a lot of friends but when the years passed by my friends deserted on this activity, so in my secondary school I was the only one that still persisting. In my last secondary year I was not to rigorous with my training because of the PSU but last semester I did anything at all! So now I am trying to resume my training because I really like it and it is very good for me.
Athletic was not only good for my health, it teached me a lot of things like persevering. When I started doing this I was not a very talented person and sometimes that makes me feel disappointed, but I keep persevering and working hard, even If I was not very good, and there is a phrase that express perfectly my idea: all the work has fruits, so after work hard a lot of years my training started to make effect, and then I was not bad at athletic, actually I was very good. These teach me that I can do what ever I want, but I would have to be patient and work for it.
And other thing that I would like to recover is that I met a very important person that still being a very important to me and that is my coach. After all those years I really get to met her and be came very close and she has helped me with a lot of things and a found a person that it is so much more than just a coach is more like a friend.

holidays destinations

It’s kind of difficult to choose just one place where I have had a great time, because the last four years I had really enjoy all my vacations in different places, but if I have to pick just one I would choose Punta Cana in Dominic Republic.
I went to Punta Cana three years ago in winter vacations with a family’s friend so I could do everything with my friend. What I really like about this place was that you can do lot activities but you can also rest if you want to. The “Paradisus hotel” (where I staid) was “all inclusive” so you can have what ever you want to drink or eat, and it also includes different restaurants with food of different countries. In my stay in this country I did a lot of things like diving, walks, sail, sunbathing, go shopping, excursions, parting, swimming with sharks, go to a natural pool, etc. As you can see in Punta Cana you won’t get bored!
In my next summer holidays I would like to go out of Chile but I think that It would not be possible this year because I don’t have any money and It is a little late to plan something out of the country.
I think that this summer I would like to spend it with my friends and my family, because I have not seen them too much this years, so I’m planning to be with my parents one month and go to somewhere with my friends the other month.
I feel that vacations with my parents has to be more a relaxing and calm because I am going to be very tired at the end of the year, so I need a “recovering vacations” first and then a “party vacations” with my friends.
With my friends I like to rent a house in some nice beach where we can go to the beach and bathing in the sea, go to fairs, to make excursions, but it is very important that this place has to be good to party and to go clubbing. Taking these requirements I think that Viña del Mar would be an excellent option for summer holidays.
I hope that everything goes right this year so I can take long and beautiful holidays!
