The most important factor that convinced me to study sociology is my identity. As a trans person, I think it is important that our experiences should be studied from a social perspective and that we should be considered as part of historical development. Latin American authors (such as Leonor Silvestri) argue that one of society's strongest tools of control is gender. That's why my dream of graduating in sociology is to be able to complement my studies with a postgraduate degree in gender.  For now, my preferences for further studies are the University of Bath (in the UK), the Lund University (in Sweden) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (in Spain). I hope to be able to achieve my goal and continue learning!

When I think back to my childhood, I think of those afternoons with my mom listening to the music she loved. That's when I met Gilda. She was a very famous Argentine cumbia singer in the 90s. She was very loved in Latin America, she has very famous songs, such as "No me arrepiento de este amor" (which was also performed by the Argentine band "Attaque 77") or "Paisaje", performed by "Vicentico", who is also an Argentine singer. I like her music so much because her melody is very cheerful, plus she had an angelic voice. She was also very kind to her fans, she let them on stage at her concerts and hugged everyone. Sadly, she passed away in 1996 due to a car accident, but her legacy will live on, at least in me.
