My favorite artist: Gilda

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.

    I didn't know that "No me arrepiento de este amor" and "Paisaje" was sung by her, those songs are really good

    The nostalgia hits different when an artist you like a lot died even before one was born

    Cool! I didn´t know her and just now learned that Vicentico song belonged to her, I want to get to know cumbia better because I think it is a musical style that has not been taken very seriously, regardless of having great performers.
    Thanks Alice!

My favorite piece of technology !

One of my daily hobbies is listening to music. When I was a kid, I had an MP3 player on which I listened to pop music, but when I turned thirteen I got my first phone. Before Spotify existed, I would download all my favorite songs onto it. I would get really frustrated when I didn't have any more space to store the songs.  On my phone I can also do other activities, like taking pictures, or watching series. I also order my academic responsibilities on it ! If I were to think about what my life would be like without a cell phone, it would definitely be too boring. I wouldn't be able to distract myself or be responsible with my homework.

Why I choose to study sociology?

Imagen
Hello ! I have to confess that I'm not a such big fan of the humanities. In my childhood I was a big fan of biology and chemistry. Even in high school I was a student who belonged to the science class. I wanted to be a marine biology, because I love animals so much. But everything has changed the time I turn 16 when I started to be an activist from the LGBTQ rights in my school. I met some feminist friends who taught me a lot of philosophy and history. That's how I discovered some careers that I'm interested, like Anthropology or Psychology. But I decided to study Sociology. By far, My experience at the university has been good. I made friends who are passionate about the career and we studied together. I love learning new theories about the society ! In the future, I would like to work in an ONG specialized in protecting the rights of trans children and adolescents in the country, like OTD or Amanda Jofré.

My favorite photo

 First of all, my favorite photo is not of a place. This photograph is many years old. I was still a little girl between 3 or 4 years old.  The people next to me are my grandparents, Ana and Eduardo. My mom took the picture on a winter morning, they were testing my grandmother's new camera.  It's my favorite picture because I'm with the two people I love the most. They have raised me, from the time I attended kindergarten until I graduated from high school. My grandmother, Ana, taught me English when I was 6 years old. I learned how to pronounce some colors, how to say hello and how to ask permission to go to the bathroom. She certainly knew a lot!
