A family member or a relative

 Hello! Today I will talk to you about my younger sister, I have two brothers from my Mom, a 14 year old brother and our 11 year old younger sister, Eluney. He lives in Temuco with our brother, my mother and my stepfather. Since she was born I had the responsibility of taking care of her much of the time, her nickname since she was a baby is “Flea”, because she was always very small and with a strong character, we also call her “Luna” or “Elu” we basically do not look alike  in nothing, but psychologically yes, she never remains silent with her opinion, she is very mature for her age, she likes to have deep conversations, we tell her that she is “chora”, she is quite angry, she is very funny and always makes us laugh with what what he says or does, he really likes music and learns all the lyrics to the songs, he likes to put together small structures, paint, he is always doing some craft and spends a lot of time on social networks.

I haven't seen her for 3 months, since I left home 3 years ago she misses her a lot, it must be difficult for her that her older sister, who largely raised and took care of her is no longer here, now I see her about 4 times a anus. I always send him Tik Tok videos and memes on WhatsApp, and sometimes we talk on video calls. My mother tells me that I am her example to follow, she also wants to study design, but in fashion, she likes to dress in very big clothes and as much as possible as a “man”, she wears the clothes that no longer fit our brother, when she found out I started wearing boxers, she wanted too, a couple of years ago she told me that she is bisexual and I gave her an LGBT+ flag that she now has hanging in her room. I am excited to talk about her because she is my baby and I miss her a lot, I would like to be there for her at this stage of her life, especially when in a few years she enters adolescence. Every time I go to Temuco and arrive in the morning, I go to sleep with her to wake her up and we cook something sweet together for breakfast. I have always spoiled my brothers by cooking pastries and Eluney learned many of my recipes that she now makes alone.

Lenguague

 Learning another language besides Spanish has always been a challenge for me, my family is from the countryside and no one speaks fluent English. I don't have a good foundation of English, I don't even know what many animals are called and I never learned the verb to be, my teachers always taught me rules and memorizing words, a big problem because I have a bad memory. All my time at school I tried to just pass English and I didn't learn anything, my teachers weren't my nice ones either.

Before entering university I decided to learn as much as I could, finally it helps me to be able to work with foreign companies in the future, in English 1 I was with a very dynamic teacher who made us participate a lot, but English 2 I had with a teacher who I took classes with presentations and explained how at school, I became so disenchanted with English that I didn't take it again until this year, but during that time without English classes, I started watching more movies and series in English, as well as tiktok and memes, Now I can understand better when they speak to me in English and what I read. My biggest problem is writing it and especially speaking it, I can't generate a sentence at the moment. Blogging has helped me read more and write, although I'm not sure if it's okay how I write everything.

I know that it will take me many years to learn English well, I have thought that the best thing would be to go to a British country, although I am not interested in living in a country like that, I would like it for the experience and to learn.

A Job

 

In my short life I have had several jobs, opportunities came my way from the age of 14 and I took them. I started as a graphic designer for events and producer of youth events in Temuco, I loved that job, but I didn't like the weight of time and being known. At the age of 17 during a pandemic I began to design and analyze the programming of a video game. As soon as I turned 18 I was able to enter the best restaurant bar in Temuco as a waiter, later in a brewery and then a cocktail assistant, the second restaurant I worked in I was a waiter, cashier, cook and bartender (I knew how to prepare at least 10 types of drinks) . In addition to supporting myself as an independent designer, I now work as a graphic designer in two stores in Alameda.

I always wanted to learn more to be a professional bartender, after finishing university I want to take a bartender course, a co-worker taught me all the meaning and science of making drinks, the importance of media, the shake, the amount of ice, details that make a perfect drink. It is a skill that I would love to have, also learning the bartender show stunts that I have seen, like Daniela Istrate, a well-known barwoman on TikTok, works in the finest bars in the United States, with incredible skill both in preparing her drinks and in their shows. Here I leave you a video of her.

My interests in skills to learn or develop meet only one requirement, being able to do it anywhere in the world, and thus be able to travel and live wherever I want knowing that I can have a job anywhere.
