Who I am

  Hi everyone!

My name is Diego Oyarzun, i´m from Santiago, Chile, i recently lived in Pudahuel Sur, but we moved and I´m  living in Curacavi. I was born in May 8th 2001, and I'm 19 years old.

I have a brother and two sisters, my brother is the oldest and his name is Victor, then one of my sisters comes and her name is Nicole, I am the third and then is my younger sister Francisca, until a while ago we all lived together, which made us a large family because my older brothers already had childrens and partners, until we moved to Curacaví with my mother and Francisca and they all formed their families apart.

I used to live in Pudahuel until my last birthday with my family. In there I did my studies and friends, where we lived was relatively quiet although we were many in the house and we were practically a clan. My dad died of cancer when I was finishing 8th grade, he had cancer for the 3rd time in his life and the last time he could not do anything, I saw him deteriorate and lose consciousness of who we were until he ended up hospitalized, that experience changed us as a family and united us more than we thought, now my older brothers have their families formed and with my sister we stay less living with my mother.

I did my primary and secondary studies in the same scientific-humanist school in Pudahuel, called ¨Colegio Santiago de Pudahuel¨ it is not the most original name, but it was a good school. I had good grades and I was able to make a real friendship with some people that were my classmates all my life. I also participated in several extracurricular activities when I was in the high school, although I chose the scientific side, we participated in the book fair, they implemented the English festival the last two years, I was At the scientific fair that was held every year and thanks to it, in 2017 when I was in 3rd grade, we had to present ourselves at the ¨National Museum of Natural History¨ which is in the ¨Quinta normal¨ park for a project in pairs that we did on a natural pesticide that helped plants grow stronger without repercussions on their fruit, although we did not win, the experience of being there and presented the project in front of people I don´t know made me take away a little fear of presenting myself in front of others. Although I enjoyed all the scientific path that I had in school, it was not something that fulfilled me. I also liked to do artistic things, I drew and painted at home, besides that I spent all the time singing to my boyfriend, whose name is Alonso, which passed from being a hobby to a very ingrained habit, although I have never been to music or singing classes. Nowadays, I am studying architecture, which, despite how difficult it is to carry it, I loved it from the moment I stepped in the FAU. Now I am studying the 3rd year of the degree and despite the stumbles on the way, I am still standing and I hope I can finish it.
