Blogpost 1: My autobiography

Hi, my name is Florencia Gajardo. I was born on July 5, 2000 in Santiago, Chile. I have lived all my life in Curicó, a city that's a bit far from Santiago.

At 7 years old I started going to school, the Instituto San Martín, and I finished high school there at 18 years old.

Since I was little I really like to draw and at school I participated in many art contests and in different activities in other cities. I have very nice memories of school, but my last year was definitely the best.

I currently live with my mom, my sister, two cats, and a dog. I love my three pets very much, especially my cat Nala. We found her a year ago in a cardboard box in the middle of the street, someone left her there and we rescued her. My other cat is called Gato, I was not very creative with his name.

In my free time I like to cook and draw, sometimes I draw on my clothes. Lately I haven't had much time for that.

I am currently studying dentistry at the Universidad de Chile. At first, I wanted to study Medicine but my score at the PSU did not allow it. My backup plan was to study architecture, but I preferred to choose something closer to the health area. I'm honestly still not 100% sure if this is what I want to do with the rest of my life, but for now I like it.

Here's a picture of me when I was little and one of my drawings 😊
