My worst experience in a football stadium

This story is about my worst experience in a football stadium. This took place a few years ago, when I was 12 years old.

That day I went to National Stadium to see the team of my loves: Universidad de Chile. The team played against O’Higgins in a week day, therefore few people were going to attend.

However, that night 30 thousand people arrived to the stadium, but the problem was that only 20 tickets were sold, so there were 10 thousand people around the stadium who wanted to enter and I was one of them.

The situations became dangerous and the police didn´t know what to do. The fans were trying desperately to enter and the police were throwing water at us.

Suddenly a police car advanced towards an entrance of the stadium and broke it. The police were defeated and everyone took advantage of the moment and they entered.

After the fear that I felt, I saw the match quietly. My team lost 0-1. But after all I learnt that I must always go with a ticket to the stadium.

Sports Journalism in Chile

As I’m a journalism student, obviously I’m going to talk about journalism. But particularly I want to talk about sports journalism in Chile and the problem of approach that I think the media have.

In effect I believe that in Chile there is a problem because most media only talk about football in the sports section and the other sports are forgotten.

It seems that sports like handball, golf, volleyball or rugby don’t exist. But I’m sure that theses sports were shown in the media, people would see them. But the problem is that we are always shown the same.

Also this focus in football is only for men. If we make the exercise of to watch TV or to read the newspapers we can see that in general women are ignored. But fortunately in the last time the Chilean national women's team has appeared in the media, but I reiterate that only in football.

In the future, if I have the possibility of being a media editor, I would like to give emphasis to other sports and that women have more prominence.

THE BEST HOLIDAYS

I have not really had the opportunity to go to many concerts. But, on the contrary I am a very lucky person because I have had good holydays in my life. In effect I have travelled in some countries like Brazil and Argentina, but the best vacations were in Peru.

I went to Trujillo, a city in the north of Peru that has the largest clay city in the world and it was exciting. Also I went to Huanchaco beach and I ate a delicious typical meal.

But the true reason of my trip was because I went to know to meet my current girlfriend. Until that moment we only talked by chat and on that trip we met.

Well, going back to the holydays… I travelled alone in July 2016 with 18 years old recently and I endure a bus trip from Lima to Trujillo during 12 hours. But it was sacrifice that was rewarded.

After that trip I have travelled to Trujillo 3 times more and I have had the possibility of knowing many other places in Peru with my girlfriend. Really is a beautiful country.

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Honestly, I don´t have any country in particular that I would like to visit, because I want to go to many places in Europe. Maybe France, Germany, Spain or Netherlands could be some options. But if I had to choose just one country, I would choose England.

I only know a bit about England, I have heard some of its cities like London, Manchester and Liverpool because The Beatles were from there. But I don´t know anything else, so I think that it would was a good new experience.

I would separate my travel in two parts: in first place I would want to go to study English and when I improve my English I would study a short course relative to journalism.

And, in second place I want to visit England for its football stadiums. I love to see English football and one of my dreams is to travel for the world watching all the matches that I can.

I know that I need many money, but maybe in the future I can visit Europe and England. Hope is the last thing I lose.
