A country I would like to visit

One of my favourite places in the world since I was a child is France. I remember I always watched on tv a lot of series of pictures wich showed places of France, a lot of drawings on tv like a dog or a racoon? (It doesn`t matter) with a red scarf and a black beret, wearing a black and white vest, so romantic and leading, all of this accompanied by music of accordion. I have always loved the romance, courtesy and the magic of the france people, their mysticism, their sensuousness, etc. Also I also like very much the film "Paris Je'taime" which shows some stories about love in Paris and it's very interesting and magic. I still believe Paris has all this charm. For the other way, I've always admired their artistic expressions, specially the mime arts. I'm mime and I've always admired and followed the creation and job of Marcel Marceau, the best exponent of mime arts. for this reason I would like to go to France to keep there for a long time to learn more about the incredible art of mime just right where its borned. I pretend to travel to France (or another country of Europe) to study mime and improve my artistic potential playing in the streets of Paris, creating characters, like a tramp or a mime-clown whose make the passer-by audience enraptured by his tenderness and spontaneity.

The first term

My first term was a terrible and nasty one. when I began the classes of this year, I had a lot of ilussions and hopes with the subjects, but along the term I was discovering that I was wrong. about some subjects I still believe it can be a social and educational contribution, in all the ways, as Educational and Community Psycologhy, but in the other hand know I really hate other subjects. However, the term also had a good points, like other activities I did. I began to work in Crearte, doing lessons of arts to children in social risk. In the lessons children could learn teathre, acrobatics, mime, dance, etc and all of them had a good time and learned to respect each other. I tought that was the best point of my first term in personal terms, because I want to work in something like this when I finish my carrer, for that reason I hope to continue working in this corporation. On the hole, I should say that my first term wasn't so horrible as I tought. Even tought I didn't like the subjects, there was a lot of challenges I had to face. I work with mime organization of Chile, and in the begginnig of this year we planned the thirst mime encounter in Casa Colorada Museum and I had to organizate it and also to act everyday during two weeks. it was very exciting, but also I was so exhausting.
In general, I would say that in relation to my artistic and professional interests this first term was so rewarding.
