My Autobiography

Hello to you all!

My pets Leon and Juanchita

My name is Karina Castillo and this is my first blog post about me Well, I was born in Santiago on January 31, 2000, and since then I have lived all my life in Padre Hurtado which is a small town where there are few people, but it’s very nice and cozy.

 My family consists of my parents, Patricia and Luis, my older brother Edward, my older sister Catherinne, my younger sister Sofia and me. Currently I live with my parents, my little sister and my two pets: my dog Leon and my hamster Juanchita. 

When I was a kid, I loved going to school, doing homework and having fun with my friends. During all my schooling I always studied in the same school, it was a professional technical school where I graduated as an accounting technician.

After graduating from school I started doing my internship in a supermarket, where I did accounting and also worked as a cashier. After finishing my internship, I continued to work in the same place for two years.

I always liked math and numbers, I really liked being in a school where I could study accounting and also get a degree, but finally I thought how boring it would be to spend a lot of time in a closed office calculating things or dressing formally every day. At that moment I realized that my real desire was to study something related to health or maybe animals, so I decided to study veterinary medicine, even though a year earlier I studied Phonoaudiology at the University of Chile.

My boyfriend Matias and me

When I was 9 years old, I met the boy who in a future would be my boyfriend, we were only classmates until he declared his love to me when I was 14 years old.  Since then we've been boyfriends and, of course, best friends! She is my soul mate, my partner, my dance partner and obviously, she is my favorite person in the world and has given me the best 5 years I could ever ask of life.

This is me at a dance festival

In my free time, I like to watch movies and do series marathons on netflix, I also like to listen to music or go out with my boyfriend, but above all, I love to dance, since I was little I love dance and the way I express myself through it. For many years, every year I present myself at a summer festival that takes place in the place where I live, which makes me very happy.
