An unusual chance

I studied in a private school, a very high class private school; The San Ignacio El Bosque school is an exlcusive education establishment in Providencia. If I have a good memory, at least a 80% of the teachers have postgraduate courses, including the jesuits priests, who studied 14 years to recieve the order. Inside, there are an olympic swimming pool, a real-grass soccer field with a athletic track around, an artificial-grass soccer pitch, 14 baby-soccer field (you can deduce that is a school only for boys, jeje) and an enourmus arena. Those are details that I can't avoid to make an auto-analysis of my high-school education. I think that I recieved a very sofisticated education. Just as well, because my parents paid a fortune.

My favorite subject were history and geography, the politics tendencies elective, literature, and of course, the football time. I still have contact with Carolina, the history teacher and with Guillermo, the teacher of Latinamerican Literature. This last one suggested me to study either Anthropology or Sociology. Firtsly I had intention to study Anthropology, but then, thinking and thinking I decided for the sociology.

I remember those conversations with Guillermo. We came to Plaza Ñuñoa at least 3 times to chat about my future, and eventually his future, because he is atheistic and that is a forbidden characteristic in a religious school, so he had problems with the superior priest and the school authorities.

With the tecnology I don't have much affinity. I only remember with happiness, the technologic evolution that my generation lived during the high-school. We were the generation that started presenting in card, then in diskette, years later in a cd and finally in a pendrive. I recall the pasion and dedication with my friends and I wrote in the cards, the subtlety with which pot glue in the newspaper clip...now with internet everything is easy, everithing is possible.
