This friday the 14th started a new edition of the Amican's Cup (men's soccer tournament) and Chilean national team is preparing for de competition. Chile, after have won the cup twice and become in the bi-champions of America, the players want to celebrate for third time. The favorites teams for win the cup are Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, because historically they are the most winning teams and they also have better quality players. I personally want Chile to win, because we have something they don't have, team play, this is what characterizes us and why we have come so far. But also we have important individualities like Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez, they are international level players (the first plays in Football Club Barcelona, Spain, and the second plays in Manchester United Football Club, United Kingdom). So, America and the world of football are ready for another tournament of the highest competition, and everyone is waiting to know who wins. 

This photo maybe isn't meaningful so much, but it have a curious story behind. In the picture appear my two brothers, me and "Negrita",it was our dog for six mounth, we found it one day in a nearby square, it was lost and hungry, so we decided help it and we took it home until his owner showed up. We waited so much, but nobody appeared. Then another problem arose, where will the dog stay? We couldn't keep it, because we had two cats and there wasn't space for a third pet. During six mounth we looked for someone who wanted a dog until one day our aunt agreed to take care of it. "Negrita" was our pet for a short time but we took a lot of love, I remember that it broke anything, it was always very hyperactive, whatever we loved so much. The picture is from the last day it was with us in our house. 

This weekend is the "chilean´s football superclassic", where clash The social and sport club Colo-Colo versus football club Universidad de Chile in a exciting match. As Colo-Colo's fanatic I´m very beholder for it. I would have liked go to National Stadium and I can see the show life, but I don´t have time and I prefer when they plays on Monumental Stadium. This match bring to me remember when my grandfather, my brothers and I watched them on tv 4 years ago. I remember once time a very good game, both teams tied and Felipe Flores (Colo-Colo´s football player) scored a goal in the ultimate minute, we were very happy. I like so much the football and I want to be a great game and I hope Colo-Colo wins, obviously.

When I was 8 maybe 9, my favorite piece of technology was the computer because I could play games as "Pac-man","Counter Strike" or "Bomb It", I was very little. Some years later I'm interested in Play Station, with it I played "Pro Evolution Soccer", "Grand Theft Auto", etc. I never was very fan of this things but sometimes entertained me. Today I admit that my favorite piece of technology is the smartphone, I use it all the time, in my trip to home when I listen music, when I'm taking a shower too, when I'm waiting anything, etc. I use most is social network as Instagram, Whatsapp and YouTube, Its keep me informed about world´s news and also Its keep me communicated with the people I want. Honestly I can´t imagine a world without my cellphone.

When I was a child I didn't know I wanted to do when I become in adult, I just thought about playing. In 2007 my parents registered me in a football's school where learned very much about sport, here I knew that I wanting was football player professional. I had this dream until 2013 probably, later understanded that it wasn't mine. In this same year, I started to focus in the school. I didn't interesting anything, but I knew that should have something, this is Architecture. It wasn´t dificult decide, and until the moment I don't regret it. It is been hard, nights without sleep, evenings without eat and this kind of things. In the future, I want be a good architect, and devote myself to projecting football stadiums.

Hello! I'm Benjamin Torres. I was born on April 26, 2000 Santiago, Chile. This means that I'm a chilean's eighteen years old. I have lived with my parents and my two brothers since ever, I´m the oldest my brothers. I started my student´s age in 2006, I was six years old and I was attending my first years of school in San Pedro School, one year later, my parents change me to Palmares School, where I met to two of my best friends. In 2013 my parents decided change me school again, now to Salesianos Alameda School, I was there until my graduate in 2017. So in 2018 started a new phase in my life, the university life. I entered to study architecture, so I had to stop doing things I like, as practice football each weekend, go to parties with friends, and so much other things. Today I´m in second year of architecture with a little bit more time for my hobbies.
