Post 2: Why did I choose my major 

Well, as a child I always wanted to be a lot of things as a hair dress, veterinary, plastic surgeon and a ballet teacher. At the age of 4, my grandmother enrolled me in a ballet academy and that’s when I really got into the world of dance. From that time until today I dance.

When I was at school I spent most of my time on art or sport, went to painting courses, I was in a music group an I tried different stuff sports. I didn’t really enjoy studying, but the school was more demanding and I was beginning to have a less time (it was a very traditional school and nothing artistic). So I had choose what I wanted to do in my free time, I decided to dance. 

I never knew until almost two years before I left the school that dance could be studied as a career here in Chile, all the time I had in mind that I would go to study outside the country and then knowing that was the career in Chile I clearly focus on that. 

One of my frustrated dreams has always been to study kinesiology or nutrition, it’s something that interest me a lot and don’t totally rule it out of my life, because it’s a good complement to dance and movement. 

My experience in the University has been beautiful, I have changed a lot as a person and an artist, I see things very different from how I saw before, I have met wonderful people and teachers who have shaped the person who I’m now.

 Post 1: My Autobiography

Hello everyone, my name is Fernanda Wande López I'm 21 years old and I was born in Arica- Chile. When I was 4 years old, I went with my family to live at the other end of Chile, to the city of Puerto Natales. I lived there for two years, it was the best, I have many good memories of those two years. Unfortunately later we returned to Arica and it was there that I spent the rest of my life and always studying at the same school. The school where I studied was always the worst for me, it was a very traditional school that didn't accept me as an artist.

I have only one brother who is older than me, we were raised by our grandparents, because my mother had to work in another city and my father was still in Puerto Natales. Later we moved in with our mother.

I have been dancing since I was 3 years old, it began with classical ballet and as time by I got to know other styles such as contemporary dance and modern dance. I was at the Marcela Ramos Ballet School until 2017, with was in that year I finally left school and went to study dance at the University Of Chile, always knew what I wanted to study.

I really like to travel, I have traveled many countries in Europe and Latin America with my family. I really enjoy exercising, it's something that I practice daily and it's what I do most of my day. As I have also lately started practicing hand balancing, contortion and acrobatics, It's something that interests me a lot and I hope to be able to dedicate myself to that in the future.
