The truth is that there are no people that I admire or that I idolize, but as the teacher says, there are people that I respect very much for what they have done in their careers. One of those people is my saxophone teacher Miguel Villafruela is an eminence in classical saxophone in Latin America and especially in Chile. He founded the saxophone chairs at the Universidad de Chile and the Universidad catolica de Chile, being a promoter of the classical saxophone in this country. He has played and taught in countless theaters and countries. Thanks to this person I have grown a lot as an instrumentalist and he has been a great example to follow. One of the things that I most appreciated about his teaching was to have a study routine and to be constant.

I remember that day my dog was running very fast, he looked like he was crazy. I also remember that we played with a ball and he never wanted to give it back. I also remember that later with my brothers we got wet with the garden hose and that we laughed a lot. It was a great day. The truth is that I found this picture very recently and I had forgotten that day, when I saw it it brought back all the memories and nice emotions and for that reason it has become a very precious picture for me, now it is in a picture in my room and I feel my brothers a little closer (they no longer live with me and my parents).
