My name is María Jesús. I was born in Santiago of Chile in September 17 of 1997, my mother studied to be a nurse and my father is a commercial pilot, so when i was a child i spend a lot of time with my grandparents. I have a sister who’s two years older than me, and also have a dog that’s called Clemente and i love him so much, my mother says he is my brother too. I studied all my scholar time at the school "Pedro de Valdivia", and then i entered to the "Universidad de Chile" and study psychology. Since last year, i started to practice mountaineering, so i go to the mountain almost every weekend, and in the week i train climbing in "Facultad de economía y negocios" and go swimming in the sports center of the university.
