My Hobbies Hello everybody! Today I will talk to you about my hobbies. First, I will talk about a hobby that I used to have when I was in elementary school, that times I usually played acoustic guitar, I really enjoyed it because I shared with older students and we had very good times because we played many songs and we also told a lot of jokes, I stopped going when I went to high school, I didn’t school but I didn’t have time to do it, so I think I forgot a bit how to play the guitar. A few years ago I started running, at first I could only run one or two kilometers, but now I can run ten or eleven kilometers; this activity has helped me a lot to lower (a lot haha) of weight and also to clear my mind of the stress of the week, but in the period of classes in the college I have not been able to do it, because I prefer to run in my house (in the country), where there are less cars and everything is quieter, than in Santiago where there are many cars and traffic light...

My Favorite Picture This is my favorite picture is one of the most famous picture of all time and declared one of the greatest sports pictures. It was taken by Neil Leifer in 1965 during the fight between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, basically it shows the moment when Liston falls knocked out by a “phantom punch” and Ali stands over him bragging his victory. It’s my favorite because I am a great admirer of muhammad ali, both for his sporting career and for what he meant outside the ring as a great activist for the civil rights of the African-American community, as well as his rejection of war and admission to the armed forces, that he lost his best years as a boxer in 1966, when he refused recruitment to go to the Vietnam War, claiming that "I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong… No Viet Cong ever called me nigger". See you the next time!!
