2004: After returning to Chile, I began to study Law at the University. During those years, I was an active participant in the student movement against government of Pinochet. I became a lawyer in 1988 and I worked on my own for a couple of years. Since 1991, soon of the return of Democracy, I have worked in different governmental organisms, such as the Service of Civil Registry and Identification, Ministry of Housing and Urbanism and Direction of Social Security. Currently, I work for an Institution in charge of defending poor people at Court.

On the other hand, I married, I separated and I have a beautiful 6 years old daughter.

Throughout these years, I have kept in touch with my host family, the Livingston and with some of my friends; besides, I have traveled to the USA in three occasions and I visited OHS once. I have always realized my year abroad has been one of the most valuable experiences I have had.

I'm sorry I won't be able to make it for the 25 years meeting in Oberlin, maybe next time. If some of you travels to Chile, let me know, and please, excuse my English, it's a long time without practice.
