#ChileAwoke

Since I was little I have been impressed by the inequality that exists in the country, although when I was a child I did not understand it very much, over the years I understood that these inequalities were extreme and unfair. When Chile woke up on October 18 I started having feelings like anxiety, fear, uncertainty because I was far from home, but at night when I arrived in my neighborhood and saw all my neighbors along the street with spoons and pans on their hands making noise and shouting I felt joy and pride, cause they were all shouting what they had been silent for so many years.

As the hours passed I realized how great the movement was all across the country. I was shocked when the military went out on the streets, I never thought that I would live a curfew as in dictatorship, I had only seen it on the History of the country, when this happened, I felt very angry and angry. I wanted to go out to protest myself in the streets, but my mother was very scared and I could not leave her alone, then I understood that she was reliving traumatic events, I felt very sorry because I could not Do anything to stop the helicopter flying upon our houses at night or for the military to leave the streets.

Now that time has passed since the outbreak, I look with joy and pride at how people have organized and come together everywhere. Here in my neighborhood we have made many assemblies and protests, we have educated ourselves and keep united, we have learned together. I believe that the movement will continue until the government give us true solutions. The neighbors will continue the manifestations and will never forget what has happened, the deaths, the human rights violations and we will ask for judgment and punishment to the responsibles because people do not forget. We are together and we will never let go.
