Writing evaluation

The last two months have been one of the harder times in my life. The revolt occurred in Chile was something I wanted a lot so when I realized that people were protesting for better living conditions, I got really happy but then when the government repression came, I couldn’t believe what was happening. The violence broke my heart. I was updating my social media every minute and I only saw people killed by the police, a lot of disappearances and people being shoot in their eyes by the police.  So my emotions were not stable I had a few anxiety crisis during the first week, I remember I cried a lot and I couldn’t sleep because an helicopter with a huge light was over my house during the curfew. I also felt very nervous because of my younger brother because he was knock down by two motorcycles of the police while he was shitting down the tear gas.

Despite this I tried to participate in every protest and assembly that was near to me. In my neighborhood it was born the “Asamblea territorial 18 de Octubre” where I have been participating. Every week we go to march around the neighborhood and it has been doing cultural interventions that include kids. This is something I consider beautiful because before the revolt I didn’t know my neighbors and now there are a sense of community that remind us that this is not over and we are still fighting against the injustice.

In regard how things will continue now I hope we don’t give up, maybe we still don’t get what we demand but I can see how people are organized and how we are more critic about the government and that is something repression can’t take from us. We must continue together although I have a lot of mistrust in politics because I consider even the left  it failed in  how to answer correctly, I think and believe that will be the people in the streets who are going to make the powerful yield.
