Why did I choose my major?

Well, that’s me in my first day at university, I was terrified because I thought they were going to “mechonearme”. I don’t look happy in that photo, but I swear that day was one of the best day ever at university. I thinks I always like science, I remember since I was a child I really likes to “explore” the nature, to do “perfumes” with any material that I could find in my yard and asking to myself how the plants and flowers grow. When I was a child, maybe when I was 10 years old, I dream to grow up and be a doctor or a nurse. When I was 14 years old, I realize I didn’t had the best marks to study medicine. When I was 15 years old my family fall into an economic crisis and all my energy to be a professional and go to university disappear, with my brother we start working at many things to helps our parents. My school help us, and they let we work on a store library for 4 years at vacations (December to March). With this work my parents could pay some debts and I could graduate at schoo

Hi! My name is Gabriela Galvez, I am from La Florida, Santiago of Chile. I am 20 years old; I am studying Food Engineering at University of Chile. I live with my mom and my brother (I have a dad, but I don't consider him part of my family). I could say I am a shy person (I guess?), I like and hate chocolate, I love dogs I have 4 dachshunds (sausage dogs) and his names are: Abigail, Murcielaga, Darko and Ralph. The first photo was taken in Chena's hill in 2018, of right to left, I am the second one, my brother is the third one and my mom the last one. The last photo is about my dogs💖.

  (Yes, I made this image by myself) As you can see on this image that is my reaccion when someone asking me something in English. You would asking you, why she feels petrified? The answer is:  I don't like like English, I don't understand too much of English, my vocabulary is poor and my grammar is bad. So all of that makes me feel terrified when I dont'n know how to reply in english. Maybe for other people that knows me, that fact means for them as an joke because my parentes spend all his money in a school with good levels of english. Much of my school classmates speak well English but I thinkg I am the exeption. ( I think I had been trying to "learn" English for 12 years, but I don't think that be enough time 😓) Maybe the reason why I dont' like English would be I never practice with none, my parents dont'n speak English and I allways was a shy child so I don't had friends to practice and feel confident when I had to speak in english.
