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 school.

When I was in 4th senior, until to end my school process I don’t want to study anymore, I just want to look for any job, but my mom convince me to study and do the PSU test. Finally, after I receive my PSU score I decide to stand to many science careers (nurse, environmental chemistry, environmental biology and biology) and I found one called “food engineering” and I really like the idea to study food chemical process. I decide to stand at University of Chile because I supposed this university could be cheaper than others private universities and I will study for free with “ gratuidad” and that was what happens. That is how finally I decide to study my major. I don’t know if studying this I will find my dream job  but I hope.

The last photo is about my best fried Daniela and my in one science fair at my school. Currently Daniela is also studying Chemistry and Farmacy at the same faculty I am.

English 4, Post 1, 'A country you would like to visit'

Image
Hi everybody!  it’s been a while since my last post, but I’m back! Today  I will talk about which country I would like to travel. As many of you know I’m Chilean and I love my country and Latin-American too. One of my life goals it’s travel through all countries of America starting by Chile. Currently the country I would like to visit again is Peru. I went to Peru with my family in 8 or 10 times in the last 10 years.  I visit some cities like Tacna, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco, Ayacucho, Ica and Moquegua and I want to return as many the times as necessary to finally could say “ I know the entire Peru”. A picture of my brother and I in Cusco on July 2015 I think I am in love with Peru because my mom’s family are from Arica, near to Peru, and I in my memories I remember my family and I spending all my holydays traveling to Tacna and eating delicious Peruvian food. Other thinks that makes me love Peru it’s the culture, and the Andina cosmovision. Maybe I can’t travel to Peru in the next 4 years

  Hi! Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going write about English Language challenges. I like English before university I didn’t like it but I thinks that was because I feel too much pressure from my teachers that it generated   me a lot of anxiety and nerves to speak English or participate in their classes.   Now I’m older and I understand how important it is English for my future job, for learning about papers at university and for other things like to   enjoy a good movie in English. I would like to understand and speak well English but I’m steel bad at English, so I need to improve my English level. In a future I would like to study English in a responsible way and get my English certification. (a little story time: the last semester the university offered me to participate in a program to apply for a leadership scholarship at Harvard University called CELP, I passed all the stages except the last one, an AMCAT exam, it was in English and I didn't pass it and I was le
