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'

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 th...

  Hi! Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going write about my future job. Offf! I don’t have any idea about my future job, I would like to work on the area of quality or sensory evaluation. I like my future job could be on an important food industry like Nestlé or BredenMaster or Carozzi or maybe on an important supermarket like Walmart or the supermarkets of Cencosud. I would like my first job were here on Santiago the Chile, but for my futures works I would them were on the food industries at south of Chile and to be able to have the opportunity to know the country by working or even to be able to travel and know other countries by working.   I would like the job were indoors, I mean to work inside the industry.

The future is so unpredictable that I don't know what my job will be like i...

English 4, Post 8, 'English Language challenges'

  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 ...
