Why did i choose my major?

 I am an only child and when I was little I had no children around to play with, so I played alone with my toys.Since I was a little girl I liked animals and I played that I was the veterinarian of my stuffed animals, I also liked barbies and making clothes for them, at that time I dreamed of being a veterinarian or being a fashion designer when I grew up. 

As I grew up I wasn't sure what profession I wanted, but it had to be something related to biology and chemistry since they were the subjects I liked the most. 

I looked for science related careers and found biochemistry and it became my first choice as it had everything I liked, my second choice was veterinary medicine because my love for animals never left. When I applied to college I stayed in my first choice and was very happy.

Despite that I have only had online classes and not seeing my classmates in person I have, made several friends and even though the college experience has been very stressful I am not giving up because I am fulfilling my dream of being in college and in the career I love. 

In the future I would like to work in scientific research about diseases or something related to environmental care.

    I love animals too! I think biochemistry is a very interesting carrer, when I postulated for university I have no idea about that carrer , maybe I would be studying biochemistry too.

English 4, Post 7, 'Changes to my study programme'

 It has always been said that Chile has longer university careers compared to other countries, and that is due to the "common plan", in my opinion the common plan is a waste of time, you pass the same subject that was seen in the last years of school, I would like the common plan to be eliminated to move directly to the most interesting branches. Our faculty is quite old and that can be seen in the laboratories, the infrastructure is old and looks worn out, and although this does not affect the way of learning or the development of practical activities, visually it does not look good, the university is one of the most prestigious in the country, and I would really like to renew the laboratories of the faculty. The faculty makes good use of technology and especially in this pandemic, that is something that I really liked, in the laboratories there are very modern and crazy machines like in a movie. The way of teaching of most of the professors is very clear and precise, if you...

English 4, Post 5, 'My future job'

 In the future I would love to work in the research and development of vaccines or medicines, this work is never done outdoors because the research is done in a laboratory, so if you work in the area of research and development of medicines you will almost never see the sunlight, I like that because I hate the sun and the heat.  Although there are some branches of pharmaceutical companies in Chile, most probably if you want to get a job in this area you have to travel abroad, most are in USA and Europe, also if you want to be a researcher in any scientific area you will have to go abroad because here there are no such laboratories and Chile does not invest in science, so in short if you want to be a scientist you have to go abroad. Living abroad is an experience I want in my life. The truth is that I have no idea what the salary is for research and development of medicines or vaccines, but the approximate salary for a biochemist in Chile would be one million Chilean ...

English 4, Post 8 , 'English Language challenges'

 I have only had two English courses at university and I really enjoyed both of them, I loved the use of blogs, for me it was a lot of fun to write about some topics. I have always found it easier to write in English than to speak it, I can understand what people say to me, but I struggle to know what to say and how to respond, but they always say practice makes perfect, so I just need to practice the speaking part more to get better. My cousins were born in New Zealand, so they speak almost no Spanish, in order to talk to them I have to do it in English, I talk to them a couple of times a week and almost always by video call since they are little and don't have a cell phone yet, I still struggle to understand some words because they have English accents and I learned English with an American accent throughout my schooling. When I was in school I spoke more in English because besides having English classes I also had Chinese classes, all my Chinese teachers were from China so they ...
