Why did I choose Biochemistry?

Hello! That's a good question. I chose Biochemistry because I like learning new things and getting deeper  knowledge of chemistry and biology. Every time I can understand at a microscopic level a biological process, I wonder of how it perfectly works related to other processes. The idea of discovering just a little bit of how does God's complex creation works, it's exciting. Besides, I like to have the opportunity of take advantage of the knowledge that I already have or that one I will have, for society's benefit.
I saw all of that in the career, so that's why I chose it.

Now, How did I choose the career? That´s a little bit long story. I have already told you some details in the previous post but now I tell you more.
First of all, at 9th grade I moved to a school that prepares students for getting in university. Naturally, that became my objective during whole high school. The task was choosing what career I wanted to get in.
My first option was education, I loved to see how my classmates could understand what I taught them and see them do it better than I. But I changed my mind. I spend a lot of time without knowing what to do, but I wasn't worried about it. In the mean while I join to a science workshop, that made get interested in science world, and it started my like for chemistry and biology.
After that, I began to search for careers related to science, or something like that. Finishing 11th grade, I went to universities fairs for university applicants with a list of 14 different careers such as Phonoaudiology, Audio Engineering an Biochemistry. That experience made my list very shorter.
Asking for advice, talking with the Preuniversity Counserllor, visiting universities, researching about each career and praying a lot made my list reduce even more.
Finally, I have already give the PSU and two careers continue to be in my list: Molecular Biotechnology and Biochemistry. I went to speak with the Molecular Biotechnology Coordinator and I didn't like career's objective. Biochemistry seemed to be the one I was looking for but I wasn't sure yet. And also it still remain the question of which university choose.
The day I applied I called to a friend that studied Biochemistry at Universidad de Chile. That made me convince myself of choosing Biochemistry at Universidad de Chile.   

During vacations I doubt about the decision I made. Was it really God's will? Existing so many other options, Why not something else? 
I ask God about it and He showed me that He had a purpose with everything he has done in my life. So now I'm sure that I'm here with a purpose, and I can rest in that.

Changing ends

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.  Proverbs 28:13 New Living Translation  [source] Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well :D. Are you in the middle of evaluations? Come on! I now you can do it ;). Talking about that, evauations are very important because they show you the things that you have to change or improve. When this year started I share with you some issues that I had to improve to continue at university. Well, as much as I need to be evaluated, the university needs it too. What about changing roles for a while? Let's check in what aspects does the university need to improve. In this post I'm going to focus on five aspects. You can assign a score to each of them according to your perception. Perception                     ----- Score Satisfied                    ...

Postgraduate studies?

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today I am going to travel far in the future, as I did in my previous post. We are going to talk about a course that you would like to take when you finish your major degree. When I heard this I said "What?! Are you crazy? How am I going to talk about what I am going to do after I graduate if I'm not even close to gradute yet?" Anyway, I will try to look beyond that I have in front of my eyes and tell you what I would like to do. I'm just joking. I do use to look at the future but I question myself about if it is going to be as I imagine it. I'll tell you about that later. [SOURCE] Answering the question about what I would like to do when I finish my major degree I would say taking a Master in Biochemistry. I would consider taking this course in the future because it's objective is giving a high level background in Biochemical sciences and its aplications to professionals and university graduates. I ...

Summer holidays

[source] Hello every one! I hope you are doing well. Here we go again, we have just talked about the best vacations we have ever had. Now let's talk about what are we planning about the summer holidays that are coming soon, or at least that are getting closer. Along all my life I have always been waiting for vacations to go out to know some new place or to places that we already know to share with my family. For the first time in my life, this summer isn't the case. I'm not that motivated to know a new place, instead I would like to look for a part time job or something like that to earn some money. I would use that money to participate of some activities during the following year so my parents don't have to pay for the expenses of those things.  Although, I would like to go out some place with my family anyway because it is good to share some relaxation time together. Maybe we could go to El Quisco to visit my cousins and spend some time with my grandmother,...
