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.

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,...

Our targets

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.  Galatians 6:9 New Living Translation (NLT) source Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Every time we start doing something it is important where we want to get with that. Tha gives us motivation and purpose. That helps us keep on efforting for our target when we are already tired or gives us a new impulse  when we remember it. Starting a carrer isn't exempt of that rule. In my case, I'm studying a major in Biochemistry because it is a carrer that could reach me out to understand better how living organisms work chemically. My drives are that I could work reaserching about living organisms that could revert enviormental problems, making science workshops at school and maybe classes. In the first situation I imagine it with a lot of work in contaminated and clean places, a lot of time in the laboratory and also looking for ...

Music in my life

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great long holiday weekend. In this post I'm going to share with you about a topic that I have already mentioned in my last post: music in my life. I have always liked music. I growth listening to Los Jaivas, Napalé, Bee Gees, Queen, Peter Gabriel and others. I liked to hear how different voices and instruments sound so good together and try to identify which instruments were being played along each song.  When I was at 2th grade, I had some piano lessons, but I give up on them because I wasn't willing to change my playing time for practice time. Now I regret for that decision. Later, I started learning to play the guitar at school and I liked it a lot but I didn't expected that I would receive a guitar in my birthday that summer. It was a beautiful gift and this time I was going to seize it. [draw by Esperanza Vera] But, I had to make a decision. I was going to play the guitar only as a hobby?  In the mean while I dicovered th...
