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.

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 ...

Two photographs I like

Hello everyone! I hope you are having an excelent test period, and if you are not, I hope you have the willingness and calm to lern about the things you fail, understanding that you are in a growth process. This time I'm going to share with you some photos that are special for me and I really like. At the end, I want you to make a meditation about what they represent for you. "Rayitos de Sol" This was the second photograph I took with my cellphone about two years ago. It shows some summer flowers in my father's house garden and three apiaries behind. I like this photo because the colors are really beautiful and well defined. You can clearly see each flower separately. Most of all, I like this photo because it reminds me home, my dad (he loves bees), summer and vacations. "Family beside the lighthouse" My dad took this picture of our family, maybe you can see him holding a remote control with his left hand. From left to right, my father, his w...

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 ...
