Chapter 2: Why I chose this career ❤

Hello everyone! I hope you are well with your families, with your friends or even if you are alone. Well, today I would like to tell you about a new topic in this blog, about my university career and what made me want to choose it.

It all starts with my childhood, since I was a little girl I always had a great attraction to the arts, music, dancing, acting... and in fact I dedicated a part of my life to each of them. I participated in my school choir when I was 7 years old, but I left it because I didn't like the songs we sang hahaha, shortly after I was part of a dance academy in my city, here we learned differents types of dance, salsa, tap, contemporary dance and ballet, this last one was my favorite💕. However I had to leave the academy after 2 years because my mom couldn't afford to pay for it and I didn't want to be a burden. As for acting, I dedicated only one year to it, during my third year of high school I joined the theater team of my school and I had the opportunity to participate in theater contests in other cities.

I always dreamed of being someone famous, especially a singer, but I grew up in an environment where dedicating yourself to this is for lazy people and where you won't get far. So I tried throughout my high school education to focus on what I was best at school, biology and chemistry. Since biology was more entertaining for me, I decided that I wanted to study medicine, because I could earn a good amount of money and it seemed interesting to learn how the human body works. But I had to be realistic and I knew that my anxiety and emotional instability would probably not allow me to have a good score in the PSU and enter to study this career, so i searched more similar options and among them I found biochemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry. It was these 3 careers to which I ended up applying in 2 different universities, the University of Chile and the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile

When I received the results of my PSU score I could see that this was not enough for medicine, however for some reason I was indifferent, I didn't feel anything, cause thinking about it, it was never what I wanted in my heart, because in reality I am not good at talking to people and my patience is almost nonexistent, qualities that a doctor obviously needs. Taking that into account I decided to study pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of Chile, a career for which my score was enough.

As you can imagine, that is what I'm currently studying, this is my second year of universityand I have only been to my faculty 2 times, all the rest of my classes have been online, this due to the pandemic that we are facing worldwide. To be honest it hasn't been easy, many times I thought about dropping out of university, giving up, but if I did that then who else would help me to get ahead? No one, because it's me and only me in this battle called life.

For when I finish my university studies I don't know if there is anything I want to do, but I do have a plan to be able to live decently. I plan to specialize in the area of cosmetic technology and over the years create my own line of cosmetics for skin care, and a line of makeup, why not? after all it's the most similar to art.

That's all I guess... I don't know if this pandemic will end someday, I don't know if in a few more years this world will still exist, but while we are alive that is what we are supposed to do, study and earn money... or maybe not, maybe we only have a few years left on this planet, in this life, and we lose the time with our head in a book instead of having it in the clouds.
