Postgraduate studies

Imagen
First of all, I would like to coment that on in this century it´s not enough studying a pregrade to get a good job and an acceptable salary.  Now I´m studying sociology in one of the most important universities of Chile. That makes me one of the fortunate ones in the country, but that´s the first step to me because I have big plans to the future.  That makes me feel a little anssious and a little scared, but I´m stubborn and I know that if I´m persistent I can make real my dreams.  As soon as I finish my undergraduate degree, I plan to continue my studies. If possible, do a doctorate directly. I am clear that to be able to access a job at the academy I need to have a good record. Although I have not yet determined which postgraduate degree I would like to do, one of my priority focuses is gender and inequality studies. I would like to get to do some assistantship in my career soon, because this is the entrance to the academic world in my opinion, so it is one of my short-...

My future job. A life dreamming

Imagen
My beginnings Since I was little I remember that I love science. In primary school I liked natural sciences, in fact, I used to go to the lab frecuently. But today I am on the path of social sciences. It's different, but I love it, because it makes me understand people's behavior. The unexpected decision Now, I came to this career after college, where I changed my mind: I went from wanting to study engineering to transfer to a career in Sociology. Since then I have been thinking about my future, I am in third year; after all, I have to think about those things. My ideal job after graduation is to stay in academia and be a great teacher. Apart from teaching I would like to investigate. I have always thought that the teacher's work is fundamental for human development. Once, in high school, I almost decided to study math pedagogy. But for many reasons I did not do that. Now I would love to be in a classroom and teach in the best possible way, care about those people and enjoy...

My favorite movie (s)

Imagen
First of all, I would like to say that I find it difficult to choose just one thing from any subject. I mean, that's why I have two favorite movies.  The first movie is "Fight Club" . It´s s a 1999 American satirical film based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The film was directed by David Fincher and starred Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonham Carter. I like this movie because I really love that plot twist where you see that some characters don't really exist, but they give the story some coherence. And I love the ending, in fact, thanks to this movie, I met the band "The pixies". The second is "Leon, the Professional" , a French crime drama film released in 1994.It was written and directed by Luc Besson and performed by Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman and Danny Aiello. I love this movie because it is as tough as real life. I also like the soundtrack. The quality of the cast is good and seeing the first performance of an actress l...

I´ve never been a concerts girl, in fact I don´t have many prefeer artist. But years ago I went to lolapalooza. That´s a really good story. When I was in school,  I participated in a recycling contest that promoted lotus producciones. we had to sign up (the price was $ 5000) and collect a certain amount of recycling Me and classmates won our entries to the festival.  The first day we had to collect as much recycling as possible to qualify for a prize, among which there was a trip to the snow  . But we also had to meet a minimum to be able to go the next day like any spectator. My best friend loved that artist and every kind of Djs or electronic musiccians. So he convenced me to go to Dj Snake´s show. He´s a famous french Dj, one of his singles is  "Turn Down for What".  The show was at movistar arena stage.  It´s a closed stage, so all the people, the darkness, the music so loud and led lights maked it a really good experience. We screamed and jumped every ...

2020 Vacations

First of all, i´d like to specify that I had the fortune to go on vacations last year, because I took them in January/February justa before Covid arrived to Chile.  That year was a little stressfull, because in 2019 I was leaving Bachillerato at the same time that the social explotion was unleashed. So I just finished I went on vacations. At first, I went on a trip with my parents to the south of Chile; we went to Valdivia. I´ve been there, but wen I was like 15 years old. So, we went in that adventure, because didn´t knew the place at all. Beeing there we visited a lot of places, like the Punucapa Island, where we tried cider; also, walked by the streets and the beautifull architecture. There was a lot of tasty food, like every kind of seafood. That trip last like two weeks.  But when I say I´m lucky, it´s becasue that wasn´t the only place that I visit. After we arrived in Santiago, about five days passed and we traveled to the beach "Los Vilos". In that trip I went with my...
