 I have always liked working in groups. In school I used to share knowledge and now in college something similar happens. Therefore, I imagine myself working with many people, having to share every day with different positions and thoughts.  My ideal job is not office work, but I wouldn't mind working in an office if I enjoy my work. If I had a choice, I would like an outdoor job, but I don't see it possible in this area. When I finish college I would like to work for a while in public healthcare, which is very precarious in treatment and mental health professionals. After that I would like to work as a teacher at the university, hopefully for psychology or pedagogy students. Along with these jobs I would like to do courses or volunteer in other areas that I like, such as veterinary medicine or nail art.  My idea for now is to study and work here in Chile, maybe taking trips to study abroad but only for a short period of time. I am very attached to my family hahaha. Unfor...

    Hello everybody! Today I come to talk about my studies… I am currently studying the second year of psychology career at the University of Chile. During my high school I was finding out what careers I could study after leaving school and I always had in mind choosing between psychology and veterinary medicine ... I ended up choosing Psychology since the processes that occur in the minds of animals, especially humans, have always caught my attention. In this sense, in my life plans it is that at some point I would love be part of an organization as a volunteer to contribute to animal welfare. Unfortunately, the year I started studying, the pandemic began, causing a strong change in our lives. At first, I didn't like the idea of studying online at all, so I was sad for a couple of weeks. After interacting with my classmates a couple of times, my motivation returned. Studying psychology online is complicated, but not impossible. Fortunately for me it has not been d...

During the pandemic, we have experienced many changes to which we have had to adapt over time. Clearly an important problem that has been experienced worldwide is the death of many people caused by this virus, in addition to collapsed hospitals and people who do not have enough resources to live through this moment in a good way. Luckily, nothing terrible has happened to the people I love, but there is always fear. Because of that I have not had major personal problems, just a little anxiety and boredom. During confinement, I decided to learn how to make false nails and paint them in new ways. This practice has been very important in keeping me busy with something other than college. This pandemic has made us grow, we will come out of this confinement with fear, but also wanting to enjoy everything that we could not do for several months ... My plans after the pandemic is over are to get together with friends, family and colleagues!!! Besides this I would like to learn to dance “salsa”...

 It is difficult for me to choose the best vacations, since each one of them has enriched me in some way. But one of the vacations that I have enjoyed the most was the summer of 2018, I went on vacation with my family from Santiago to Lake Caburgua, located in the south of Chile. As is customary for as long as I can remember, in this place we met with all my maternal family to spend 15 days together. During these vacations I visited beautiful natural places, such as the “eyes of the Caburgua”, “El Salto del León”, Lake Caburgua, among several lagoons little intervened by humans. After this family trip I returned to my house in Santiago and with my boyfriend we went to Viña del Mar to see his grandparents. We enjoyed the beach, long conversations with his grandparents and very delicious food. These have been my best vacations since I appreciate the variety of landscapes that I visited, on one hand, the nature of the south of the country, with its diverse climate, going through heavy...

The country that I have always been interested in visiting is Ecuador, for its great variety of flora and fauna as well as the humid tropical climate which I love. To be honest, I am not very cultured about this country, some of the few things I know are that it is located in South America and that it has one of the greatest biodiversity in the world. Because of that, they take protect and take good care of nature. If I had the opportunity to go to Ecuador, I would visit the national parks and do all kinds of activities relating to nature. I would go to places with less human intervention to appreciate the fauna and flora in the most natural way possible. I couldn't say if I would like to live in Ecuador because I don't know how their system works around people's basic needs. For now I could not go to live abroad since I am very close to my family and friends and it would be difficult for me to separate from them.
