Because I chose biochemistry as my career

 

Hi, I'll start with the story of why I chose to study biochemistry.

Since I was little I liked medicine, I have always been very curious, I like to explore and since I have been living in the countryside I always explore places, animals, land, water, etc.

I always like to know the why of everything. When I was a child I was questioning everything that was around me hahahah, sometimes the adults did not like that, but I did not realize it, I was very observant with everything and everyone. When I was growing up my mother got sick with cancer, she just wanted to cure it and from there it was born as the idea of studying medicine or something related to that.

When I was in high school I wanted to study medicine until I learned about biochemistry on a trip to the university on the border of Temuco (UFRO), there I met the laboratories and people who were studying biochemistry, I asked many questions and they let me touch everything that was in the laboratory, from there I knew that I wanted to work in that place, a place where I could do everything to investigate everything without disturbing anyone, since it is a place where you can work alone or with people who are just as interested as you.

Well, from that moment it stayed in my head and when I reached the fourth grade where I had to apply for, a profesor helped me to enter with a scholarship to the University of Chile, which for the southerners is the maximum hahah, and I applied for 10 research careers in this university, but my first choice was always biochemistry, and luckily I got into.

My experience at the university has been very crazy, as I said in my previous blog, since a lot of health things happened to me in my first year and things also happened in the country and then in the whole world. So I can't speak much about my university experience, despite of that I was able to be in the labs and I really loved them and that increased my desire to continue studying this and not give up due to adversity.



I know that this is what I want for my adult life, to be locked in a laboratory investigating everything that comes to my mind, although I love the clinical side of biochemistry, I am very curious about humans and their environment.

    Hi fer, I really liked your story. Like you, since I was little I have been curious and I wondered all the time what everything around me was. Unlike you, I don't like biology that much, but I do like chemistry and I guess you do too.

The impact of my studies

 Hello again, do you remember that I am studying biochemistry? Today I will talk about the impact of this on the world. My career is about all kinds of science, so we can make the world a better place in many ways, from culture to necessary experiments and contribute to them so that we can continue to live on this planet. For example, in popular science we can help people to know more about chemistry, I have always heard that chemicals are "bad", but since I am studying biochemistry I learned and realized that they are not, but that the amount of chemical is good or toxic. We can also create ideas that help the environment, such as recycling, we can create new ideas on how to recycle and help us fight pollution in the world and give our planet more years of life.                                                        Examples:      Since I was a child I see myself contributing to all this, doing experiments that help me find cures for diseases, help the planet and help people

Summer holidays.

Today I will talk about my vacations, normally I always work in the summers, I live in Villarrica in the summers and we all work because tourists arrive and it is the best time to work and raise money, January is one of the best months, the city fills up and there are many customers buying. I usually work at a fair where I sell jams, I work from 6:00 pm to 00:00, I like this schedule since in the morning I can go to the beach, eat out, sleep late and get ready to go to work I like it because also at that time the sun is not so strong and it is not very hot. If one day they visit Villarrica in January, I will be there to serve them hahahah. February is different, since it is the only whole month of vacation for my mother, so I only work sometimes, and I take time to go out and be with her, we are adventurous and until winter we go to the beach, to the snow what Hahahah, but the months of February are clearly for the family and the preparations for then in March to return to Santiago and

My opinion about english

Imagen
 The truth is that English has never been my favorite subject, but I have always wanted to learn because it is a very important language in my career and in life, but, actually, I don't know why it has always been so difficult for me. Since I was a little girl, I have fought with all my English teachers, because they did not know how to teach to those who cost us the most. Sometimes I learn but if I stop practicing for two weeks I forget all of it, hahaha, I don't know what happens to me with English because it doesn't fit in my head. But it has always been one of my dreams can speak it well, to be able to travel and communicate with people who only speak that language.
