My experience before and during the University

Well, like the title say, Today we must to write about our mid-term  project which is a presentation whose my topic is "My experience before and during the University". I chose that topic because enter to the program and to the University that I wanted it mean my first  goal and my first big decision.

All started in 2013 when my sister, Carla, enter to the Universidad de Chile to the program “management control sistems”. I saw her like my role model, so I wanted to study the same program, but one day I saw her cry because she doesn’t understand maths. So I consider twice if I really wanted enter to the program, so I started to search another programs which it doesn’t have many subjects with maths and I find “Public Administration”.

After that I prepare myself to make my dreams come true. I register on Cpech to prepare the PSU and have good results to enter to the program. There I met my History teacher who inspire to superpass myself in everything, until nowadays.

The day when the results of the postulations are available I was so calm! something in me knows already that I going to enter to the program without any problems. And that was happened.

Since I enter to the university, everything was so cool and good. I met my classmates whose it convert in my friends,  they always have the disposition to bring me their aid any time I need help.

Every day that I spend  in this program I realise that this is what I always wanted. In the future I will remember this experience like the most important in my life because it delivered to me the learning and work tools to confront the reality

The technology as part of my life

Hi! Today I'm going to talk about my favourite piece of technology

Actually I have 2 favourites pieces of technology. The first one is my phone. It is a Motorola moto g, my mum bought it to me for my last birthday. At the beginning I was a little bit mad because my last phone was fine! It still worked well. But in the nexts days I was gratefull to have my new phone, It run so fast, I could use many apps at the same time . I use it for everything, to communicate through Whatsapp and facebook, to share, see, comment photos in Instagram (I spend a lot time in Instagram!), like an alarm clock and even like a GPS.

I use my phone every time that I can, and if it has low battery I have a portable charger, so I can use it over and over again. I like it because it is useful for many things, and like I said before, it’s a good way to keep the communication with my family and friends.

Maybe this could be weird to read, but I can’t imagine my life without it, it is a part of me, maybe like another brain or something like that.

The other piece of technology that I use a lot is my tablet. I use it to play plants vs zombies, see Instagram, facebook, videos, etc. And sometimes I used it to study, but I study on my computer more than in the tablet.

My first big decision!

During my childhood I had many dream jobs, for example I wanted to be an english teacher because I love the subject, only for that reason. In the High school I want to study Bussines Administration like my sister, but I didn't like maths! So I started to think about my hapiness and my quality of life and I realised that I wouldn't enjoy my job if I had studied that career, so I searched a similar career in the Universidad de Chile and I found Public Administration. In the beggining I didn't know nothing about the career but while I was reading the description of the program I started to love it because that has everything that I wanted to be and do, I mean, to help people with their troubles, make the country a better place to live and solve many injustices of the society.

When I started the program the last year I was very nervious to meet my new classmates, teachers and know about every subjects. I have a great experience in the university until now, I has met a lot nice people who are my friends here, they make me laugh a lot. 

At the beginning I want to work in a city hall, but I know that it could be difficult. I'll like to give classes in the program too! 

A little biography about me :D

I have many hobbies, for example, my favourite hobbie is sleep, I sleep a lot, basically it is my medicine for everything. If I'm boring/sad/tired/upset/mad I take a blanket and I lean in the couch or in my bed until the alarm clock start to sound. I usually play Plants vs Zombies, I spend a lot of time on this game, In the summer I played a lot Diablo 2 and Age of Empires II, I played these games during my childhood so I have a type of care with them .
