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

Hi! my Name is Catalina Peña, I was born in 1997 in Santiago. I have 3 siblings older than me, Carolina (31 years old), Carlos (29 years old), Carla (21 years old). My parents' name are Carlos and Beatriz. I live with my parents and with my sister Carla, but actually Carolina and her boyfriend (Hernan) came to live with us when their son was born. His name is Dante, he has one month and 2 weeks. We have 5 dogs (I had already wrote about them in my last post) two of them live outside the house and the last 3 live with us inside.

I spent my 12 years of school in the same institution in Buin, Saint James School. In my whole life I had different groups of friends, but in high school I met my closets friends their names are Barbara, Cristobal, Fernanda and Valentina ♥.

In 2015 I started my studies in the program of Public Administration in Universidad de Chile, I hope that this could be a great experience :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 .

A short history of my life

Hi! I'm Catalina Peña, I'm 19 years old, I'm in the program of Public Administration in the Universidad de Chile and the reason of this blog is because I'm studying English 3 and we're gonna write a lot in blogs. In the beginning i was scared to write  this blog because i don't know what to share with all my classmates and teacher, but at the same time its going to be a great method to improve my Writting skill which isn't developed enough. 

I have 5 dogs of different breeds, 2 of them lives outside the house because they are a big breed (Boxer and Bulldog, they names are Teo and Mambo repesctively), and the others 3 lives inside. One of them is my little baby, his name is Totto, he is a black poodle, he is 12 years old I had him since I was 8 years old, practically he had been stayed with me all my life, He is the apple of my eye, I couldn't live without him. Pelusa is my sister's dog, she is older than Totto, she is a white poodle, she is14 years old, she is the Queen in the house, she was the first dog who stays with us inside the house so we have an special care with her. The last one is called Toffee, he is really hyperactive, when he is bored or when he needs atention he starts to jump in the coaches and barks every time until someone pay atention to him.

I have many frustrated dreams, for example i want to have brackets, all of my friends had already worn, and it could be a little bit uncomfortable for them see me watch theirs tooth, but i really like how it seems. My other frustrated dreams is going to a Backstreets boys shows, I started to listen them during my childhood because my old Sister listened them so I started to love them too. My favourites songs are "As long as you love me" and "Show'em what you're made of"
