What I want to be...

-
This time I will talk to you about what I hope to be my future. When I was a kid I wanted to be a math teacher, then I switched to biology and chemistry teacher and finally I chose Biochemistry as my major. 
I haven´t gave up the idea of teaching tho, it still on my mind when I think about my future, but I felt that there was something missing when I thought about just being a teacher. I love investigating, I mean… the idea of discovering something that could help millions of people is mind blowing.


In Chile scientists don’t earn much money and there are just a few jobs, making science in Chile is just for those who have the vocation to, I mean if you are a scientist in Chile you don’t know if you will get a job, or if it will be well paid.
One of the main goals I have is to travel around the world. I don’t care how as long as I visit a lot of countries, my desire is to visit Europe and I think I could apply to some fellowships to make it happen.
The area of investigation that I like is Immunology, mainly the study of cancer and HIV. I like the study of cancer because I would like to find the cure someday –or be part of the group that finds it- because my family on my mother’s side has a long history with cancer, one example of it is my grandfather, the one of my previous post, do you remember him? Well, he died of esophagus cancer, so it would mean a lot to me to find the cure of it.

The changes I would do to my study program

-
Well, I would do so many changes in here… for start we have so little space here, it’s like all the four majors are overcrowded, we don’t even have a decent place to have lunch… I mean, almost every microwave has its plate missing and others are just too old that they don’t heat up the food anymore. One of the couches that we have is broken, you practically sink in it. Following with the previous idea of being overcrowded, the classrooms are not big enough for some classes or something in the classroom does not work right (like the projector, the audio or the air conditioner). We also don’t have appropriate training locations for each selection of the faculty, some of us have to go and train elsewhere. Like me, for example, I practice taekwondo here since last year but we had to move from here and train elsewhere because we had lack of space. Besides, the authorities here don’t give the sports the importance they deserve and much less the equipment they need. And if we don’t have m...

The songs that I like

To start I’m going to say that music is very important for me, it has been with me in my best and worst moments. I like a lot of different genres too, but there are a few songs that have marked me for life. When I was 4 years old my grandfather on my mom’s side died of cancer and in the funeral two songs were played that I remember the most, Mi Viejo by Piero and Con una pala y un sombrero by Gervasio… every time I hear one of these two song I want to cry and I get really nostalgic but they remind me of my grandfather and I can feel him right here by my side. Another song that I really like is The Climb by Miley Cyrus, it has a great lesson, it teaches you not to give up, to always push harder, to always have faith in ourselves and that it doesn´t really matter how much time it takes you to achieve something you can´t ever give up on it. Another song that I like and that I listen to every time is Blank Space by Taylor Swift, I remember my best friend once told me that this song...

Opinioons!

Well guys, this time I will give my opinion about 4 polemic topics. Let’s start with tattoos, to be honest, I love them hahaha my biggest sister has two and I’d like to get one (or two or three or several) myself. One of my biggest problems is that my mom hates them, she got really mad when she found out that my sister got her first tattoo but not so much when she found out about the second one. In my opinion, tattoos look amazing and it’s up to each one of us to get or not get one. Now let’s talk about legalizing marijuana and other drugs. Well, I think marijuana should be legalized and not just for medical reasons, recreational’s too. By the way, I am not just talking about the consumption/possession or buying/selling, but planting too, I mean, it’s so much safer to plant your own stuff then buying to someone and having no idea of what you are buying. Refering to animal testing, I think it shouldn’t exist and if it does, then it should be punished. We are animals too, we should...
