My career

When I was a kid I had lots of different ideas of what I wanted to be when growing up. I wanted to be an astronomer and law was also an option. I mostly liked careers related to science. But I always was a bit confused about it and I wasn't 100% sure of who I wanted to be. After graduating high school, I decided to study civil engineering. After a year, I realized I didn't like what I was doing because it wasn't really related to who I am and it wasn't compatible with my life goals, so I decided to drop and start studying something different. My two options were law and psychology, but I finally decided to stick with the second option. 

I decided to study psychology because I feel it's closer to my personal process of healing and I could use it as a better tool to help others (even though right now, i'm not so sure about it).

My experience until now has been difficult. It's been difficult to deal with mental illness, and university can be sometimes too much. My career process has been interrupted two times by the birth of my two sons. It has been complex, but it's helped me to learn a lot of new things. For now I would like to work in education related fields, supporting professors and teachers, helping them to resolve conflicts or improving processes that go on between students and teachers.

My favorite piece of technology

Imagen
Hi everyone! Today I'll talk about my Game Boy Advance (GBA), which is a game console. This is my favorite piece of technology. It was a gift of my husband, but I can't remember the date he gave it to me.  I use my GBA to play different games such as pokemon, kirby, rayman, etc. A few years ago I used to play it very often, nevertheless, after the birth of my two sons this changed considerably. I really like it because it brings to me sweet memories of my childhood, when I would have more free time for myself. I think that life whitouth my GBA will be pretty much the same, but definitely more boring.

My favorite festivity

 Hi everyone, today I'll talk about my favorite festivity, wich is easter. As far as I know, this celebration has been born to commemorate the resurrection of Christ. It is celebrated between March 22th and April 25th, the exact date changes each year. After a quick search by the web, I found out that easter is related with Passover, a jewish festivity, and they're very close in their respective calendars. The origins of the celebration are linked to the commemoration of the jewish people's liberation too, in 1531 B.C.  However, I'm actually not interested in these facts, because I'm an atheist. The reason why I like this festivity are my childhood's memories of this season. In chile, easter means family time, when parents hide different kinds of chocolate eggs from their children, so kids have fun finding and eating them. In honor to these memories, I celebrate easter with my children every year, but I try to be careful with their sugar intake ja ja.
