Why Did I Choose This Programme?

Since I was a child I have two passions: the science and the literature.
Sometimes remember when I played in the garden and asking me "why the ground and the grass are the different colors?" or in the rainy days I tried to write stories or poems, so I always had the dream of being a scientist or a writer.
When I finished the school I had no idea what study, but for recommendation from my family I decided study chemical engineering, but over time I realized that I do not like it at all. I did´t want to work with reactors.
After I leaving the university, spend the next year thinking: what should I study?
When I applied for university I was not sure about what to prioritize; literature or science.
Finally I decided study chemistry, I did´t like the idea of reactors, but I loved the idea of laboratories and investigations, that´s the kind of work I want.
Until now my experience in the university has been pretty good, my classmates and the environment are nice and i really like what I´m studying.

The best holidays I've had

 Frankly I have not had a very remarkable holidays, but the one I like to remember is when with my family (my parents, brother and sister) toured the north of Chile. It was in the summer of 2008, we start in Santiago and move on until we reach Arica. We passed through the big cities of the regions and tourist places of each place, like Humberstone, La mano del desierto, Valle de la Luna, etc. Somedays it was just a car ride, although with stops in a row, because my brothers and I were very small and we couldn't stay calm for long time and other days we would dedicate ourselves to touring the places, eating local food, taking many photos, going to the beaches, taking walks in the squares and parks. The trip lasted two weeks (it was all my father's vacation) and those are the most beautiful memories of my childhood, those always make me smile, especially for remembering the nonsense we did and for the wonder of touring a large part of the country, which at that time for me was so...

My Favourite Piece of Technology

Without a doubt, my favourite piece of technology is the cell phone. I like it because they are easy to transport, useful and practical. I personally occupy the phone practically all day; to listen to music, watch videos, search for information or just the waste time on the internet. I remember that my first cell phone was given to me by my father around seven years old, I barely understood how it worked and I practically only used it to play snake, since then I change it every couple of years. I must admit that it is an important part of my daily life, however I could live without it, I would no longer be "connected to the internet world", but I could take that time to read a book. Of course it would be different, but it would not be a bad option either.

Changes to my study program

Many times in college I would think or mention things about the subject when talking to my friends, but with the online semesters those ideas had disappeared, but here we go… I think that the curriculum, the workload and the duration of the studies is well distributed at the semester level, with a period of "recess" before the final exams and a good number of evaluations in each subject. In the same way, I think the teaching methods are quite good, but I would change some teachers, since although it has been repeatedly said that they do not get along with the students, they change their places or simply leave them without solving the issue of the problem and does not give a good environment to attend class or study. About the faculty infrastructure, they could put more places to eat, preferably enabled for cool days, eating outside at the tables is nice, but when it rains and there is wind a simple awning does not help much. Another change they could make is to fix the ...
