WHY DID I CHOOSE MY MAJOR



When I was little I liked to be a "doctor" a lot, I attended my animals and dolls with -according to me at my innocent age- medicinal herbs (lol), It clearly didn't work but in my mind I was an excellent doctor. I grew up with the idea of when I was older it would be great to study medicine like my aunt and save many people.

Already when I started high school, in my first year, I thought that I could study architecture because of my manual skills since I also loved arts and sculpture, therefore I spent two years focusing only in what I needed to do to study architecture. 
Only in my third year I remembered my dream of being a doctor as a young child, and I worked toward the new goal of studying medicine (although I had already ruined the last two years...) and managed, in my finals years, to be in the first place (score wise) of my generation. But with the PSU it was very difficult to get the necessary score for medicine, the first year I did the test, in 2018, I didn't get it so I took the year studying hard for the next one... Overall I gave the test three times, but I didn't get the score I needed, I was very frustrated for disappointing my family, but they supported me with my second choice, Dentistry, I wasn't very sure at first. even once i started classes i didn't feel comfortable with her until we started practice at the end of the year.
At the moment I feel comfortable in what I chose, I don't enjoy the theoretical much but I love the practical as it is easy to do. I hope in the future to get my degree, to practice, to select a specialty of my preference - I am interested in the forensic area - and to be able to enjoy with my family the fruits of my effort.

My favorite food

 I really like Asian food, especially one of the most popular currently, Sushi. Sushi is a Japanese dish that offers specially prepared rice and usually some type of fish or seafood, often raw, but sometimes cooked, along with some other additives such as avocado, chives  and cream cheese, that are wrapped in rice and seaweed.  The seaweed, called nori, is collected with submerged bamboo nets. Sushi can have different covers, some are wrapped in salmon, tuna, cream cheese, sesame, ciboulette, They can even be fried in tempura or panko, which leaves it crunchy, you can have a lot of diversity when making your choice in Sushi. Wasabi and soy sauce are commonly used to flavor sushi rolls.  In addition, you can accompany it with various sauces, from the most common as soy sauce, to some more special as teriyaki, everything goes in your preferences. I like it because it is a different flavor to what is usually eaten in Chilean food, it has condiments only used in ori...

HOW CAN YOUR MAJOR MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE?

 Hello everyone! I hope you are all very well. Today I will talk about something that I have already commented to you in previous Blogs, and that is that I study dentistry at the University of Chile, I am already in my second year and I will tell you a little about what the title of this entry goes. Dentistry is a profession concerned with the prevention and treatment of oral diseases, including diseases of the teeth and supporting structures and diseases of the soft tissues of the mouth, so it is a profession of great importance in society. Common conditions such as cavities, which can be very uncomfortable and painful in a person's daily life, are treated by the dentistry, and in the future I hope to be able to contribute to society by treating people who suffer from pain due to some oral injury, or help them feel more comfortable with themselves by doing some restoration or treatment that affects the esthetics of their smile, acquiring the necessary knowledge during the years...
