Post 2: Why did you choose this study program?
Dear students, today we will write about our study program ("su carrera"). The information you need to include is:
- Your dream jobs when you were a child
- Other options that you had at the moment of applying to university
- What made you decide in the end
- Your experience at university until now
- The kind of job you would like to have
Here is my story with my study program:
When I was a child I wanted to be a supermarket cashier. Really. Of course, my family didn't approve of that, so I knew that I really wanted to study at Universidad de Chile but I was not sure about which study program. I thought about History, Anthropology, and even Engineering! I was so confused in my last year at school that I decided to study Bachillerato. That was one of the best decisions I made, because I learnt a lot during that process. In Bachillerato I discovered that I was very good in the humanities, and not very good at sciences and maths, and that the thing that really called my attention was the study of languages. I decided to study English Linguistics and Literature because then I would study linguistics, which I love, and I would also learn English, which is always good. In the end it was also a very good decision - I was a good student because I loved everything we were learning, and I always wanted to know more. My classmates were a good group, we always worked together, and I still remember them very fondly. It was a great experience overall.
The job I have now is very good. I love being a teacher, and I always imagined me doing this when I graduated. Now, I want to apply to a Doctorate to learn more about education, so that I can contribute to the country by doing workshops with school students.
What about you?
This is really funny, cause when i was a child, i wanted to be a supermarket cashier too , i always think it's a really funny think (but in the reality its not hahah) i think i like that 'cause in a birthday my parents gave me a toy who are a little cashier machine, and it was beautiful! and not only that, the toy has little miniature of fruits and vegetables! and some boxes of cereal and cans of peas! <3
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I'd never met someone who also wanted to be a cashier. Same story with me: a friend had that toy, and I loved it. The good thing is I can still become a supermarket cashier, so my dream is still alive.
DeleteIt's great that u love ur work!!, because a lot of people don't do, even more when it's a teacher work
ReplyDeleteIt's true, teaching is hard work and not everyone likes it.
Deletei think that i should enter in bachillerato before i decided to study something
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should do it. It teaches you a lot about being at university before you *really* start studying.
DeleteI like to see the lenguages as a way to interpretate the world around us :)

DeleteI also was interested in Anthropology in high school :o
ReplyDeleteIt's a very interesting subject to study.
DeleteI love that you want to learn and study more about education! the education in Chile is so poor, only teach us for be funcional outside in the market world, fortunately there are teachers like you that think in other ways of education.
