Blog 2: Why did I choose my career?

 

Hi everyone! 

Today I'm going to talk about why I chose the career that I'am studying right now.

 

When I was a child, I like to draw, and I remember what I wanted to be a landscape designer or a painter, but in that time I don’t thought in those things so much. I always knew that by the kind of person that I was, I don’t wanted a job where I has to deal with people every day, definitely didn't want to be a doctor or a lawyer or nothing alike it.

With time, with my mom we recognize that I liked to build miniature cities and houses. This is why architecture was always an option for me, but when I thought in draw blueprints Instantly I felt overwhelmed, that's why I always discarded it. For my math and physics skills I was leaning towards other careers.

At the moment of applying to university, I wanted to study some kind of civil engineering, I was able to get in, but not in the university that I wanted. That's why I wanted to enter to Bachillerato at the University of Chile to get a chance.

For things of destiny and life, I decided to leave Bachillerato to study architecture in the same university.

My experience studying architecture at university until now was shaky, because initially due to personal problems and mental health I had a very bad time. Over time everything has improved and every time I like more my career. I would like to work in the area of urbanism, working in some municipality and carry out sustainable housing and urban planning projects.
