POST 2; WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS CAREER / STUDY PROGRAM?

Friday, Septemmber 29th, 2017

When I was a child I dreamed of being an astronaut, I remember I loved how the stars and the moon looked like on the night, I really wanted to watch them closely. Also, there was a time when I wanted to be a doctor, because I wanted to help people and care for their health, but I was terrible at Science, so I decided that I do wanted to help people but not as a doctor.
When I grew up, I started to think seriously about my future and what I wanted to be. In school I was good at history, so I started to think about careers related to this subject. First, I thought about being a lawyer, then a psychologist, a history teacher and finally a sociologist.
What made me decide that I wanted to study sociology was that I realized that I wanted to transform the society through its comprehension.
My experience at university is pretty good; although it is difficult, I really like my life and my career at university.
The job I want the most is to be a representant in the United Nations, I know I have to work hard I will do my best the fulfil my dreams.

Changes in my study program

There are so many changes that I want to do apply in my study program although it has change so much in the last years. First, I think my study program needs more electives courses to create a way for the students and their preferences.

On the other hand, I think the elective courses need more variety areas of interest because the election of one becomes so complex when there is no variety. I think the changes in the study program are really necessary to perfectionate and modernize the level of professionals that the university forms so this way, they’re up to date with new technologies and the labor market. Finally, I think it's a really good sign that the study programs change because it means that the careers are taking care of what the students and the discipline needs.

Cecilia was born in 1956 in in a high class family, is that why she studied in a exclusive school of Santiago, the Grange School, after this, in 1080 she ingress to the Facultad de Ciencias Sociales (FACSo) of the Universidad de Chile.

In my opinion, she is important in my field because she combined two important things, given to you by sociology: the tools to analyze society and action to transform reality. She understood that the context was so complex because of the dictatorship and she acted in the name of justice. I think she...

Blog 6: My Postgraduate

The postgraduate is really important after undergraduate is over, in my case, when I finish sociology, I want to travel to Concepción and study a postgraduate in the Universidad de Concepción. The postgraduate that I want to study is the Magister of History, i choose this one because I want to complement my knowledge about sociology with the study of a magister in history, this wil allow me understand better social process and historical interpretations. On the other hand, I choose Concepcion and the Universidad de Concepción because is a city and a university that I really like, the streets, the parks, the builds, etc. I would like to study this in part time because I think in complement this with my future work as a sociologist and i hope this magister allows me lear about a lot of things related to history and social sciences.
