Me

When I chose Public Administration as a career I felt I was pigeonholing myself into a future that was not what I wanted for my life. The first year of college was very difficult and complex because a part of me was not happy with the choice I had made for my life, it was as if I myself had been constantly punishing myself for making a decision that I was never entirely convinced of. In spite of that and my negative thoughts, I gradually gained more security and affection for what I was studying; the feeling that the vocation of service was present in the midst of so much uncertainty.   Almost 3 years after having made this decision, I see in retrospect that, although I still can’t imagine a lifetime working at a desk, if I imagine working for Chile, for older adults. The only thing I had clear when choosing Public Administration was to do social justice for all the grandparents and grandparents of our country, to give them dignity in life and not to wait, even more, for the deteri...

I have often imagined my life in the future, wondering if all the effort I make in my daily life will bear fruit.  IMost of the time I project myself exercising my career, enjoying a profession that I chose out of conviction and that fills me, despite how strenuous it can be to study and work at the same time. For me being happy or planning to be happy in some future doesn’t mean much, on the contrary, I think making plans is counterproductive because our futures, indirectly, it also depends on the actions of others since we are part of a society and we live in a network that generates ties, feelings and belonging.

The only thing I’m clear about in a few more years is being with my mom, that we can accomplish goals together like traveling to Cambodia together. Also, I would like to be with my cat...

Without a doubt, the season of the year that I like the most and that I could say is my favorite, is winter. I like the cold and the rainy days because I have the feeling that nature is more alive than ever.   This year, winter began in mid-June and ended in late September, characterized by one of the hottest winters in history.   Unlike the above, I have very cute childhood memories, cloudy days like some flashes of heat, playing with my cousins at my grandmother’s house and drinking hot chocolate.   I also remember storms and storms of wind and torrential rains, nights without electricity because the rain affected the functioning of electric poles or gusts of wind that were heard until the early morning.   Maybe, unlike many people, I really like to go to the beach during the winter, the sky has colors that in no other season of the year you see, a combination of red tones, purple and yellow, which combined with the sea breeze make the beach one of my favorite plac...
