How did I choose this program/career?


When I was five or six years old my dreams were to be a singer, dancer or a vet. In that moment I really loved animals and I felt very sensitive with animal suffering, so I wanted to help animals being a veterinarian.
But as time goes by I started to influence in music, because my dad and mom made music together, not as a career but as a sort of part time job. So, in this musical context in a few times I acompane my mother in her shows, that wasn't big or with a good production but anyways I felt inspiration and admiration.
So I started to like music as expression in all senses. For this reason, I also really loved dance because I felt that I could connect with mi body and my feelings while the music sounded.
Long time before, when I did the PSU, I was really confused about what Program or career choose. I wanted study Psychiatry, Psychology, Music Production, Music Theory, Philosophy, and Chemical Industry.
In secondary School I felt more scientist than humanist, but in the last years I started to feel passion in all relacionated with mind sciences and social sciences. So finally I decided to be a Psychologist, because I was really interested in the practice of this Program, in contrast to be a Philosophy teacher for example, because in that time I wasn't seeing myself as teacher.
 But in 2015 I got in the Bachillerato Program of Universidad de Chile, because my score in PSU wasn't the necessary to entered in Psychology Program.
Currently, I'm in 4th grade of Psychology Program and I feel relatively satisfied. So, in my free times I do that I love; music, read or learn about philosophy, art,etc.
My experiencie in the university in general has been good, because I have known honest and friendly people, and also I have learned political issues that are so important in my career.
Finally, I could say that I would like work as a clinic psychologist dealing with sexual abuses cases or gender violence cases. Preferably I would like work in CAVAS center or CAPS.

    Hi Fabiana, the music was always in the whole of your life, until now, why did you decided to study something like the psychology and not become a professional musician?

    Hi Fabiana, I also felt more scientific than humanist in high school, I never thought studying something related to humanist.
    I hope you can working in whatever you want.

My autobiography 2.0

Hi, I'm going to tell you a little more about me. I was born in Curico, in 1997. For these days I have lived with my family; dad, mom, and two siblings. When I was 6 years old, my mom and my two sibling came to Santiago, Chile. At that time, we lived with my uncles and cousins in La Florida, Santiago. Then, my mom and two siblings moved to an apartment very close of my uncles, also in La Florida. For these days me and my two siblings were going to a public school called Guardamarina Ernesto Riquelme, in the same commune. After that, my mom prefered change us to other school, because the quality education in that school wasn't very good. So, my two siblings and me moved to a Boston College, a subsidezed school in La Florida. In 5th grade, my sister and me change to Maria Auxiliadora school, also a subsidezed school, in the center of Santiago, in avda Matta. At first I felt very difficult the level of the education, but as time went by I was adapted. I went to that school ...

Hi, today I’m going to talk about a course that I would like to take in the future after my degree. I didn’t think about this because I always focused in goals in short terms; get my degree, be able to live alone, focused in other protects like music, etc. But, if I could think in some course or Magister after my degree I would say that a Magister in Social Neuroscience could be a great option, because the Program of Psychology in Universidad de Chile is focused in Social Sciences mostly, and I believe that Neuroscience it’s an area less explored, or that I didn’t exploited very well. In this program I would like to study about psychiatric drugs and their effects, the neuronal functioning of some basic psychological process like love, hate, depression, personality disorders, and how all this work in consideration of social context where we live. I would like to study in Chile, perhaps in Universidad Diego Portales, because they have a Magister in Social Neurosciences. But, the id...

Hi everyone, I’ll talk about the best concert I have ever been to. I have always been a big fan of music, especially rock, metal and electronic music, so I would say I have been in some concerts that marked me for life. The first concert that I was present was the tour of Guns n’ roses in 2010. In that concert, they promoted “Chinese Democracy” album and the show was in Movistar Arena.   Guns n roses is a hard rock/glam metal band formed in L.A, California in 1985. They separated in the middle of ’90s and Axl rose, vocalist and pianist of the band continued to work in solitary and at the same time, he appropriated the name of the band. Soon after that, some members of Guns n Roses formed a new band called Velvet Revolver. So basically, the concert I have been in 2010, was the concert of Guns n Roses, but with a single member of the old formation: Axl Rose. The music wasn’t the best because many songs of the album Chinese Democracy were played, and I wanted to listen ...
