Why did I choose my major?

 

Ever since I was a kid, I always liked things related to science, I liked watching programs about animals and about space, plus I knew I didn't want to work in an office. So, I thought about a lot of careers before choosing forestry engineering. in high school, I knew I liked something related to biology, so I got into the biology elective, but I didn't like that it was only about human biology, so I ruled out a health career. In application week, I took our career into consideration on the last day and put it as my first choice along with the same at another university and environmental engineering. I was convinced that the major was about a little bit of everything, and I don't regret choosing it.

It has been a great experience in many areas to come to study in Santiago. Despite being homesick, I am very grateful for what the career has taught me, although it has been quite heavy. But one of the things I have liked the most is that I have been able to meet very cool people who make the days less difficult and brighter.
