Post 2: Why did you choose my major?

Hi!!

   Well this task is a little bit hard for me... you will see XD

    When I was a child I wanted to be an archaeologist. Indiana Jones was my idol hahaha and I was very delighted with dinosaurs and ancient civilizations... until now I love to read about these topics, more with my son, he loves dinosaurs (some of his first words when he learned how to speak were pachycephalosaurus and parasaurolophus... I must admit that I felt very proud 😋).

   When I studied Food Engineering I had 3 options; my first option was FE, my second options was C&P. and the third was architecture (I don´t remember why, maybe because I love drawing). Actually it was so hard decided what to study... I have severals skills (my hobbies are drawing, cooking, reading and writing) and at the school I had maths and scientific interest and of course good marks... but nothing never enchanted me.

    Even though I have a degree I decided to start again with C&P... honestly I don´t like FE and I wasn't lucky finding jobs. When I worked as an engineer I didn't feel satisfaction, sometimes I felt very frustrated. And as I said in the first post, I´m also a therapist and with these studies I discovered my true vocation: heal people and help them, I enjoy that... it fills my heart... on the other hand I also have a scientific mind... that's the reason why I decided to start a second career.

       Well about the experience at the U... until now... just zoom classes 😱😱😱, I miss the old experience a lot, classrooms, classmates, the teachers... everything. I don´t know anybody face to face, It's feels so cold and unreal.

    I would like to work somewhere I feel valued and can use my skills and knowledge. Some job where sciences is used for  good of people and the planet, not just for pockets, you know what I´m said.  

Bye, thx 4 read!

Post 1: Who am I?

 Hi everyone,

    My name is Andrea Galdames. I´m from Santiago, Chile, but right now I´m living in San Carlos, escaping from all the stress of Santiago. Nothing better than country life.

    Well, what can I say about me?... I´m 32 years old, I´m studying a second career, I have a Food Engineer degree, from this same house of studies. I joined last year  to studied Chemistry and pharmacy by especial entry.

    I have other studies, but I little bit different, I´m holistic therapist (Reiki, Bach´s flowers and others) and I have a master on akashic record reading. I love this kind of medicine/therapy not just to help people, but also show how to find their own path.

    About my family, well I have a beautiful son, his name is Dante, he is 4 years old and he is very smart and funny. As I said before, we are living in the country right now, very close to Chillan. 

         The reason we came here is because I don´t have anybody who takes care of my son when I´m in class or studying. But my sister has enough time to help me at the moment, because she and her husband are building their house in a lovely plot of land with a beautiful view.

    Staying here with my son is very pleasant... and funny for Dante, he loves animals, and here we can see horses, cows, chickens, even some goats.  

    

PRACTICE EXCERCISE

       If I like studying English? I can say YES, I love it. Why? Well I think learn English is an enormous tool for our lives, since our traditional life until our jobs and career.

    But one of the most important reason because I like it is be able to know people from several countries and learn about their culture. I had the luck to know beautiful people thanks to be able to talk English, an Indonesian girld and her husband from Siria.

    The most difficult for me is writing and verbs conjugation, sometimes with the speed of a conversation become a little bit confused perhaps I don't think on "How can I say that" I just talk and try to understand to the other one

    For me the easy part about English is hear and understand,  I discovered I have a good comprehension hearing even when you have talk with people from different countries and they have several accent. I lived for six month on Australia and I worked like a cashier in a supermarket,then I spoke all days with different kind of people, Indian, Greek, Chinese and the Aussies has a rare accent XD, I needed translate the sound inside my head understand the words and finally can know what they say.
