The life has its own mysterious ways

The story about how I chose to study Psychology is, actually, very long.  When I finished high school in 2003, I had already decided to study Language Pedagogy at UMCE, so did I. Maybe that decision was made because my parents were both teachers, but during the time that I got initial practice I realized that I didn’t want to do that for the rest of my life, mainly because of the censorship to innovate in the educational system. But the disappointment that I felt was an opportunity to reassemble my priorities and my interests.

After I left that career, I worked for the next six years (2006-2012) and in 2011 I decided to study Psychology. This time, I took my time (long time!) to get the information that I needed and finally I chose this career because my interest in Education has never ended. I think that Psychology represents a rich field to innovate in our educational system, but its methodologies and scopes to reach it are very different. It is considered an auxiliary discipline, which complements and the work of teachers, but I think its potential is even more that.

I chose Universidad de Chile because of its pluralistic and secular tradition, but I believe this decision wasn’t really important three years ago.

So how did you choose your career? Are you satisfied with your decision?

About dreamy trips :)

Hello everyone!

I’ve always think that travelling is probably the best thing you can do in your life, the best way to spend your money. Personally, I want to visit Egypt someday, because I have always been intrigued by its culture and its mysteries.

Few days ago, I saw a documentary in TV about the construction of the pyramids. They explained that none paranormal event had occur: in fact, the slaves had modeled every giant block and statues with sand and then they pulled them over wet sand with sledges. Furthermore, the sand of the blocks and sphinxes was wet too, so they were lighter and the mount of people needed to pulled them was fewer than we thought.

I can’t imagine how magnificent the pyramids are. And the temples! They must be wonderful. I want to visit the museums too, because the relics founded in the ruins of the ancient tombs, temples and cities are beautiful and I think they can tell us something more about the way the Egyptians lived their golden age.

It would be interesting to study the ancient hieroglyphs to learn about the perspectives and the ideas that Egyptians had about their own reality and how they were changing in time.

That’s my plan by now, but I’m really sure that there’s a lot of thing that we can see and learn about Egypt and its vast culture.

Have a nice week! :)
