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?
