My Career

I’m in my first year studying design in Universidad de Chile. I chose this career because I always like to draw and I considerate myself very creative. I love do things for others with my hands, with my mind, with my heart, and is very grateful when that things are solving people´s problems or needs. 

To be honest, I didn´t know too much about this career, so when I start studying I really started from the beginning. I was a little bit scared, because I didn’t know if I really chose the right career. I was between studying Art, Music or Design. Today I can say that I wasn’t wrong. 

For a moment, I didn’t want to study here. I wanted to study in Valparaíso in the PUCV. The subjects that Universidad de Chile had before weren´t of my liking. But I’m from Rancagua and I would be too far of my family, so they didn’t like the idea of me studying there because I’m too sickly and I really have to take care of myself always. I wouldn’t have anyone there and I couldn’t be able to continue with some activities that I like to participate in Rancagua because of the distance. So when I heard that the university had change its subjects I was very happy. Now, the subjects are very similar, and it is focused more in the art side. I love my career and where I’m studying. 

Now I have my own apartment and I live with my cousin who is 21 and is like my brother because we live together in Rancagua too. Is nice to have someone of your family close to you who can help you and be with you most of the times. Is not sad to start to live alone and became an adult in my conditions.

My Future Job

Since we are kids we always think about what we are going to be when we grow up. I´ve thinking about it many years, and today I can say that I want to work in everything related with arts and crafts. I doesn´t matter if it is outdoors or indoors. I enjoy both alternatives as long as I have my space, but I really imagine myself travelling around the world and knowing more cultures. I don´t care if I won´t have enough money, I just want the necessary to live and travel, because I´m not sure if I want to have kids.   Now I´m studying design and I want as major Industrial Design. I feel that this option opens to me more work areas, and if I want to travel and investigate about cultures and folklore, I think that being an industrial designer is perfect if I have to work with clothes, instruments, jewels, because I will know very well how to use and work with materials and where I can found that kind of things. I don´t imagine myself doing something boring to me. I couldn´t b...

A place that I would like to know: Thailand

 Travelling, is one of the most funny ways to learn about life and society: cultures, languages, architecture, colors, people and more. There´re too many interesting places around the world that we need to visit someday.  We have the  classic ones , like Europe, USA, the Caribbean, etc; but their culture is still not too strange to us, and that´s an history thing. But there are places where we really don´t have nothing in common, even the alphabet!  One of that places is the Southeast Asia. It is composed of eleven countries, and between them is Thailand. Thailand is a kingdom, and is the number 20 in the list of the most populated countries in the world. The 75% of the ethnic people is thai, and that means that their culture didn´t change too much like us. Bangkok is Thailand´s capital city and you can find there a lot of weird things to eat, buy and see. You also have in this country the most beautifuls beaches and places where you can meditate. It´s like yo...

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Well, I don´t know if I want to change something about my career. I think that the curriculum is nice, and it’s more, because I actually think that our school is more demanding than others which are “at the same level”.  Our teachers say that a designer is not only a designer, we need to be an intellectual too to start to do our work well because we work for others and our mission is trying to solve people’s problems. It means that is necessary to us knowing about history, philosophy, maths, sciences, etc. besides the technical subjects like drawing, composition and project.   And I like this. I feel like when I get graduated, I will be prepared for everything. The problem aren’t the subjects. Is the schedule. It’s too badly organized! For example, I need to have Physics’ class three times a week, and on Thursday I have that three classes in just one day so that means that my Thursday is basically five continue hours of physic. I hate it. Another important thing that...
