Blog 2: Why did I choose this program / career?

I do not remember exactly when in my life I decided to study architecture. It was probably in second or third year of high school, when the teachers repeatedly told us how important it was to start to study at the university and that we had to make a good decision. My other career options to apply to university were not many. I was interested in studying nursing or being a stewardess, but in the end I ended up choosing architecture almost by default, because just by thinking in the idea of ​​working in a hospital for the rest of my life and realizing that I was really lousy at languages, I had no choice. But the moment I delved further into the idea, researched and learned about the curriculum and other things, it started to get quite my attention.

When I was a child, I used to paint and draw in my free time. Also, with my grandmother we did crafts or created things for the house. I knew that I had a well-developed creative side that maybe I could take advantage of in my architecture career. I remember that my passion for painting was so great when I was a child that, more than once, it crossed my mind to be a painter, but my mother always told me that, to be an outstanding painter, I had to be outside of Chile, because here people always recognized artists when they were already dead and the truth is that living in another country has never caught my eye.

I do not regret having chosen to study architecture. I discovered that I am quite passionate and I love to continue developing a side of sensitivity before people and things. Obviously at university there are always difficulties, but I always try to find the positive side of things.

If you ask me what I would like to work on when I graduate, the truth is I would not know how to answer with certainty. But what I’m pretty sure of is that sitting in front of a screen for hours seems boring to me. I want my work to be more didactic, to visit land, do architecture classes, or work in the urbanization area. Maybe I will be a teacher of some subject ... ask me in a couple of years.
