This photo is very special to me. It was taken in October 2018, I meet again after almost two years with one of my best friends from high school after she went to study in Ecuador.  From left to right is Lady, me and Jahiline, my best friends from high school. Jahiline is Ecuadorian and Lady is Peruvian. From the first day of high school we became friends with Jahiline, Lady joined us some time later.  At the end of high school, Jahiline decided to go to study in Ecuador, since he did not obtain a sufficient score in the "PSU" test to be able to study medicine in Chile and left for Ecuador in December 2016. I remember that that day we were very anxious and happy to see each other again, we went to look for her at the airport and we talked for hours and hours until dawn, like we haven't talked in a long time, being that those two years we kept in contact by WhatsApp. It was amazing how much we had changed in those two years, how different she looked and how different she s

 When I finish university I plan to work for a while to gain some experience as a professional, In addition, one of my objectives at the end of my degree is to dedicate myself to improving my skills in English in order to master it very well and that not knowing this language is not an impediment to continue studying and doing postgraduate studies abroad. Chemistry and pharmacy is a beautiful career and has a very broad field, so as I mentioned in the previous post, I honestly still do not know what area I would like to dedicate myself to, but some courses that I would like to take would be for to acquire knowledge and skills in the area of the pharmaceutical industry, be it pharmaceutical technologies, quality controls, investigation and development, etc. Although I would also like to do a postgraduate degree in pharmacology and toxicology. I think it is important that we are constantly studying, learning and expanding our knowledge in our area, since these are constantly evolving. I

I will start by telling you about my experiences working. The first time I worked was when I was 15-16 years old and I dedicated myself to wrapping Christmas presents during the month of December. Then, in the same place, I worked as a saleswoman during the Christmas season. When I started university and for 2-3 years I worked as a promoter in supermarkets and stores. I am currently working as a hair technique in a clinic specialized in treatments for different types of alopecia and I am an assistant in the subject of Differential and Integral Calculus in my faculty. In addition, I have worked teaching mathematics to children between the ages of 7-15 approximately. I am very good at teaching children and I love it. In all my jobs, I have had to deal with clients, who are often very difficult and they don't always treat you in the best way. When I think about what I would like to work on in the future, when I finish my university degree, I really don't know. I like the area of p

If there's one thing I love, it's peanut butter, literally it's just peanut butter haha. I eat it every day with fruits and I also put it in my breakfast oatmeal with more fruit, I love its flavor and how it is with strawberries and banana. I also like to eat it with pancakes, bread and waffles. The first time I tried it and for many years I prepared it. It's very simple, you just need unsalted roasted peanuts, a blender or food processor, and a lot of patience. First, if your peanut is not toasted, you can toast it in an oven or in a pan so that the flavor is much richer and more intense, then it is as simple as putting the peanuts in the processor and waiting for the peanuts to release their oil to finally turn into butter. Sometimes I mix it with bitter cocoa powder and some sweetener and it is also delicious, but lately I haven't had much free time to prepare it, so I buy it in the supermarket, but I always notice that in the ingredients I have only peanuts to m

 I have many embarrassing moments in my life, I think that at least once a month something happens to me where I want the earth to swallow me. Like almost everyone, for the summer holidays with my family we usually go to the beach. I remember that for a mini vacation in La Serena we went to Totoralillo beach, a beach with an impressive swell. With my sister we have always been good at swimming, since we learned from a very young age and my father always put us in the sea to swim with him. When I was 10 I started to wear a bikini, before I always used a full bathing suit because it was much more comfortable for me. As a typical beach day, we arrived (which by the way there were quite a lot of people since it is a very beautiful beach) we spent a while in the sun and together with my sister, who is two years older than me, we went to bathe at the beach. I remember that the waves used to dump us and drag us to the shore of the beach,.Well, among those many times that a wave spat us up to

I have only attended three concerts in my life, two were by Justin Bieber and one by Selena Gomez.  Without hesitation, Justin Bieber concerts have been the best. Nowadays, I don't like Justin anymore but the experience of attending his concerts as a teenager in love with his "Idol" was extraordinary. In 2011 I attended my first concert with my sister and our best friends. It was the first concert that Justin Bieber gave in Chile on his first international tour "my world", at the National Stadium. On October 15, the day of the concert, we arrived very early at the stadium, our mothers accompanied us. I remember it was very hot and the sun was burning. We were in line all day as our tickets did not have a fixed seat. The atmosphere outside the stadium was wonderful, many teenage girls crazy to meet their idol and sing his songs at the top of their lungs. That day I made many friends that I still have to this day. At nine o'clock the concert began, the emotion
