A career-related website that I enjoy visiting

Imagen
  Hi everyone!! Today I want to talk about a website that has saved me a lot of time in my university life. This website is Khan Academy, mostly the YouTube channel of Khan Academy. This YouTube channel has so many videos teaching and explaining a lot of topics about math and science. I often use the science videos. The videos on the YouTube channel of Khan Academy and on the website have divisions for topics, one example is organic chemistry (this section saved me and helped me understand this curse in the university). The good thing about these sections and videos is that they explain the themes, and after they do exercises or give you an example that allows you to understand the theme completely, I usually visit this channel when I have a test or when I need to remember something that I don't remember, which happens frequently unexpectedly (xd). So I really like this website, and I recommend it to everyone who needs it because it is a quick, visual and a good way to underst...

A Photograph I Like

Imagen
  Hi everyone!! It's me again. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite photos of this year <3. This photo was taken by my best friend Valentina on March 8, 2023, during the march of Women's Day. I love this photo because when I see it again, I feel the euphoria that I felt that day. It was my first march in commemoration of Women's Day. It was a very beautiful and emotional day because, for the first time in my life, I felt secure and free around so many people. Usually, when I'm around a lot of people, like on the subway, I think of all possible scenarios in which something bad could happen to me, or I see all faces and the behavior of the people around me, those thoughts invade my head because I have anxiety, so to be in a place was I wasn't invaded by those thoughts was really wonderful and comforting.  In this photograph, you can see my friend Camila and me during the march when it began to get dark. One thing that you can't see, but I remember, is ...

My Favorite Piece of Technology

Imagen
 Hi everyone! Shalom again. Today we're going to talk about technology, specifically my favorite pieces of technology, my iPad and my cellphone. It is difficult for me to choose one of them because I use both equally.  I use my iPad for so many things, I study and take notes in class, and in my free time, I watch a lot of series with it. On the other hand, I use my cellphone for watching series too, but I also use it to check Instagram and WhatsApp groups, take photos of nature, my pets or beautiful things like the sky in the sunset, and in the metro or micro, I generally use Spotify to listen to a playlist depending on the mood or a podcast called "weona que creici", I love those guys! They make my boring activities more fun. I think I'm very dependent on my cellphone and my iPad because I have my entire life on them and I use them all the time. I wish it wasn't like that, but that is the truth. When I'm alone, they are my company. Sometimes I forget to do i...

Why I choose to study this career

Imagen
   Hi everyone! Today I will tell you why I decided to study my career. When I was a child I dreamed to be a doctor or something related with science, because my father is biochemist and in my childhood I accompanied my dad to his laboratory, that place is like a magic world for a child because everything is strange and new. My toys were mainly Barbies and babies, but I had doctor sets too, and I liked to watch "Erase una vez el hombre" and "Erase una vez la vida" specially the chapter about pregnancy. I really like to know how things work, I was a very curious girl.  In the adolescence I had a very good biology and chemistry teacher, she inspired me and reaffirm my love to the science. In that time I do theatre and folklore dance in my school and started to watch a lot of series about crimes and the mystery attracted me, with so many things that I like and I was good at I started to doubt about my future. So my options were theatre, medicine, forensic medicine an...

My Autobiography

     Hi everyone!! I'm Shalom from "the common life of science student". I was born on December 27th 2001 in a public hospital of Santiago, Chile. My mom was in labor for 3 days so I supose I didn't want to come to the world -ooppss-       In my childhood I constantly moved so I went to nine different schools.  In the last of them I stayed for six years, in that school I discovered my passion for biology, series, folklore dance and acting. In my last four years of "enseñanza media" I thought I will study something associated to medicine but the destiny don't want that. In 2019 the year of "estallido social" in Chile I did the PSU (university selection test) and the mathematical test 3 times!! That was so exhausted.. finally I enter to “Universidad de  Chile”  on pedagogy in biology and chemistry, I don't regret because pedagogy allows me to develop social skills and help children and teenagers to found their path in the world and under...
