Why did I decided to study my career?

When i was a kid, I always wanted to be a geologist or a cartographer because I liked everything related with the process of the minery.
After, during almost the entire period of high school the only career that I thought I could study was engineer, specifically chemical engineer, because my grades in all others themes were too bad or I wasn´t very interested on them. I decided to take the mathematical optional in my college where we had maths around 12 hours per week. Was after one and a half year having this program that I realize that I got tired from math and that I didn´t wanted to study a career related with it. At the beginning I was quite distressed because without the option of beeing an engineer I didn´t know the curse that my life could take.

I told it to my parents and they asked me if I wanted an interview with mi neighbour P. Valenzuela that is a great national scientist that studied biochemistry on U. de Chile to witch I accepted. When I was talking with him he emphasized the idea of studying a career that you like and that full your expectations and that if I liked the chemistry area, study biochemistry was a very good option to choose, so I decided to try it and I started studying biochemistry this year.
Until now, my experience in the university has been really good; the áreas of study are motivating and challenging and my classmates are a great company.
