Blog 7- How can your major make the world a better place

In this blog I will talk a little about my experience with the career and what I think the future holds. Studying sociology has been a very special experience, despite the circumstances of the pandemics, because it made me see why I chose sociology. I have become aware of many aspects of society and it has allowed me to question actions that happen on a daily basic. And I have learned many topics that are really interested to me, even if sometimes it is hard for me to understand them.

I hope, with the knowledge that I am learning and that I will learn in the future, to be able to contribute in a positive way to society, either with the research that I get to do on topics that contribute to improving society. I will like to be abble to get into topics about social history, inequality or feminism. 

Blog 6 - Post Graduate Studies

 

The true is I really don´t know what I want to do in the future in academic terms. Firt of all I want to finish the career of sociology. But then I don´t know what I would like to do. Maybe specialize in Latin American history or maybe delve more deeply into inequality.

I have thought about doing a master's degree outside of Chile, maybe in Scotland or in Czech Republic; I know there are government scholarships that allow you to study abroad, but I don't know very well how they work.

But as I said in the beginning, I really don't know seriously what to do after finishing sociology. It is something that I will be discovered along the way, since it is only my second year and I feel that I have not found yet something that I am very passionate about the different areas that sociology has. 

Blog 5 - Write about an artist or celebrity you admire

The artist I admire is Ariana Grande. She is an american singer, actress and music producer. She was born in June 26, 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida. She stared her career playing the role of Charlotte in the Broadway musical "13" in 2008. Then, she played the role of Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon series "Victorious" and "Sam and Cat" in 2010 and 2013 consequently. Now she is more dedicated in her music career. She have a total of six albums at the moment. 

I like and admire her because she have an amazing voice and her music style is so amazing, and the lyrics of her songs are so real and i love it. Also, in the lyrics of some songs she sings about metal health. There is a reason why a admire her, cause she use her voice and fame to speak, not only in her songs, about importan things like metal health and humans rights.

Here are some performances of Ariana Grande:

- Ariana Grande - 'breathin' (Live At Capital Up Close) - YouTube

- Ariana Grande: Imagine - YouTube

Blog 4 - A photograph

I took this picture on December 20th, 2019 at the “Festival of Chinese Lights”. This festival was in “Parque de la Familia”, in Santiago. In the picture appears one of the lights that the festival had. I like this picture because it make me remerber the great experience that my boyfriend and I had at the festival, with all the lights and the pictures we took, and the food that we bought in there. Other reason that I like this picture is because see very cool, with the water under the light at night, I just love it 😍.

Also, in the festival there were people on stage doing tradicional Chinese dances, it was beautifil. If in the future this festival return to Santiago, I would like to go again, because is a nice, beautufil and amazing experience. I recommended.  

Blog 3 - My favorite piece of tecnology.

My favorite piece of tecnology is my cellphone 📱. I got my first cellphone when I was 10 or 11 years old, but I didn’t used so often; just for call and play video games in it. My mon gave to me because I had to stay in home alone after class in that time. The cellphone that I have now I bought it, and I like it because I can access to a lot of information and comunicate with my friends or family at the same time. Also, I can watch videos or listen to music. Makes the life a little more easier.

The problem is that I use it so much and I don’t like that. I tried to used less every day, but some times I fail 😔. I don’t know how my life would be without a cellphone, I never think of that.

Blog 2 - Why did I choose this career?

Hi!

When I was a child I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist, because I really liked the main character in a series.

In high school I think in many options. I wanted to be a comercial engineer or a history teacher, but I wasn’t sure. I gratuated from high school and I took a sabbatical year, where I looked other careers. After all, I decided study sociology, because this career has what I wanted in history and it is very interesting how society evolves by multiple factors.

The college experiencie has been stressful, cause is so hard focus in classes and being in front the computer all day. However, I meet some friendly people, and their made this college experience much better.

I would like, in the future, to getting a master's degree or a doctorate associated with history.
