Blog Session 3: My favorite piece of technology

My favorite piece of technology in the world is the headphones!

It is very important for me to always have them with me, I always keep them in my backpack or pockets before leaving, and if I realize that I forgot them, I go back home to look for them, so I can use them at home, on the street, in the transport, at the university, wherever.

I occupy them every day of the week, everyone! However, I am very careful so the headphones last a long time. At the most I must buy two pairs a year, when they break or stop working.

They are my favorite piece of technology because no matter where I am, or what is happening around me, they allow me to concentrate on what I do or prevent me from hearing the annoying noise of the streets. So I can read without problems or just have a quiet trip.

I can't think of what I would do if the headphones didn't exist, I think I would be very stressed all the time, I could only listen to music in my house and I could never isolate myself from the noise ever, IT WOULD BE HORRIBLE!

Blog Session 2: Why did you choose your career?

When I was a child, answering this kind of things was much simpler, even if we were asked every day. I remember that when I was a little girl I wanted to be a ballet dancer and make turns all day, but what I really wanted to be during much of childhood, was a veterinarian. The problem was that I was very afraid of dogs, and when I saw a big dog or a group of dogs together, I was paralyzed (still), so that option did not prosper.

Then, during my years at school, I just didn't know it. I thought about sociology, history, law, forest engineering and architecture.

What do you like so much that you want to do it throughout your life? It seems to me an extremely complex question. So I never knew, not when I was in pre-university, or when the PSU responded.

Finally, I went to the university to study psychology, even without knowing if I wanted to work on it after, but I was sure that psychology was a topic that really interested me to learn, and for which it would be worth the effort.

I wanted to live the present. However, work is difficult for everyone.

Currently, already in the second year of the race, I am really happy with the decision I made. All my bouquets are a very interesting discovery for me and that is enough.

I honestly don't know what I want to work after, but I definitely know that I want to study psychology today.

Blog Session 1: My autobiography, Who Am I?

HELLO!

My name is Magdalena Huenchulaf Rojas and I'm 20 years old.
I was born on November 26, 1999, in the Central Clinic of Santiago of Chile.

My family is made up of my mother Alejandra, my father Misael and my two older brothers, David and Leandro. Although I currently live only with my parents in the commune of San Bernardo, in the same house that has always been our home.

During all my basic education I studied at the Juan Bautista Durán School, in the El Bosque commune, where I met the most important friends of my life, with whom I still share. Then, during my secondary education I studied at the Liceo 7 in Santiago, a municipal school for only womens and very involved in social protests, where I learned, among many important things, about strength and feminism. 

It is in this place where my search for vocation begins, the advice of my friends, who always had the subject more clear than me, being of great help. I think they always knew what I would choose, before I knew it myself.

Currently, in addition to being a psychology student at the University of Chile, I enjoy dancing, reading novels and visiting my friends in my free time.
