My favorite piece of technology

Definitely my favorite piece of technology is my notebook. I got it two years ago, in 2014. I use to think about my notebook as a very important tool for work. I use it to take notes about my classes, to study, to read books of my interest or that I have to read for the university, to write essays or works that I also have to do for the university, etc. But of course that doesn't mean that I only use it for academic things. I also use to watch movies and series on it, to navigate on the internet, to send emails and messages on other platforms (like Facebook), etc. So, because of what I said before I use it almost every day. I don't remember too many days which I haven't use it. But I use to get disconnected from it when I travel in my vacations or when I do something like that. Therefore, it is a very useful piece of technology for me and that's why I like it a lot. Probably, life without it wouldn't have the facilities that I get from my notebook. For example I would have to take notes of the classes on a classical notebook (not the electronic one; the one made of paper), and sometimes that will mean that I won't be capable of taking all the information that I want on a note. Of course I can take notes on a classical notebook, but I have the feeling that sometimes I can take better ones with my computer. To put another example, I can say that without it I would have to come to work to the university or to a friend's house every time I have to do some work that involves the use of Microsoft Word or Power Point. So it is really helpful to have with me.

Why did I chose my career?

I started to get interested in Psychology around my lasts years of school. During many years, I wanted to be a doctor. I used to love science: Physics, Chemistry and Biology were subjects that I used to study with a lot of energy. I thought that it would be helpful in the future, if I wanted to be a doctor. And when I was a child, I wanted to be a veterinarian, because a used to love animals and the scientific work. But in my lasts years of school I started to have some kind of philosophical interests or more humanistic and social interests. Because of that, I didn't have too many clarity about what I was going to do with my future. My interests changed a lot. In that moment, Psychology appeared as a good option, because my intellectual interests were coherent with the kind of topics that you can study in Psychology. Besides, with this career I have the opportunity to do something meaningful with my job in the future. 

I remember that, when I applied to the to the university, Psychology was my only option. I also putted Anthropology as another option, but I knew that I really didn't wanted to study that. I also remember that I had to determine what university was going to be my priority. I decided to apply to Universidad de Chile, mainly because it was cheaper than other universities and because I thought that it was a good university.

Until now, my experience  at the university it's been great. I have learned a lot of things and I have made great friends. My experience in here has been really enriching. And, for now, I want to be a clinical psychologist. I don't know if that is what I want to do for my entire life or for a lot of years. But I know that I want to have that kind of academic training in this moment.
