Hello, today I will talk about the changes to my study programme. First of all, I am a dental student at the University of Chile and I am in my second year of my degree. The truth is that it hasn't been easy at all and I've still had good and bad moments. This career has a duration of 6 years, I think it is too much, but at the same time I think it is good, because we work with people's health, so we must be very well prepared. The subjects we have are all about health, such as anatomy, histology, biology, simulations, and many others. We have a lot of academic load and some subjects are more difficult than others, so they must be studied differently and dedicated to different times. The infrastructure of the faculty is good, but it could be improved, how to have more tables in the cafeteria, more green spaces, improving the clinic and more spaces to rest, because there are times when we have "windows" of many hours between the subjects. And finally about the use ...

I would like to travel to the future, more precisely in 20 more years, because I would like to know what my life will be in the future, if I managed to fulfill all my dreams. For example be a so good dentistry or travel around de world with my family and my friends.  I would also like to know how is the planet, what happened to climate change and pollution, how is the technology, robots dominate the world?, scientists will have discovered remedies or treatments for terminal illnesses?, among many other questions. I wouldn't travel to the past because I think that everything happen for a reason, so I couldn't change nothing. And if I travel to the past, I most likely want to change something and I don’t resist, so to prevent that from happening better I don’t travel to the past. In addition, the past can be known through books, research, studies, also from the experiences lived by relatives and by ourselves (you can’t know everything, but you can know several things). Although I...

When I was a child I had many dream jobs, such as being a chef, veterinarian, ballet dancer, kinesiologist, but the two jobs I had most in mind were being a costume designer and a doctor, to finally decide to be a dentistry. Of the two careers I had most in mind the first was costume designer, because when I was a child and watched movies like Club Winx, the Barbie's movies and Monster High I loved the style of their clothes and dreamed of making something similar. Then when I grew up I realized that I wanted to dedicate myself to the area of health and what caught my attention was medicine (at that time I had forgot the existence of dentistry), but some time later I asked myself if I wanted to study medicine and be a doctor for the rest of my life and I realized that I did not see myself being happy. I even imagined different specialties, but none convinced me or was what I wanted to do. I worried about not having a career in mind, I only knew I wanted to be in the health area, bu...
