Summer plans

Ever since I turned 18 years old, I have always worked. Once in McDonald's, the next year I worked in a Restaurant located in Viña del Mar, and the next two summers, I worked in a neighborhood local. This year, I would not like to work. I would like to enjoy summer vacations.

I have always found that The South of Chile is very beautiful and amazing. The weather, the villages, the woods, the animals, and people especially, make that wonderful and attractive. This is the place I would like to visit; from the 9^th Region and beyond. I would like to visit Tortel, Torres Del Paine, glaciers and all the amazing places around them.
I have no problem being on my own. In fact, I find the idea very convenient. If I want to go somewhere, I will not need to ask someone. I will just have to grab my things and get on the road.

I would like to make this travel during January; and in February I would like to be with my family, in Viña del Mar. I love the weather of this city. It is not too hot and not too cold either.

I would like, during February, to learn how to swim. I would like to take advantage of the beach. And If I can, I would like also take my driver’s license too.

Postgraduate studies

Nowadays, there is a lot to learn about the area I study; Pharmacology, anatomy, and any other science related to healing the human body. That is the main reason why I think I will need to do a PhD when I finish my career in Chemistry and Pharmacy.

I would like to develop a PhD in Pharmacology, which is executed in this institution: The University of Chile. It will last three years. I think this PhD will be essential, because I would like to work in a Hospital, treating patients and their afflictions. The tools my degree offers, are not enough. There are some subjects which are not emphasized in it.

I have looked at the information about the Pharmacology PhD in my University, and I like it. I think it offers a fine study program. I have seen the Pharmacology/ Molecular Science PhD in Johns Hopkins University, too. This University has one of the biggest and the most important Hospital in U.S.A. It offers good infrastructure and major research laboratories.

On the other side, I would also like to study Medicine. I would like to be a neurosurgeon, and work hand by hand with pharmacology. I have been thinking about this idea for a long time. I like to study; it is not a problem to me. I hope I do not get tired studying so much. They are so many years.

I would like to study medicine in the U.K. I like their culture, their universities, and their way of living. It is a good nation to live in.

Health System

I have always seen myself working in anything related with health. That is the main reason why I study Chemistry and Pharmacy. When I was in High School, I did not care what to study, as long as it was related with Health. But, when I was close to apply to the universities, I found this degree and I decided to study it, because pharmacology is the main subject of any treatment

Being honest, I do not think yet that this will be the only degree I will study. I would like also to study nursery or medicine. I think these two careers could be complemented with pharmacology in order to give the best treatment possible.

I would like to work in a Hospital, a big one who attends the most quantity of patients. I think I need to work hand by hand with others professionals: surgeons, Speech therapy, kinesiology, nurses and others. I would like to be in charge of the pharmacology supplies of the Hospital.

Also, I think I would like to travel a lot, in order to getting all the necessary knowledge I will need; Treatments, technics, health public norms and policies.

About the salary, I do not think it would be a problem. Health degrees are well known in getting a good payment.

The responsibility will be enormous, I think that the fact that I will be working with people’s lives will be overwhelming at some point; but, it can be also a reason to get better in my work.
