Education: The choice is yours.

Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week.

In this blog I will tell you about how I came to study filmmaker and television.



I studied in a school in the Quinta Normal commune, which was considered one of the best in the area. However, it was also considered one of the strictest and the place where students could not express themselves freely. Due it was a Catholic school, and the owners of the school had republican tendencies.

All my life I went to the same school because as I said before, it was one of the best in the commune and the schools of excellence like the "Instituto Nacional" were far away from my home. It is worth mentioning that I was one of the students with the best average of my class, I had all the capabilities to be a great doctor, engineer, lawyer, etc. Even the school counselor told me that I had the capacity for everything.

When I graduated in 2020, many people told me that I had to study. Among them my mother, who, was obsessed with the idea of me studying medicine. Also, many friends wanted me to study to be a history teacher. However, I wasn't attracted to any of those professions.

I always wanted to be a filmmaker, something I was ashamed to admit to those close to me because people think it's not a career as such and that you will starve to death working in it. But the love of film was much greater and I applied to the University of Chile

I applied to that university. Due in many rankings it appeared as one of the best in the country, I also applied because I am a fan of the soccer club. And thanks to the good average I had in school and the good score I had in the admission test, I got into Film and Television without any problem.

I am already in my second year and I do not regret having chosen it. Because in these two years I have met people who have made me feel very comfortable, I love the location of the university and there is no class that bores me.

Personally, I would recommend to all those young people who do not know what to study to be guided by what they like the most. Also, do not be influenced by others because the decisions are yours. And many times there are students who leave their careers incomplete because they do not feel satisfied with them. I am a film student and I believe this is not an easy career. It is also a career full of uncertainty about whether you will find work in the future. However, as I said before, I am  happy studying this career, and I would not leave it for the world.

 Thank you very much for reading my blog

I say goodbye being very attentive to your comments.

    Hi Sebastian, The same thing happened to me, everyone told me to study something that makes me money, I think it is something very generational of our parents who worry too much that we do the same as them many times. Thank you for telling your story :)

    Hi Seba, how wonderful that you have followed your own instinct to choose your career. It also happened to me that many people wanted to influence my decision about what to choose to study, they told me to study engineering, occupational therapy, among other things, but although they caught my attention, I felt inside that studying any of those careers was not going to make me happy. Luckily I always had the support of my mother, who didn't care what I studied, if I was happy she would be too. I'm glad you followed your dreams and are now studying something you really like.

Healthcare system: Decent health

  Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week. In this blog, I will tell you about the Chilean healthcare system and what I think about it. The Chilean healthcare system is composed of two systems, one of private character called ISAPRE and the other is a public insurance called FONASA, both systems have coexisted since the times of the dictatorship, however as a result of the protests of October 2019 and other events have been in constant questioning, due to poor care, endless waiting lists, lack of medicines, among other problems. But, what are all these deficiencies due to? First, the self-management model of the establishments, the mechanisms in which Fonasa resources are transferred to private clinics and the impartiality with which budgets are made each year for the health systems.  Second, the majority of the population in Chile is treated in the public system, because they do not have the resources to be treated in the private system, generating a collapse i...

Free topic: Violence in soccer stadiums.

Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week. In this blog, I will talk about a topic that I like very much, which is soccer. But from an unfortunate perspective that this has, as is the violence in stadiums. Soccer is a sport that was institutionalized in England with the formation of the first Football Association on the planet in 1863. However, there are antecedents about that its origin goes back to the II and III century B.C., where ancient Chinese military played it, but without the rules, with which it is known today. In our country, soccer arrived at the end of the XIX century, to the city of Valparaíso, brought by English immigrants who with impressive matches managed to enchant the locals. Shortly after this happened, a journalist and two English merchants formed the Football Association of Chile with its respective competition on June 19th, 1895. And in this way, the first clubs in the country emerged: Santiago Wanderers, Santiago National, Rangers and other te...

Politics: We should be thankful for having the right to vote.

Since our republic was established as an independent country, the way of electing authorities has been changing, it is true that at the beginning only men of the wealthiest sectors had the right to vote, but that was changing little by little until today, where everyone over 18 years of age, regardless of gender, have the right to vote. However, in these times when more people have this right, they do not take advantage of it and do not do it, affecting mainly our democracy. First of all, every vote is important, it is unbelievable, but many times just one is capable of making a big difference. Secondly, voting means power, there are many countries around the world that do not have the right to vote, because they are under dictatorships or absolute monarchies, so we should take advantage that we have the power to elect our authorities. Thirdly, if we do not vote, we may run the risk of not having good authorities or the ones that best represent our ideals. Finally the vote is relevant,...
