My dream when I was a child was to become an actress. I thought I was meant to be one 'cause I've always been a person with an artistic side and I also have a big personality. My family always encouraged me to become whatever I wanted to be in life, so I've been always supported by them.

So with all the support that I had you might been asking yourself' 'so what happend? Why is she studing to become a vet instead of studing to become an actress?' Well, I realize that my dream - even tho it was possible - wasn't so good at all. Here in Chile is really hard to become an actress and even more to be a good paid one. I'm not a material girl but in the acting world is like 'you act for a good tv show and you do a lot of money' or 'you are gonna have to live with a few plays at year and not to much money' so I decide to leave my dream behind.

I past my 4 last years of school thinking in a lot of other careers. I thought in medicine -human medicine, not veteriarian-, nutrition, kinesiology, marine biology and engeneering. But finally I decided to study marine biology ‘cause I’d always loved biology and the scientific investigation.

However I´m not studing that so what happend? Well, I realize – again – that marine biology wasn’t something steady. I mean, you only have two options – well paid – here in Chile, one is working for the salmon industry and the other is do some investigation work for an university while you teach, and even then the work isn’t something that you’re gonna have for sure ‘cause the marine biologists have a low level of employment.

So after the PSU and knowing my score I thought that I could think in another thing because of the employment rate, and then was when I thought in veterinarian medicine. Why? ‘cause it has everything that I like – contact with animals, a lot of investigation, biology – and, even tho it isn’t the career with the highest level of employment, it’s higher than all the employment levels of my other options.

Now I feel happy about my choice. I couldn’t love more my career and my campus! The only thing that I don’t like it’s this city. I mean, now I’m used to it but at the beginning I couldn’t used to the noice, the air and the crowd. But my career’s totally worth it.

I would like to work with big species like horses or cows but I’m also interested on working with sheeps - actually I’m thinking on a student exchange to New Zeland­ ­- so I don’t know what’s going to happend when I finally get my tittle ‘cause in this career you have a lot of working areas.
