A PHOTOGRAPH THAT I LIKE

 

Hello, it was hard for me to choose a photo that I like since I have too many photos with very nice memories, but this time I wanted to choose a more personal one where I felt free and very happy.

This photo was taken by me in May 2021 at Av. Andrés Bello in Santiago de Chile, where it shows people doing sports activities, such as jogging, rollerblading or cycling like me. I really like this photo, because I feel that now in a pandemic it is one of the activities that I like to do the most, in which I feel free to walk the streets of the city without so many vehicles and with beautiful views.

I always try to ride my bike on weekends, to be able to discharge all the stress that is generated during the week with online classes or other things, I feel that it is one of the most beautiful activities that one can do during quarantine to be able to go out and take a breath.

MY FAVORITE MOVIE!

 

I have many favorite movies, where the vast majority have taught me a nice lesson. One of them is the movie "The sword in the stone", I like it a lot because the magician teaches King Arthur how to survive in different adversities, being a fish, a squirrel or a bird, where he shows that in each of the experiences there are good as well as bad things where you have to know how to face them, which is similar to the life of the human being, where we can go through different adversities and we must know how to survive them by looking for the best strategy to face them.

I like movies of all kinds of genres, especially those that are based on real life, except horror ones, because I get tense after seeing them, but sometimes I accompany my cousin to see them, since she likes them a lot haha

The most recent movie I saw is called "Stripe and the last dragon", it is an animated children's film that also leaves a beautiful teaching on believing and trusting people without prejudice to be all in peace and harmony, so I highly recommend seeing it as a family or alone.

I would like to see movies again, but sometimes the time I dedicate to the university does not give me to see them, but now in the week of recess I hope to see some haha.

MY FAVORITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

 

As we all know, technology is already part of our lives and is a necessary material for many people who maintain contact with their families from a distance, for teleworking and for online classes. 

Personally, I think that my favorite piece of technology is the cell phone, since thanks to it I can keep in touch with my mother who lives in La Serena and with my brothers who live abroad. I also use it to talk with my friends and know about them while everyone is at home, especially in the situation in which we find ourselves, without contact with our loved ones and distanced from people, I also like to use it for entertainment like instagram , where it allows me to see what other people are doing and also to see memes or interesting topics. One of the things I like to do the most with my cell phone is to take photos of landscapes or sunsets, but even if it doesn't look as good quality compared to cameras, it is what I have within my reach to do it.

That yes, but I am not a lot to use the cell phone frequently, but only if necessary, especially for my family and sometimes for entertainment. Mmmm My life without the cell phone would not be so terrible, but if I would not like the fact of not knowing about my loved ones, since I do not live near them

ABOUT MY STUDY PROGRAM

 

When I was a child, my dream job was to be a doctor, I always played it by scratching my twin sister as if I were operating on her, but over time I realized that I was not able to see other people's blood, so discard that option. Later, after finishing school, I wanted to study something related to the environment as an environmental engineer, but I only got enough for environmental biology at the University of Chile.

When I entered the career of environmental biology over time I realized that it was not my thing, I did not know what it was going to be when I graduated, there was also no work field in environmental sciences, so I decided to leave the career and prepare for to be able to study something that I really wanted.

I started researching a career in which I knew what it was going to be like when I graduated and where I could contribute to the community by being a professional. Until an acquaintance mentions the Food Engineering career at the University of Chile and guides me in a way that I liked the career, so I applied and was selected.

Being in this career I realized that I like it even more, especially because I am interested in doing something related to the environment, contributing from my profession. I am interested in researching food packaging in order to make them more environmentally friendly or simply contributing to human health.

My autobiography

 

Hello!

I present myself.. My name is Catalina and I was born in 2000 in the city of La Serena. When I was younger, I lived in Santiago with my mom and sister to be with my dad, since he worked in Santiago,  but a while later we returned to the city of La serena, because my dad got sick with Cancer and wanted to spend his last time there... Now I lived in Santiago again for the university.

I'm studying food engineering and I would like to specialize in the area of research and see how to improve types of packaging or products to make them more environmentally friendly and human health. It's a dream hahaha.

My family is made up of my mom, my three older brothers, Alejandro (33 years old), Maximiliano (29 years old) and Rodrigo (27 years old), then comes my twin sister and I, both 20 years old. PD: my sister is older than me for 2 minutes.

In my free time, I like to go cycling and touring Santiago, I also like to go walking and play voleyball with my cousin.. they are some of my favorite hobbies, but I can't do them because of the pandemic ;(, I also like to play ukelele and play sports at home and from time to watch series or movies. Now I like the pastry, how to make cakes of different flavors.

Another thing I can tell you, is that I've been a vegetarian for more than 4 years and I like to talk about interesting topics and discuss current events :)

Thank you for reading.
