The purest science

Today I talk to you about my favourite subject, ok, I remember that before going to high school in the primary we're studied "natural sciences", but this subject was a few of all, biologist, physic and chemistry when I started high school, I liked the chemistry, I remember my teacher when she was teaching "atoms", I was fascinated with the class, she said "everything in life is chemistry"  since this moment I loved the subject and really nowadays I think that she was right, the chemistry is always present in our life, including to cook, although I don't like to cook. Well I understand that the people that read my blog it´s my classmates and we know what's the chemistry, however if someone else's read this blog and not know what's the chemistry, the chemistry is the science that studies the properties and the behaviour of the matter, in summary, this science study all that around our.

During high school, the class were more theoretical, I did a few practical class in the laboratory, but now at the university, we have a subject that is just practice "chemical laboratory techniques" and wow it´s really amazing, I feel that if we put in practice our theoretical knowledge, we can understand much better this science. I like so much the practice class, but is important first learning the theory then apply it, for example when we do a titration, extractions, purifications, etc.

Really I think that the sciences it's very interesting and important for me because it's can help us to understand the natural, chemical, biological and physical phenomena that happen in the world and the universe. 

Today I want to remember my chemical teacher's of high school that thanks to them I can choose my career and I hope that they can help many other students to make a good decision when choosing their future.

A rockstar of astronomy

To long of the time there have been great minds that they´ve helped us to know and understand the world actually, some important thing to mention are Marie Curie, she was physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity, Antoine Lavoisier, the father of the chemistry, Albert Einstein really a genius, Stephen Hawking and your contribution for black hole, and well as many others.

Nowadays I talk to you about a scientist actually that I admire a lot, He´s José Maza, well José Maza Sancho was born in 1948, He is a Chilean astronomer and astrophysicist, his work has focused on the study of supernovas, the execution of a search for objects with emission lines, dark energy, and quasars with an objective prism, which led him to be awarded the National Prize for Exact Sciences in 1999.

Apart from being a professor and being a member of the Center for Astrophysics and Related Technologies (CATA), he has given astronomical talks to young people to get them interested in science, one of which he did at the boarding school in which he studied. 

Every time I get a chance to attend your talks, I don´t miss them for nothing. in summer I had two week of class with José Maza in the University of Chile, he has been write 3 book of scientific disclosure, "Somos polvo de estrellas", "Marte: la proxima frontera" y "Eclipses", all it´s excellent books, and the best is that every one of them can be understood by all the people.

I admire to José Maza because we´re live in a country where the disclosure for the science is ignorated or just don´t talk about it, and José Maza has been able to spread the science for children, young and adults across the country.

Finally I recommend read the books of José Maza for all those who have interest in astronomy or really for all the people.

Love of my life

my cat

I love animals, all my life I have been a lover of the animal so it´s no surprise that during my 18 years I´ve adopted many pets. I love my pets, when I was a boy, I have a dog, its name was "topo", I liked to take him for a walk, we ran together all over the park, Topo would accompany me to my  school and then go home, one day, while I was in school, Topo ran away from home and when it was across the street, it was hit by a car, I remember when my mom told me what had happened, I cried a week completely, one year later I had 2 cats, at this moment I discovered my love for these animals, I love cats because they are like me.
Nowadays I have 6 cats, their names are: "Luna", "Newt", "Higgs", "Violet", "Severus" and "Tom", they are my life, my happiness, the reason of my existence (dramatic), well, there´s nothing I wouldn´t do for them. I had my first cat since 2014 then my family and me we´re adopting more kittens. Unfortunately, today my family won´t let me have any more cats :( but I understand the reasons.
I love my pets because they´re always there to keep me company and every night they sleep with me.

My favourite photograph

My favourite photograph is of my first day of class in the INBA a year ago, this image it´s very important to me, because it was my last year in that uniform that accompanied me for 4 years.
just by looking at this picture, it comes to mind all the good memories that left me that place.
this photograph was taked for a friend that had a proffessional camera and he was in the photography workshop. in the photo you can see the logo on the uniform of the school where i studied, the INBA (Internado Nacional Barros Arana).
this photograph was taken on march 5th of 2018, while we were in the formation of start of year, waiting to sing the national anthem and the school anthem.
Another reason why I like this photo, is because I think about the responsibility of wearing that logo, as one verse of the anthem says, "good children will be first, citizens consent later".
Nowdays i remember all the good values tha i learned and and how much ther´ve served me now in the university.

Literature and cine in my life

The literature has been one part very important in my life, when i was a boy, i don´t have many friends, so i found through of the books that were in my house a whole new world, if my memory  don´t fail, the first book that i read was "Harry Potter and the philosopher´s stone" of  J.K Rowling, and i love it, when i was 11 years old, i dreamed that i would get the letter of Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry, now I´m 18 years old and i still believe that my letter was lost. well in summary during my infancy the Harry Potter books was my favourite saga, because it gives you to know a fantastic world full of magic and adventures. everything a child likes.
As a teenager i started to read more narrative genres, i read drama, novels, romance, horror, and mystery, i read all the books of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "Sherlock Holmes" it´s amazing, the books, films and the serie of Sherlock it´s all very good. Other books that was very attractive for me it´s "a clockwork orange"(Anthony Burgess) "the house of the spirits" (Isabel Allende), "The tunnel" (Ernesto Sabato) etc. 
Moreover the films have marked most of my life, but if i had to choose one, "the godfather" this film is really a masterpiece from start to finish, it´s a representation incredible of the life of the mafia in USA of this time. 
Generally i don´t go to the cinema, because i hate to the people that doesn´t let you see the movie quietly, especially when they carry children. for is i prefer to watch movies in my house with my friends
All this books and the film, I recommend them as they are true works able to enter your mind and make you think the reality that you live.

my career, my desision


Well, today I will tell you about how I came to choose my career. The truth was not easy, in fact during these years there were many careers that I liked and did not know which to choose, when I was a child, 10 or 11 years old, I wanted to be an astronaut to travel through interstellar space, yeah… are dreams of a Little boy... before going to high school, I had the idea of being teacher of math, because I liked being able to help my classmates in this subject, and above all I liked to teach.
During high school, I discovered I wanted to devote myself to the exact sciences, like chemistry and biology, that helped me to know my love and passion for chemistry, during those years I thought in careers like engineering in chemistry, environmental chemistry, medicine and finally chemistry and pharmacy, I chose the latter because in this career we have the capacity to help society, in the area of ​​health, making known the good administration of medicines.
My time at the university has been very good so far, I have met very nice people, with whom we have helped this first year, even so I hope to meet more people of the university to form new and good friendships.
When I finish my career I would like to work in the clinical pharmacy area to belong to the medical team in patient help, or dedicate myself to the investigation to the pharmaceutical sciences.
