Changes to my study programme

I studied food engineering at the University of Chile. My career has 70 branches and the duration is 5 years and one semester. As I go in the second year, I can’t speak as changes in general, only changes of branches and situations that I have lived, one of these is to modify two branches that are taught in the first year, which is an introduction to engineering in food I and II, which I believe is a very important branch, which I consider to be a very important branch, but that with a semester is sufficient, the other change that I would add to that branch is a new curriculum, that is something more didactic and innovative, that calls the attention of the students

In my faculty I find that he lacks more affection, so to speak. I feel that the facilities are not adequate and the spaces to have "university life" are very lacking, at the same time, a better library is missing, that has everything necessary to carry out a good afternoon of group study and I say in a group because one of the most positive aspects is that in my faculty there are individual study rooms that are the best, They are air-conditioned, they have a plug, they are clean and the schedule is very good, since we have the facility that they open the rooms at six in the morning and close them at nine, giving us a flexible and adequate schedule.

Regarding teaching methods, it can be said that some teachers have good methods and other bad methods, but this happens everywhere, however I feel that all teachers should have good teaching methods and be willing to teach.

My faculty is not the best to be honest, but things have changed between my first year and the second, now we have grass and soon they will open a new building designed for us students, but hopefully place more innovative facilities that serve us much more, as a suitable place to have lunch, since in winter it is difficult to have a place to have lunch, among other things, I hope that over the years future students can enjoy a better environment than I am living. In truth, these changes go hand in hand with technology, nobody knows if the day of tomorrow the classes will be only online or maybe now they are holograms or that in the laboratories there are more robots than people. I just hope that future changes are positive.

One of the most positive things that can be appreciated in my faculty thanks to technology, is that each room has a DATA and that gives us the facility for the teacher to explain the subject and we take notes on the slides.

In my opinion...

• What is your opinion about violence on television?

I think that by showing violence on television at times not suitable for adults, is to incite violence in people. For example, imagine a nine-year-old boy watching a program on TV and showing scenes of violence, this child may associate violence with normality or associate that he must be violent. Now if they show violence at adult hours, I think it's okay, because adults must be mature enough to create an opinion if what they observe is right or wrong.

• What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets?

This is a subject that I like to discuss, because I feel that buying animals is a profit with life. The truth is that I really hate to buy animals, because of all the animals that are in the house the vast majority end up on the street for different reasons, either because they escape, because the family must move, because there is no space, because they can’t have it, etc. However, I believe that no reason is valid, because if you take care of a pet it is because you can have it and that is why I make that decision. What do I want to get with this? Good so you're going to buy a pet, If you can give all the love and affection to one who was left on the street and perhaps what conditions had to live for the abandonment of his old home.

• What is your opinion about climate change?

I have always had the notion that climate change that is generated today is only the responsibility of humanity.  In other words, look at us! Today we no longer know what spring or fall is, the days are summer or winter. We just have to be aware and try to fix our error as human beings.

• What is your opinion about recycling?

Recycling is a good way to reduce environmental pollution, I don’t know if you do it, but in my house recycled practically since I was born, since my parents have always taught me that. However, nowadays another problem with recycling is being generated and it is that companies that recycle sometimes receive some materials as sometimes they don’t. For example, in many places they no longer receive milk packaging in boxes because there are so many (that's the reason given in the green dot, when I asked), however in other green points, if they receive them.

From cartoons, animes to TV series

When I was a little girl, I was a big fan of animes, I saw many animes like mew mew power, inuyasha, tsubasas chronicles, kamisama hajimemashita, etc. I really like it a lot, since I still see animes from time to time. Sometimes I also read mangas, in fact, I have several that I exchange with other people. Nowadays I see several cartoons with my little brother, but what we see the most are movies, I'm a big fan of training your dragon, hotel Transylvania and toy story.

Mew Mew Power

I think that cartoons have a great importance in my life, since I am very entertained when I see them, I spend a lot of time seeing it and they distract me a lot. I have always thought that, when watching cartoons or movies, you put yourself in the place of the character and that at that moment the problems that this cartoon faces are your problems ...I don't know, I think I have a lot imagination.

The cartoons that I saw with my family was the pink panther, Detective Conan and The Flintstones, they gave them on national channels, so it was not very difficult to see them. I remember that every time a chapter started, my dad would bring cookies, put them in a platter and we would sit on the couch. Today we see gravity fall and star versus the forces of evil, it is very cool to see the face of emotion to my little brother when we all sit on the couch.

The Flintstones

When I'm with my friends we occasionally talk about movies like training your dragon, spirit, hotel Transylvania, the Lorax, among others. I think the area of ​​films is very broad and that's why we have so many categories to talk about, but I think we all share that inner child that likes cartoons.

If you ask me what caricature I recommend, I have a huge list, but yes or if I would recommend "The book of life", since it leaves an important moral. Another caricature I would recommend is The Lorax, I sincerely feel that this cartoon represents all the damage that the human does to the ecosystem, which leaves an incredible moral, others movies similar are "Land of bears" or "Spirit".

I hope you like the cartoons as much as I do.

Post Graduate Studies

Since I started studying at university I have always had the mentality to specialize in the area of ​​my career, it is for this reason that within my options I would like to specialize in:

• ·         Management, quality and food safety (Ma)
• ·         Natural and healthy ingredients (PhD)
• ·         Nutrition and food (PhD)

I also consider that specializing in some area opens many doors in the labor field, since today many companies prefer a professional specialized in some area.

I would like to do these studies in Chile or abroad, the truth where the opportunity would be good, as long as you are satisfied with what you do. However, I would not like to study at a distance, since I learn more in classes, I like university life, meet people and face new challenges.

Some Ma offer different schedules, so that your studies do not interfere with your work, that is quite good, since having more options, opportunities grow.

Now finding out about Mas and PhDs. I must share my new knowledge and I did not know that I could get a degree and then do a master's degree or a doctorate and the truth is that I would consider it a very good option.

The reasons why I would like to continue studying are many, but within those reasons it is because I want to travel, to know different parts of the world. Also, I would like to help my parents financially and support them with my little brother.
