Val´s English class

  My vacations are almost always with my family, with my parents and siblings. Because of the strikes at the U it is difficult to schedule vacations, so we go to the beach on weekends in February. Also sometimes my mom and I go alone, either to the beach or to the south to visit her sisters. We have such a good time together, we love to walk and visit craft fairs, sunbathe, dive in the sea and go out to eat and have a drink at night. She is so much fun that we can spend hours chatting and not get bored, sometimes it's already late and we don't realize it's time to sleep. Last year we went to the beach, but this time with my daughter, she was one year old and it was the first time she saw the sea. She loved it so much that she didn't want to leave, we couldn't take her out because she started crying hahahahahah it was a difficult moment for her, I had to tell her that the sea had to go to sleep, so we had to say goodbye, while she waved her little hand (at that t...

When I found out I was pregnant I started to prepare everything for the arrival of this little person, and I'm not talking about buying diapers and clothes hahaha believe me that will be taken care of by his whole family, I'm talking about preparing myself as a person and the main one to take care of him. I started first to take therapy to analyze my fears and strengths, then to prepare myself for childbirth, so I could feel confident in that process and also to study about newborn care and early stimulation. I had never felt so prepared for anything, I had everything under control, everything was going to be perfect, and what do you know, it was much better than I expected. The night of the birth was amazing, looking into my little daughter's eyes for the f...

I've been planning my postgraduate studies for 3 years now hahahahahaha yeah, I'm a bit obsessive. Since then I started working in the molecular materials lab, being a little 2nd year student. I started knowing the working methodology of a research lab and participating in meetings where PhD students showed the progress of their thesis. Then I was part of projects as big as early detection of Alzheimer's disease. My plan is to continue with the PhD program in Chemistry and do my thesis in this laboratory, which belongs to the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences of the University of Chile (from where I am writing this). I consider that multidisciplinary work is very enriching to learn new approaches to the same problem. I have a thousand reasons to do this PhD, the first one is that I love knowledge and being able to be someone capable of creating scientific knowledge and teaching it is something that fills my heart, I would also like to bring real solution...
