Well, how I got here? I always liked the theater, not just acting, all about theater, but everyone say to me that it isn´t a good career and I will don´t have a good future because in Chile is very difficult be artist, and they have reason, this career can be fun but then, when I must working maybe I haven't so much money or I don't have work, despite this I decided came to Santiago to the special test for enter to theater in university of Chile because I think that I would have more option of work, but like one week before of the special test I regretted to go, maybe because the social pressure was so much. as I has lost my opportunity I said that I would study theater design, but it isn't well know career and anybody supports me, I searched other option, and I think in my abilities, I’m good in math, art, history, so I decided study architecture, because this career had these subjects or a little bit each of these subjects.
My family
support me, and they was very happy because finally i had decided, they think
that architecture is a good career and then I will have a good future but it’s
a stressful career, they always trust me and say that I can do it.
The first days in
here a felt sad, because I missed my family (I’m from Santa Cruz, sixth region),
in the university I felt out of place, I wasn’t sure if this career was for me
or was that I really I wanted for the rest of my life and I cried because I was
afraid. And now I’m afraid to, not so much like the first week but it’s difficult,
the university is very different of school, you have more freedom and nobody
say you if something are bad, you are responsible of yourself. I know that it’s
necessary for the future and I do it, although it be difficult and exhausting,
and math are complicated and I don’t have time for doing things that I like, I give
time to the career and I wait to finish this.
That's a very interesting story! I hope you like the career so you can be an awesome arquitect when you finish
ReplyDeleteI think it's very sad that you are here not because this was your first option, but because the social pressure made you have to take architecture as your carrer. You may be happy with it in the future, you may even love it with time, but i think you should give a try to your real desires. Maybe not in the professional way, just like a hobbie or being part of a group of theater. We are young, and we are here to live our own life, not the one that our parents want us to have.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion you can choose the architecture for the first career and then start to study theater, my girlfriend has the same problem with that :/
ReplyDeleteI ever had been one of that people that think the dreams are first... But I respect soo much your point of view about the carreer that you choose study and I give to you all the best wishes and the energy to face this new experience that I wait you enjoy! Get lucky!

What a difficult decision you have made. I hope everything is OK for you. Remember: In English the word "career" has to do with professinoal experience, not with studies. You need to edit your text in a better way.
