FCQyF Level 4 - 10, 2022

 Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about time to travel to the past or to the future. In my case, I would like to go to the past, to be able to go to the handball championships in which I have participated, since I would relive situations that have been very important for me.  Handball championships have been present during all the years that I have practiced this sport, so they have had a great importance in my life. In each of them I have learned something, either to improve individually or to improve as a team. They have also given me the opportunity to forge links with many people, such as players from other clubs all over Chile and even outside of it. But I don't think I have given them all the importance they deserve, so I would like to go back to many of the championships I have participated in and relive each experience to the fullest. The year to which I would go back to relive these experiences is 2017, since in this year I had great adventures, the first cham...

Hello everyone! Today I will talk to you about my dream job, the truth is that I have never consciously asked myself this question, since I try not to think long term. But I think that one of my dream jobs would be to exercise my university career being in a laboratory creating dermo-cosmetic products. I imagine this job to be very peaceful, but it also requires a lot of organization and knowledge. As I study Chemistry and Pharmacy I know that in the future I will be able to work in many areas as a pharmaceutical chemist. This is one of the big reasons I have taken into account to choose this career. So I don't think that finding a job will be a problem, since there are multiple surveys done in Chile that show that in Chile it is one of the careers with the highest percentage of employability. But finding a job in this specific area (creation of dermocosmetic products) may take longer.  As for the salary in this specific job I don't know how much money you can earn, however, I ...

 Hello everyone! Today I will tell you about something very exciting for me, it’s about the best concert I have ever attended. I went to see Radiohead at the Estadio Nacional in 2018, a band from England, for me the best art rock band I’ve ever heard in my entire life.  This band was formed in 1988, was born by the union of Thom Yorke (singer and guitarist) and Colin Greenwood (bassist) with the intention of forming a group. After a while Ed O’brien (guitarist), Phil Selway (drummer) and Jonny Greenwood (guitarist and keyboardist) joined the band, that is to say, each member of the band occupies an essential and distinctive place. Their discography consists of nine studio albums, 26 singles, 6 EPs, a live album and a compilation album. The concert lasted about 2 hours, the atmosphere was like being in heaven, I remember looking around and seeing everyone crying and having the best time of their lives just like me, it seemed unreal. It really was a moment full of emotions that ...

 Hello everyone! Today I will tell you about my goals of living abroad in a few more years. When I am already graduated from my university career, Chemistry and Pharmacy. The country I would like to travel to is Spain, because it is a goal I have always had in mind, since I was a little girl. What I know about Spain is that its native language is Spanish, so it would be easier for me to communicate, which would not cause me such a big culture shock. Likewise, their food has certain similarities to that of Chile. It is a country of great cultural heritage, so I would like to visit them and keep a souvenir of each of these great attractions, either a photo or something similar. I would also like to tour many of its cities, as each one has a characteristic essence. And being a country in Europe, it is extremely close to other countries such as Italy, France and Germany, which I could visit only by traveling by train.   I have found out that the study plans of the Chemistry and Ph...

  Hello!  Today I am going to tell you about the first female pharmaceutical chemist in Chile, Griselda Hinojosa.  She then entered to study Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Universidad de Chile, where her university career was not without setbacks, since in the final stage of her training she failed. However, she  managed  to graduate on December 4, 1899. After leaving the university, she formed a partnership with Percival Rojas to lead the "botica y droguería copiapo". Then, together with her husband, she founded the farmacy “Manuel Antonio Matta”.   Researching about her I realized that I feel a great admiration for her, because she was part of the first group of women to obtain a university degree in Chile. And although she failed in her final year of college, she didn't give up and did it all over again until she graduated.  The greatest contribution she has made for me is that of having forged the foundations for women in this school stage. Thanks t...

 Chemistry and Pharmacy is a career that affects the health area throughout the world, since it is a speciality that is mainly responsible for the development, formulation, dispensing of multiple drugs to the population. The career of chemistry and pharmacy has multiple areas of work, where you can work in pharmacies, hospitals, clinics and laboratories. However, I see myself working in a laboratory, contributing to the research of new molecules and formulations of different drugs. And also on a day-to-day basis, encouraging my immediate family to consume medicines appropriately and responsibly. My specialty contributes to the world by improving people's health through the creation and dispensation of different medicines, thus making a contribution to the fight against various viruses and diseases. In this way, it also contributes to generating new knowledge about the effects that these drugs can have on people's health. Thanks for reading, see you in the next blog!
