¿Why I choosed my career?

I choosed Psychology because i wanted study something related to social sciences and social work. In the last year of school two teachers influenced my decision. One of them is called Cristian and is an anthropologist the another is called Jorge and is an philosopher. Both always believed that I should dedicate my career to something related to the social and social welfare matters.

Since then I knew the psychologists are dedicated in part to the clinic but also have a strong interest in the social things. I knew about Freud, Skinner, Rogers and some others but i don't knew about social psychologists. I also knew from my own experiences that psychologists help with family and judicial issues but I never imagined the strong community and social work they can do.

The main reason for entering the Universidad de Chile was to fulfill a dream of my mother. This dream was that one of her sons or daughters could enter the university that she always would/ dreamed of. Another important reason was to know the place of study that allowed my grandmother to be the first generation of women to enter to study Economy in Chile. A dream that unfortunately cut the militar dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
