This career (Session N°2)

Why did I choose this career?

I have to say that this was no one childhood idea, permanent in my mind through my school days. Actually, art was something that always I had in my life, but not something that I considered for my “profesional future” in my first years. It was an activity in my days, I really liked it, but I believe I don’t given it the weight I give it now. My ideas of what I want to become go by been a pediatrician or scientist (in primary school), to study things that I just want (in secondary school), like English language, Spanish language, Literature, Psychology, History… not so sure if in that careers I will become a “profesional” or a teacher (I believe that change of perspective was for the movilizations and riots of 2011, when I was in my first year of secondary school, a really important year for me).

So, I was really confused. Just months to give the PSU, and I didn’t know how, in this system, I'll be what I want to be. My interests where in music, in drawing, in books, in the movies… so many things I want to do and I could not seen the way. Maybe sound dramatic, but when all the world is saying to you that all you really want don’t gonna drive you in any good way, that you will be poor and no really a “professional”. In the middle of all that thoughts, a friend say to me: “In what think you’re good? In what think you’re different from others?”. In my little school world, when the majority was pretty equal and flat, I thought in art.

Until this moment, this is why I’m study arts, and I really really don’t regret it. I fall in love with art.
