I’m studying psychology in the University of Chile. Why do I studying this career? It’s a difficult question! I really don’t know why I chosen psychology. I think I always like it, but I wasn’t sure. I was going to study architecture but I don’t know what happened, I started to lose interest and then I chosen this career although many people of my family didn’t like the idea because of the money.

Sometimes I believe that I like psychology because I see that it offers a real help for people in general and they problems. A psychologist can work with people in so many areas; they can help them with their personal problems and also in so many cases, with their social problems. A psychologist can contribute with socials tools like the ones we learn in community psychology. Society and psychology are very complicated to write about it so little time!

I think I’ll need a lot of knowledge, but also I‘ll need the skills to face the many hard stories of life, the many problems that people can get, stories that even question priorities in life.

I would like to work children and adults in clinical psychology. But by the other hand, I too like forensic psychology, so I 'll love to work in both!

I’ve heard that one thing is study psychology and other one very different is be a psychologist. If this is real, I hope I’ll be one someday.
