Non academic activities at the university

In university there is a lot of different activities you can do, there's so much of them that I don't know all of them, I always discovered something new, but the main activities are the sport ones. 

There were a few activities that really atractted my atention, like photografy or even archery, but either my schedule impided me to take them or I just was bad in them, so I thought in about take basketball. I'm not a fan of this sport, but I think is more enjoyable that the others options I had. The only problem was that I totally forgot the date when I had to thake it! Well, it will be for the next year.

I notice that people who play a sport are really into them, they always want to play a match, they know the namesof the  profesional players and watch the competitions. Maybe this is the reason the sport activities are the most popular; the fanatics always take charge of  spread the word about how great the sport they like is the best. I can enjoy a match, but I can't like a sport that much. I'm not really into them.

 I'm waiting for next year to see what activity I'm going to take.

My favourite photo.

I really like photography. I like take photos of people and landscape, but I don't like those photos where people pose for them. I like to capture the moment and see the real expression of the people in the picture; see how they really feel. Maybe it is because I like honesty.

Even when I like taking pictures, I don't really like take pictures of myself, neither that other people take one of me, but I can see the beauty of a photo of people I don't know or photos of people I know but even before I was born.

There's a photo that I really like: my mom is carrying my older brother when he was just a baby; they are in the zoo watching the giraffes, but you can´t see the animals, you only can see the expresions of amazement they have while they're raising their heads. That photo was taken by my dad in the other side of the grille. There is something in the expression of my mom and brother that I really like. It is like a calm feeling. For me it's one of those photos you can see everyday without getting tired of it.

My Future Job

When I was in school I was good in the courses I wasn´t very interested in and the classes I really enjoyed, well, I was mediocre. The only courses I liked and was good in were langueges, but I didn't know what to do if I studied something relate to them. But, since I was still in school, I didn't think about this stuff that much.
The problem was that in my last year in high school I still didn't decide what to do with my life so I took an apointment with the collegue prep course counselor. Just then, in november of last year I discovered the career i'm coursing right now: Renewable Resources. This career stand out to me because it has a lot of field trips, and honestly, working everyday in a office is a living nightmare for me. Also, the enviroment is something in which I've been interested since I was a llitle girl and this was the main topic of this engineering. Those were the reason I choose the career.
I want to travel, that's for sure, and I think studying this career will provide the opportunities to do it, even when I still don't know exactly what my future job will be. I have a few years to figure it out.

Environmental Policies

When I think about enviromental policies, I can't help comparing Chile with other countries and how behind we are in things like waste management, environmental conservation, and so on. For example, in Japan it is against the law not to recycle; you have to separate trash in plastics, cans and paper, but in Chile just a few people are concerned about its importance. We just keep adding trash in the mountain of garbage we already have and do not try to reduce it.
Another aspect that our country doesn't worry enough about, is the control of  the residential and industrial area increase. Maybe it is because the government prioritize the profits that any industry can bring to the country over the benefits that a good legislation can bring to the environment and society.
If we just sit and think the only ones that would lose with the implementantion and a correct monitoring of the law compliance are the industries, and yes, the country income would -for certain- be reduced, but Chile could overcome this decrease of income investing in new activities that would come with the environmental conservation, such as ecoturism. This way we could be an economy in harmony with nature.
