A subject that I enjoy studying

Image
It's a bit difficult choose a subject that I enjoy, as I don't have a one that I really really enjoy, but for now I'd like to talk about the subject of "Oral and Written Communication" This subject is responsible for preparing us both vocally and physically to make presentations or talks in front of an audience, also prepares us to realize more attractive and fun Power Points for all types of public or a specific public.  I’m a pretty shy person who has a hard time getting his creativity out, so this subject has helped me a lot since they give us tips to relax and feel more calm when facing the public and also give us tips when creating our Power Points to make them much more dynamic. Up to now we have done one job and I like it as each class give us a feedback of what we have done and help us to improve Is a rather interesting subject, because as I said before, it has helped me to overcome my weak points and that's makes me very happy :)

The persons I admire

Image
I don't have a person that I admire now in my field, as it  I have not yet met in depth any person in my area. So instead I'm going to talk about some very close persons I admire, my parents <3 I know that is normal admire your parents, but I'd like to tell you why I admire them. They were parents when their economic situations was not the best, so my father decided to study and work at the same time to have a better long-term life while my mother took care of my siblings and worked sporadically. Fortunately my father managed to finish his career ( actually he studied many careers jaja) and therefore the economic situation were improved. I admire them because I believe that not everyone would sacrifice their time and personal life for their family (I mean, my father, for example, worked by day and I studied by night and yet, on weekends he managed to spend quality time with his family). All their efforts have been made so my siblings and I have a full life and without bi

How can my major make the world a better place?

I'm currently studying food engineering and I personally think that this career opens a lot of doors to the future, because thanks to it we have been able to understand how food is composed and how we can get the most out of them, in the sense of making them more durable, more nutritious and satisfying. These characteristics, as I said before, open doors to the future because thanks to them we could reduce world hunger, being able to make foods with high nutritional value to reduce the nutritional malnutrition in both children and adults. On the other hand, thanks to the genetic modification of plants, we can considerably reduce the appearance of pests in fields and orchards, helping hard-working people not to lose their plantations because of them. I'm still studying so I still have to learn many of the benefits that this career brings us, but I look forward to graduating so I can make use of all the knowledge I'm learning.

 I have a lot of pictures that I would like to share with you and that remind me of very nice moments, like my study tour, a trip to the beach or a landscape, but today I preferred to share one of the most beautiful landscapes I remember witnessing up to now, the face of my beautiful Tammy <3 It's a little emotional talk about this, but I like to share with people how well it made me have this wonderful being in my life. This photo in especial  one of the most I like of her as it reminds me of the nicest moments we had together, I think it captures it's essence, I feel like I can even smell her breath haha :) I’m one of the people who believes that when someone dies they stay with us and "visit" us from time to time, so I like to believe that she’s with me most of the time <3

A meal or food I really like :)

Image
  Hello everyone!  I'm going to share with you some of the food I like and I don't like c: One of the foods I really REALLY like is the corn pie, this dish consisting of a paste of corn with a thin layer of sugar that has "Pino" (mixture of ground beef with chopped onion, very delicious) chicken, olive and egg under it. I like a lot this dish, due to the combination of flavors, but unfortunately I can only eat it in summer, because that's corn season:( Other food I like is the squash cream, especially in winter, because it is a hot plate. It consists of ground squash with cream, salt and pepper (or at least that's how I like it). On the other hand, I hate the charquicán, for me the texture and flavor are horrible. Also I don't like the carbonada, because it is almost the same that the charquicán, but without the mashed potato. I'm not the best fed person in the world, but I think I'm someone who can control and enjoy what she eats :D

My Favorite Piece of Technology

Image
I'm a person who is always using technology, technology is present everyday of my life, either the computer, the cellphone or the television, but my favorite piece of technology is the cellphone, because literally it serves for everything, for example, send messages, take good pictures, make calls, etc. Personally, I like the idea that I can do all these things everywhere and I can communicate with another person in every moment. It has been a great help not to feel alone especially in this pandemic as I can make video calls with my boyfriend or with friends and I can even play video games with them if I feel bored. Also, it helps me on the online exams as it I can download applications that serve to scan files and convert them in PDF, without the need to upload  the files to the computer or use the printer. I like to make use of technology :)

Why did I choose my major?

When I was a child, I always wanted to be part of the PDI, because I used to like the investigation and the uniforms. Later, when I was 14 years old, I knew the career of nutrition and I loved it, because in that time I used to be nonconforming with my body, so I thought that with that career I could learn about new eating habits and new healthy recipes. Finally, in my last year of school, when I realized that my PSU score would probably not be enough for nutrition, I learned about the career of food engineering, I researched a lot about the career and ended up discovering that I also liked. Even when I realized that my score was enough for nutrition, I decided to apply to food engineering. Now, I'm in my second year and I don't regret my decision, I still have a lot to learn, but I like to imagine myself in the future working this field :) I still don't know which branch I'm going to choose, but so far I like everything that has to do with the creation of new food prod
