A subject I enjoyed studying in high school was "biology", one of the fundamental and basic sciences with a focus on the study of life and living beings, from microorganisms to macroorganisms, and everything that is related to vital processes and structure in these. The truth is that I enjoyed studying most of the topics that it includes, some of these that I learned about are, for example, genetics such as DNA and RNA sequences and their expression in the organism, the genetic code, and with this, the protein synthesis and the different types of inheritance including Mendel's laws; ecology that includes the biodiversity, energy flow, ecosystems, populations, and communities and how these interact with each other; vital systems such as endocrine system, nervous system, and others; the cell and its cycle, where mitosis and meiosis are, their structures and functioning, the mutations and biomolecules that are part of these cells. 

I enjoyed this subject because this science helps us to better understand how we are composed, what processes happen in our organism for we continue living, everything that allows us to continue existing, from the smallest to form a cell, organs, systems, and an entire organism, and not only that, other species and organisms that around us too. Then biology gives us answers to the questions that may arise how we are alive, and make us surprise and appreciate the things that we can see common and simple, for example, breathing. In this way, with biology, we study and understand everything that happens inside us so that we can do such an action that seems as normal as breathing, but that keeps us alive, this seems fascinating to me about the biology.

Before I studied biology I didn't know what it was about, because I started having biology in seventh grade and I had never been very interested in science before, and the first time that I had biology I didn't like it because the teacher taught the subject very quickly and I didn't understand it very well. But the following year, another teacher arrived, and she managed to transmit her passion for biology to me and that made me wake up an interest in this subject. So I began to appreciate how amazing biology is and I was very impressed by the first topic that I liked about it, which was the cell. 

That was all! Thank you very much for reading my blogs! Bye bye!

This is the photo that I really like. I can't remember who took this photo, probably was the mom of one of my classmates. This photo shows the travel of eighth grade at the end of the year, in 2016. Me and my classmates went to Picarquín and we stayed in some cabins. In the photo we are me and my friends, we were a group of ten girls and a friend's mom was with us. I'm the girl in the left corner, who is doing the peace sign and wears a purple jacket, I looked like a baby, like my friends. Behind us, you can see the cabin where we stayed, all ten of us slept there. Our room was a mess, but it was a lot of fun. On that journey, we played volleyball, swim in the pool, had a party, and we share beautiful experiences together, everybody enjoyed it.  I like this photo bec...

 English 3, Post 2, "Why did I choose my major (study program)?" - your dream jobs when you were a child  - other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university  - what made you decide on this major?  - your experience at the university until now  My dream job, when I was a child, was getting a job as an artist because I loved to draw and paint, this was so fun for me. I enjoyed creating characters, stories, and whatever thing that grows in my imagination. As time passes I was little by little changing this dream because I was losing the habit of drawing, then I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life until the past year.  The past year, I had to decide which career to choose, then I was searching different types of career in the field of science because I didn't know what thing I wanted, but I knew that my favorites subjects were science, especially chemistry and biology. For this reason, there were many options of scientist caree...
