  I’m studying Engineering in Natural Renewable Resources. And I’m going to start talking about my experience with the career program. In the second semester I failed Calculus II, since then I’ve been doing some crazy stuff to be able to course some subjects. Like sending 30 mails to our career chief for him to add subjects in the semesters that does not have them available, luckily it worked! The reason I did this was because since 2021 a new career program has been added, so if we fall behind, we will be forced to change our career program between the old one (our current program) and the new one. This is a big problem because if it happens, since there are different subjects in each program, the ones that aren’t repeated would’ve been passed in vain. With this said, I would give more flexibility between the programs, giving the students the opportunity to take new and old subjects. I would also invest more resources to let the students take any subject in any semester, by adding tea

I don’t like the idea of going into the future. It gives me anxiety. I think that even the short-term future has bad things awaiting us. However, if I had the obligation to choose a specific time into the future, I would choose about 30 years into the future. Just because it gives me curiosity to think about the global scenery that I’ll be living as a grown adult. I can’t help thinking about bad things like global warming, global hunger and the massive extinction of species, wich already are serious problems and if we continue like this as specie, they will cause the end of our planet. So, you can guess that I wouldn’t like to stay in that future at all. Speaking from a personal perspective, I think that we can’t succeed on saving the planet with our current economic system. I’ve spent some of my free time thinking about ways to solve some environmental problems, but when I research about it, they usually have an economic reason that does not allow its implementation. Nevertheless, I

I’m studying Engineering in Natural Renewable Resources. You may think I have a notion of the job I want to work on because of the career I am studying. But that is not the case. At least I don’t have a concrete idea so far. I would love to work with things related to nature, like taking care of endangered species or something like that. Neverthless, i do know that I would rather an outdoor job much more than an indoor one. On the other hand, I don’t want to work outside the country. But I am open to have learning experiences in other countries, like an exchange or to specialize in a foreign university. Right now, I am not sure of the master's degree I want to have, but I do want to study one because my career is very “general”. Which is a good thing in certain way, at least for me. Since I am not sure of the job I want to work on, the fact that my career provides a lot of possibilities is something that lets me take the decision on the road. And that is what I am up to! To disco
