Why I choose to study sociology?

Imagen
Hello ! I have to confess that I'm not a such big fan of the humanities. In my childhood I was a big fan of biology and chemistry. Even in high school I was a student who belonged to the science class. I wanted to be a marine biology, because I love animals so much. But everything has changed the time I turn 16 when I started to be an activist from the LGBTQ rights in my school. I met some feminist friends who taught me a lot of philosophy and history. That's how I discovered some careers that I'm interested, like Anthropology or Psychology. But I decided to study Sociology. By far, My experience at the university has been good. I made friends who are passionate about the career and we studied together. I love learning new theories about the society ! In the future, I would like to work in an ONG specialized in protecting the rights of trans children and adolescents in the country, like OTD or Amanda Jofré.

Blog 1 - Personal Information.

 Hi there, welcome to my blog :) I'm Alicia Meza. I was born on August 22nd in Santiago, Chile. I am a member of a family of 5. If I include the family of my older sister, we are 7.  I was raised in Peñalolen with my grandmothers.  I don't like to talk about where I studied when I was on the school. But, at the moment, I am a second year student of sociology at the Universidad de Chile. Unfortunately,  everything has been online. My dad was a very popular soccer player in my community. He was part of a team called Cultural Esfuerzo. Everybody was a big fan of it.  I like some sports too. I like to do yoga, swimming and biking. Also, I love gardening. I spend most of my time taking care of my plants, and also learning about them !
