Why did I choose my major?

 Hello again, ever since I can remember until I was 16 years old, I wanted to study veterinary medicine. I have always loved animals too much, in fact, you could say that I have a zoo in my house now. I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a hen, 3 birds, and I have had mice, a ferret, pigeon and other animals. I realized that I didn't really like the career because they touched on topics that saddened me a lot. My aunt's boyfriend, who is a veterinarian, guided me and told me about his experience studying and practicing his profession, which led me to the conclusion that studying my dream career was not going to turn out well.


So I had to find other options.

I finished high school in 2020 and decided to take a year off because I didn't know what else to study besides veterinary medicine. After researching careers related to the environment (because I have always loved nature), I became interested in agronomy. I attended several talks where I realized that it wasn't for me... but in one of them, I learned about the existence of forestry engineering. I was given a tour of the forestry science faculty facilities, which made me fall in love with the career. Before the talk, I had prejudices against it because I often heard that forestry engineers caused more harm to ecosystems because they only focused on industrial issues. But after getting more information, I realized that they teach all the topics I like: the plant, animal, and fungal kingdoms and their relationship with the environment. 😉 and they had many practices.


Despite loving the career, the academic workload from university has made me cry many times. Sometimes I have questioned whether to continue studying or not because it causes me a lot of anxiety and leaves me with no time for anything other than studying. However, as I said before, I am passionate about the subjects covered in the program and knowing that I can contribute to solving socio-environmental problems keeps me going.

My favourite piece of technology

  Hello everyone, a piece of technology that we all probably have in our backpack is… (music of tension) my beautiful friend <3 the calculator <3, I love how it solves mathematical problems very quickly that our teacher Victor Perez leaves us every Monday and Tuesday. There are several versions of the same device, different colors, shapes and functions. The one I use the most is the fx-350 ES PLUS scientific calculator, from Casio... it has helped me a lot at university, and it accompanies me on every adventure solving the famous derivatives, interesting functions, my beloved integrals, solving fractions and even contains my favorite number… the number pi, I need to tell you that I love mathematics, it is my favorite subject! The other day I had a discussion with Shakira, she insists that Casio is a very bad brand.  She hates my calculator and I don't know why sho do that.  I think it's a great brand that makes excellent calculators, with excellent   qua...

My God Guillaume François de l'Hôpital

Today I am going to tell you about a person that I admire very much:  Guillaume François de  l'Hôpital.  This gentleman was born in 1661 in Paris, and he contributes in the area of engineering in my career. He was a French mathematician of great importance in the field of calculus. His most famous contribution is the l'Hôpital's rule, is a mathematical theorem that allows evaluating limits of indeterminate forms using derivatives. Not only was he a brilliant mathematician, he also worked in the legal system. This gave him a unique perspective and to combine his knowledge in both fields. In addition to his famous rule, l'Hôpital also wrote a book on calculus in which he explains other important concepts Important contributions to differential calculus, is the most precious jewel that illuminates the path of students and of those thirsty for knowledge. Your name is pronounced with reverence and admiration in classrooms and in the minds of those...
