Post 2: Why did I choose my major?

When I was a little girl I really liked veterinary medicine, I always played to ''operate" on my stuffed animals and keept them under observation, but I suddenly thought that I would not be emotionally strong enough to sacrifice a pet or operate on it in real life, so I discarded that idea. 

Then, when I started high school, I started to like the industrial engineering because i liked mathematics but then I found it a little boring; I also liked forensic medicine because I watched the series CSI, Criminal Minds and NCIS, but I had to study medicine and go through pediatrics (something I never liked). 

At the end of high school, I started to like biology and chemistry, and I started to look for careers that would cover those areas and I found biotechnology engineering, I liked it a lot because I felt that it included everything I liked but I did not have the score to enter (so sad 🤧 ) and my 2nd option was biochemistry (I also liked it a lot because I found them similar) and I stayed here and the truth is that I do not regret it, I really like what I study although it has been a little difficult to get used to the online modality, but the experience I had when I went to the lab was great and I decided that this was what I wanted for my life.

I still haven't decided which area of study I will go into, there are many, but the ones I like the most are environmental biochemistry, toxicology and protein biochemistry.
