Why I chose my program?

When I was a little girl I wanted to study Visual Arts, Philosophy, History, Music or Psychology, I liked all of those fields, eventually I choose Arts (specifically Visual Arts) because I thought that this career kind of encompasses all of the subjects I mentioned before.
All my life I needed Music attached right to my mind, I thought of it as the better company to my daily life, so when I was 17 I began to practice Flute, and when the time of the career decision came, Music was definitely one of the options, besides, I think it's very important in the construction of one's identity.
I choose Arts because of the reasons I mentioned before, and because I've been drawing and painting since I was very little (between 4 or 5 years old), so I thought at the moment of the career selection, that it was the right option.
When I was 17, I worked at a supermarket, so I had my savings to start financing my incoming college life (I had the help of my parents' money too), so I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina to study Visual Arts, I went to Universidad de Buenos Aires first, then I left it for a better one, to Universidad Nacional de las Artes. I spent 5 years on that country, until 2017 that I returned to Santiago, Chile.
I decided to continue my studies in Chile, because the economic crisis situation in Argentina became something very unsustainable and damaging to my finances and my physical and psychological integrity. So I began a process of career recognition between Universidad de Chile's Faculty of Arts and my academic history at Universidad Nacional de las Artes.
So now, in 2018 I began my studies in Plastic Arts here at the faculty, and it's been a good semester all around, I like the education I've been receiving and the friends I've been making. A good experience indeed.
I like Museum Curation as a field I want to explore more, so it's definitely my option as a work, besides, I want a full studio to work with my audiovisual projects. I want to work in Europe eventually so all of my plans for the future go there.
