Why did you choose your career?

This is a hard question when you are 17 years old, but when you was a child the same question seems easier.

When I was 5 years old I wanted to be a journalist because I was interested in everything around me, like world  news on TV, the meaning of people feelings, or daily phenomenas that I watched, for example: things with the plants and insects on the yard. I tried to know why happened everything.

Then I grow up and realized that journalism wasn't the better profession to choose because it doesn't going to answer all the quiestions that I had. Besides I was interested to be an international (I liked different languages) reporter, like war cover; but it was dangerous. It was a beautiful career, but not for me.

By the same time I started to be more interested in science because the most part of the time it explained why things happens. Also I knew that I liked a lot being with people and teach them because the feeling of know that someone else understood what you explained (about things that you are interested for) is amazing.

Through secundary school I liked science, specifically chemistry (and a little bit of biology). So when I was searching careers I choose Pharmacy. But also I wanted to teach. Then I get confused about my future: being a  pharmacist or a teacher.

Finally I choose Pharmacy because in the future I could work in so much places (for example: hospitals, drugstores, industry; even in other country) than being teacher.

Until now I can say that I made the right decision, I like all that I had learnt about what a pharmacist does.

After I have my degree, I will study for teaching. Then I could teach chemistry, being a pharmacist.
