Why did you choose this career program?

Most of my life I wanted to study law, I felt that it really caught my attention, everything that had to do with laws, justice, and just imagining the future in that career made me feel that it was what I should study. Also, that I have a cousin who is a lawyer and I felt a lot of admiration for him and for everything that he had already achieved at the time, and it motivated me even more to want to be a lawyer too. Although when I was younger I wanted to be a veterinarian, because I liked animals a lot (still) and I was always close to them, but then I started to like the law more, because I thought it was very sensitive and would suffer a lot if I had to take care of animals in in poor condition or that they could die.

All my secondary education I proposed that the PSU had to go well to be able to stay at the University of Chile in the law degree, it was the objective that I set myself, even in the fourth half I went to a pre-university and it was a quite stressful year but that it helped me a lot. When I received the result from my PSU, I felt disappointed because I had demanded too much of myself and thought that I had done better, although it didn’t go wrong, but it was due to the pressure of so long and at the same time that my parents were very excited about what I wanted to do, so it was a double pressure. At the time of applying, it was when everything changed (I don’t regret it) it gave me almost an existential crisis of not knowing what to do, and talking to a cousin he told me about the career of public administration and I was enlightened (haha), because when I was in High school was always my second option in case I changed my mind, and that's where I decided. I was so blinded by studying law that I had forgotten public administration.

Despite my great confusion, I feel that it is the best decision I could have made, because I have met very nice people at the EGGP, not only colleagues but also teachers who have made me think about the change we can make when we are already professionals. , that something not because it is in such a way should remain so, we can generate changes in the public sector either, in terms of ethics, integrity, etc. In my opinion, teachers are the ones who can be the agent of change the most, in terms of encouraging us and that we are all part of the solution. Many years ago, I didn’t feel so good, at university I was able to develop more in many areas.
