When I was applying to enter university I had many difficulties in deciding what to study, my teachers knew it was going to be a problem because I was a "good student", I did well in almost everything, and that was a problem, because I didn’t know what I wanted. However, one of my dreams was to become an actress, I did some acting in school when I was very little and everyone said I was good at it, so I told my father I wanted to study acting, he wasn’t very happy with the idea. He told me that I could study acting only if I entered Universidad de Chile, because he wouldn’t pay for anything else. So, I tried to enter, I had to do some acting tests, and when I got there, I realized that everyone had been acting all their lives, and for me it was just a distant dream. Of course, I didn’t get it, I was a nobody in the area.

The funny thing is that I entered my second option, which was translation, and my third option was English pedagogy, which turned out to be my professional career. I remember that I left it as a third option because my dad didn’t want me to be a teacher, but the joke is on him. I like teaching, being in the classroom with students is fun and it keeps me young, I also translate sometimes at home, I have one client, but I always think that entering an acting workshop would be fun.
