My Favourite Technological object

Personally, I´am not aware of technological advances. But, I recognize that the technological advances have changed our lives. In the orchestras are very conservative and has very little technological advances. One of my favourite object when I play the Violin is the Digital Tuner. In 2008 my father gave me a turned when I started studying music.
The Tuner is placed in the on the upper bout or in the scroll of the violin. I play a string with the bow and the tuner indicates if it is tuned or not.  I use the violin tuner every time I practice and when I have a concert. I like to use because facilitated the study and avoids that the tunning of the instrument be incorrect. The tuning is very important in the orchestra because the concertino (the principal violinist) is in charge of tuning all the instrument of the orchestra, and because of that the tuning must be perfect!
Without this object, tuning would be a more time-consuming and complex process.

The reason that I study Dentistry

I love to study dentistry very much, but throughout all these years I have had some different ideas to choose a career. When I was a child I wanted to become a doctor, but at the same time I like science. I had a laboratory in my room and created "potions" to help people, like medication. I wrote a book about my research of plants and flowers in my garden, I drew the different forms of leaves, trees, so much nature. In one occasion, I pretended to be a dentist with a teddy bear. And I liked it so much.
In 2011 I made a list with all careers in Chile, I was undecided and had curiosity for entering a university. In my options i had pharmaceutical chemistry, medical technology, architecture (I liked to draw buildings and constructions), graphic design and obviously dentistry. I didn't like the idea to study law or engineering. 
I decided to study dentistry because you can incorporate the studies of science in many areas, like biology, microbiology, pathology, physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, histology, among many others. But also odontology has the manual dexterity, is the artistic part in my opinion. I can do a lot of research and different lab tasks. And the most important thing is we can help people. Odontology has everything that I like. 
My experience at university has been so good. I know many people with the same interests like me and the university has the vision that we can improve dental health in Chile, and especially the public health, that was very impressive to me because we had so much responsibility in the future decisions of our country.  
The kind of job that I like is restorative dentistry but also i like teaching.

My Autobiography



I was born in Santiago, Chile on July 14th, 1997. My family is composed of my father Fernando, my mother Gaby (Yes, Gaby no Gabriela), my grandma Eliana and my little brother Martín, he is my best friend. I was born in Nuñoa but all my life I live in Padre Hurtado, is a little town located in the south of Santiago. First, I studied at catholic school called Benjamín Vergara up to 2011, then I went to Terraustral Oeste of 2012 up to 2015, I had good grades but I don´t like my classmates. In 2016 I study in a Preuniversitario "Pedro de Valdivia", and finally in 2017 I Can study Dentistry at University of Chile, is a dream come true for me. My brother Martín studies in a special school in Peñaflor, because he had  problems to communicate and speak, but he is amazing drawing and painting, specially cars and motorbikes. 
I have so much hobbies, like runing, listening music(my favourite is a classical music), painting landscapes, waching movies (my favourite are Star Wars movies) and playing the Violin. I started in 2008, when I have 11 years old, with a particular teacher. Actually I play in a Juvenile Orchestra in Padre Hurtado. We have many concerts in a different places, such a "Palacio de la Moneda" and the "Movistar Arena" in a National encounter of juvenile Orchestras, the best moment in my life. I play in a different events such a marriages, baptism, graduations, inaugurations, I enjoyed so much and I meeting so many friends that, like me, play classical instrument.
One of my dreams is become to a doctor and the same time study music, I can´t live without art and music. I believe that the sciences and arts can complement and both are important in the education and in the life.
