A very useful website as a goodbye

Imagen
https://es.khanacademy.org/ Hello everyone, this might be my last blog:(  But as a goodbye gift I'm going to share with you an indispensable website, it is called Khan Academy,  and it is a nonprofit educational organization that offers free online educational resources for students, teachers, and anyone interested in learning. It was founded in 2008 by Salman Khan, who began by creating short, accessible tutorial videos on YouTube to help a member of his family with math. The Khan Academy platform offers a wide range of lessons and courses in areas such as mathematics, science, economics, history, art and much more. It uses a personalized learning methodology, where users can learn at their own pace and level of understanding. It offers interactive exercises, instructional videos, assessment tests, and a dashboard to track student progress. I don't use it that often but when I entered the first semester during the pandemic period it was my lifesaver and that's why it has a...

My favourite Photograph

Imagen
  Hello everyone! Today I felt like sharing my favourite photo with you all! This photo is a selfie that I took when I first went to a road trip with my friends, it shows my friends sitting in the car moments before we start the trip, the most restless and messy are in the back because I did not want any distractions because I was a little nervous, after all, their lives were on my hands haha. The photo was taken on a saturday, july 22th, 2023, we were using burger king crowns because our lunch for the entire trip was an hamburger from there, I like this picture because we all look so thrilled to be there, we were so happy, it was a good trip and we also enjoyed a lot San Antonio, that was the place we visited. I hope you can also enjoy this kinds of experiences!

My favorite piece of technology

 Even though I don’t think it is my favorite because it’s like a love/hate relationship, I would say my smartphone is my favorite and most important piece of technology, because it places very useful tools to have fun and to study all in only one device, therefore I use it for watching Netflix. I think I like to watch series and movies in my phone because the colors are more vivid, and, as the screen is smaller I don’t miss a detail of the scene I’m watching. I also use my phone for YouTube, but only in extreme cases, this is because it has too many ads. I use more YouTube on my laptop, because there I can use an adblock, the extreme cases are studiying for a test in the last minute, anyways, I also use the U-Cursos app, there I can check all the things university related.  so that's it, I think you should use it for the same, also you should play games with it, I recommend Brawl Stars.

Why did you choose to study this career?

 When I was a child my dream jobs were to be a veterinarian, a magician, an inventor, and I always played with water and soap and I liked to think that it was an experiment or a potion. When I grew up and entered high school I began to think more seriously about a career, at first I wanted medicine as every dreaming teenager in high school, then I realized it was going to be super difficult, so I began to develop this idea of liking science. I remember one class of genetics that I loved, because the idea of manipulating DNA was so cool, so I decided that it was going to be my objective in life, so I chose biotechnology, then I took the PSU, and I was chosen in the UTEM but I wanted the UCH so I took a sabbatical year and retook the PSU, in that year I realized I didn’t like math so  i wouldn’t be happy in an engineering like biotechnology, so I leaned towards a bachelor’s in biology degree, in the moment of choosing I placed this career and pedagogy in biology and chemistry in...
