Why did I choose my carrier?

Hi! Today I'm going to talk about the whole process that led me to decide that I wanted to study architecture. When I was a child I wanted to be doctor, veterinary, artist, scientist and many others professions, it was funny because every day I woke up wanting to be something different when I grew up. Then when I was about 10 years old a great interest in architecture appeared to me, I loved to draw houses and buildings that I liked or imagined and the whole theme of design and interior design, by the way I really liked crafts, my favorite subject at school was art and math so I really wanted to study architecture for 4 or 5 years until I started high school and university fairs.
 I started to like sciences like physics and chemistry a lot and I put so much effort into my academic performance that I put aside my artistic passions, that's when I decided to study civil engineering, during the first 3 years of high school I was very determined but then when the future looked closer I started to doubt, I still wanted to study civil engineering although I wasn't sure of that decision, I surrendered the psu aspiring to study that but one day before the test scores are turned in, I dramatically changed my mind, I don't know exactly what happened to me but it was at that moment that I wanted to study architecture and do what I really like.
Now I'm in my second year of the career and I really do not regret my decision, I think the faculty is wonderful and I have met incredible people, I really liked the carrier and I feel like I'm in the right place.
In the future I don't have a very clear idea of ​​what I want to do but I would like to introduce myself in the use of sustainable materials and structures and the study of new technologies and mechanisms to build, I would also love to do something about urban planning in Chile, as I think that there are many problems in this area and it is damaging our quality of life.
