A subject I enjoy studying

 

Astronomy is one of my favorite subjects to study, this is a science that studies the celestial bodies of the universe such as planets, satellites, comets and asteroids. It is also interested in interstellar matter such as stars, nebulae, galaxies and dark matter. Perhaps one of the most interesting topics studied is related to extraterrestrial life. In short, astronomy is the science of the physical universe at the macro level that studies the events that occur in it.

Since I was very young, I had always liked mathematics and when I entered high school, they started to teach us Physics. From the first moment I was fascinated with the physical explanations about how the world worked, but unfortunately at school we never got to pass subjects related to astronomy. So, in the summers, due to my enchantment with physics, I started to research and learn a lot about astronomy, until in the summer of 2017 I took a "Planetary Sciences" course. From that I fell in love with the subject, at first, I thought that astronomy was just looking at the sky and drawing stars to name them, but as I was learning I understood that it is a much more complex subject, and it is strongly related to mathematics and physics. From that I learned a lot about how the planets are formed, their characteristics, what is necessary for life to exist, the development of the stars, the movement of the stars and how to identify them in the sky, in addition to improving my mathematical knowledge, I learned new formulas and functions.

I think what I like the most is that it is very satisfying when you can understand some astronomical theory and see how it is intertwined with other theories that allow you to understand how the world works, from the simplest to the most complex. Besides the fact that looking at the sky is very nice; I like to think about everything that is out there and that we are not as big as we think we are.

    I really like astronomy, although I have many books on scientific dissemination, when the physical and mathematical part comes I don't understand anything jaja

    astronomy should be taught in school, it's unfortunate.

    it is incredible the interest that awakens in many of us the knowledge of the universe, but I also love to be able to relate it to what happens on earth, very good blog.

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better

  I am studying anthropology, I think one of the reasons why I chose this career is because since I discovered its existence I thought it was the way in which I could make a contribution to society. I consider that motivation and vocation are the most important things to be able to make a contribution with the work I will do in the future, and I hope that anthropology will allow me to do so. I believe that anthropology in essence allows us to expand our way of seeing the world, allows us to put ourselves in the place of the other, and indeed to be more empathetic with others. It is from empathy, I believe, that changes can be initiated; it is vital to understand the ways in which others live in order to be able to help them effectively. In the case of archaeology, I really like the idea of being able to reconstruct the past, and give voice to many events, people, groups that have been ignored until now. In short, anthropology provides multiple tools to understand others in a respectf

Blog Post 6: English Language Challenges

  It's amazing how time goes so fast, I'm finishing this level of English and it passed very quickly. I think it's a little difficult to say about my general experience learning English at the university, because due to the pandemic I did the first level completely online, and this semester we had a few face-to-face English classes, but then we returned to the online modality. Definitively, the online experience is more difficult than learning the language in face to face, when having online classes it is more difficult to concentrate because of the distractions of the house or the bad connection. In contrast, from the experience with the face-to-face classes this year, I feel that I learned much more than last year, I also feel more involved with the course, and I had a lot of fun. With respect to the use of blogs, I consider it an innovative strategy to evaluate knowledge, since it differs from the typical classroom test with paper and pencil answering questions. I
