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 respectful way, from this it is possible to build a
better future in which everyone can be heard.
In the process I see myself
very motivated to learn as much as possible, to be able to get involved with
people and be able to have an active participation in multiple causes, although
for now I am interested in childhood and education, I do not deny that this can
change or expand in the future.
Empathy is very important when practicing anthropology!
