Blog 3: Architecture

Why did I decide to study architecture?

Since I was a little girl, I have liked making crafts and drawings. My dad is good at drawing and has inspired me for as long as I can remember. To put it in context, I lived in my grandmother's house. When I was eight years old, my father made drawings, plans and even a model of our future house. He is not an architect or anything, he works in Coca-Cola. Seeing that all those things he did on paper became reality in our house, I liked it, but not until I was in high school that it crossed my head to study architecture.

On average I really liked math. Besides, I was not doing badly, so I thought about studying some engineering or medicine. But I don´t like see blood. In the third half I chose a mathematical elective. I had a little more advanced mathematics and physics, but I realized that it was not my thing and I put aside wanting to study engineering.

I considered my taste for drawing and thought about studying architecture. Although I also really like writing novels and for a moment, I wondered whether to study letters or something related to books. At the last moment I decided to study architecture and looked for a good university. I stayed where I wanted even if it meant moving away from home.

I have a toxic relationship with this career, sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it. But deep down I like everything I study, and I enjoy it.
