Why do I want to be a Vet ???

My dream jobs when i was a child always was relationed with animals, even i always wanted work in a zoo and still been one of my first options at the date. I really love exotic animals like tigers, snakes, giraffes, bears, etc. that's why i'm here. Another dream job when i was a child was been Designer or Hairstylist because i played with my cousin like we had a Beauty Salon and i brush her hair, put my mom's makeup on her face and that kind of things. That's was really fun <3

With the step of the years i realize the idea to study Design because i draw so well, and i really get inspire when i draw something. 

This two options was all that i have to choose about which career i want to take, Design or Veterinary Medicine, both in Universidad de Chile.

After "PSU", when i saw the online results of postulation and i realized that i was inside, when i realized that i can study Veterinary i decide: " this is what i want to be "

About my experience at University until now, i have to say that i have not tried enough about the studies. The atmosphere is so right here, the people is so sweet even when in every places there's rumors or fights. Wherever, that's fine to me.

As i said before, the kind of job i would like to have is in a zoo or working with horses. Horses are one of my favorites animals and will be a bless work with them.

My Song ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬

Hi everyone ! Today i will show you one of my favorites songs c: 
The song that i choose to share with all of you it's called "No" by Shakira from "Fijación Oral" Album.

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll,  the woman named "the hottest artist of the history" by  Los Angeles Weekly is one of the most famous latinoamerican (Colombia) singer-songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer and model Born and raised in Barranquilla.

Her music is a kind of pop, but also mix styles from different South American countries. A perfect example is the song "Objection" a style of fast-paced ballroom dance that originated in Argentina, which also combines elements of rock and roll. The uptempo track features a guitar solo and a bridge in which Shakira delivers rap-like vocals.
 
I choose "No" because it's a ballad very emotional song and full of feelings. Personally, in the last time i've been living difficults moments and this song describe them so well.
"No" it's about get going with your life even when you are in a hard situation, in this case a brokenheart (yeah, it's so sad...Anyway)

The song says that you have to think about yourself and in second place in others, i know that it's hard but it's so necessary don't give up..."Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más, siento que me dueles todavía aquí, adentro♫" It means that is hard set you appart of the person that you love but also hurt you. That's what really makes me feel this song... the passion in her way to sing, the pain in her voice makes me feel how difficult its been in this situation.

Lyrics

No, no intentes disculparte,
No juegues a insistir
Las excusas ya existían antes de ti
No, no me mires como antes,
No hables en plural
La retórica es tu arma más letal

Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más
Siento que me dueles todavía aquí
Adentro
Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es
Romperle el corazón a alguien así

(Chorus)
No se puede vivir con tanto veneno
La esperanza que me ha dado amor
no me la dio más nadie
te juro, no miento
No se puede vivir con tanto veneno
No se puede dedicar al alma
A acumular intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento

Espero que no esperes que te espere
después de mis 26
la paciencia se me ha ido hasta los pies
y voy deshojando margaritas
y mirando sin mirar
para ver si así te irritas y te vas

Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más
Siento que me dueles todavía aquí
Adentro
Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es
Romperle el corazón a alguien así

(Chorus)
No se puede vivir con tanto veneno
La esperanza que me dio tu amor
no me la dio más nadie
te juro, no miento
No se puede morir con tanto veneno
No se puede dedicar al alma
A acumular un intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento

No se puede vivir con tanto veneno...
No se puede vivir con tanto veneno...
No... no...
No

Expressing Opinions ...

My opinion about:

.-Science fiction films
I really love films, even more than books because i think than human mind it's so creative and thats why you can image that you're the main character and feel the experiences that you're reading, but that one person acting makes you feel that kind of emotions it's so interesting for me (:

.- Tattos and Piercing
I think that kind of accesories in your body are not necessary to show you're real beauty, but when they have a reason or meaning it's so beautiful and that's why i'm going to make a tatto on my back (:

.-Facebook?
Facebook it's considerate for some people such a dangerous plataform because you don't know how are you talking with and everybody can see your personal information. I agree with that, but also think that is an easy way to conect with people in different places of the world.

.-Same sex relationship

Some time ago when you saw a same sex relationship, so many people used to say "That's wrong!" but in this days the reallity changes. I belive that it's beautiful find the choosen one person for you, no matters the sex, just love. Everyone must be loved <3

.-Organ donation

I'm agree with this and my opinion is that (in the Chilean's case) we have no conscience of what a life means. If someone you love dies, they're organs could save the life of someone how needs them, and also you can see that inside the person you help, still a piece of the person you lost.

   

                                                                                              Good Luck ! <3

My Autobiography

Hi everyone (: let introduce myself...

My name is Nazla Villarroel Guerra and i'm 18 years old. I was born in San Bernardo, Chile and is the place where im living actually with my mom and dad, i have no brothers.
I went to "Instituto San Pablo Misionero" school in San Bernardo and now i go every single day to Universidad de Chile... I'm proud to say "I'm studying Veterinary Medicine" .

I really love animals, and the reason because i want to be a veterinarian cames from my childhood. When i was younger, i had a cat called "Melody" (even when it was male, so funny) and suddenly get sick. The pain in his eyes keep holding on my mind and that's was the moment when i decided that i really wanna help animals.

I'm a quiet person and so honest to say the things that i don't like, that's why some people think that i'm annoying sometimes. You can think anything about me, but when you really know who i am you will make count that im so friendly (: 

I like all kinds of music, but almost the time listen pop and electro music... I really love Rihanna, David Guetta, Maroon 5, Avicii, etc. 

My dream after become a succesful veterinary is traveling around the world and live in places like Paris, London and Dubai, places where the people is very different about the chilean persons.

I hope you enjoy my Autobiography...
                                                                      Good Luck and Save the Nature <3
