Milan, etc., but later my dog ​​got sick and I wanted be a veterinarian. That was my only option until I reach the last year of school where my chemistry teacher attempt to study chemical convens me that would be very good and I would go very well but preferred to follow my dream.
Once it comes to university I discovered that my decision was the right’ve lived and learned too much in one year, I'm perfectly happy going to university. My teachers are great and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

In the future I want to work with cows, on the part of meat productions. Then able to have my own business where the animals have a good quality of life before being slaughtered for our consumption, then do teaching at the University to create better professionals that contribute to animal welfare.

Post Nº5 My favorite animal

My favorite animal is the "King of the jungle" and a symbol of the Universidad de Chile football players, my favorite animal is the lion.

The lion is one of the four big cats in member of the family Felidae. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, while lions do not typically hunt humans, some have been known to do so Wild lions live in Africa, Asia and India.

I love lion because they are beautiful and impressive animals, and symbol of bravest and majesty.
See you in my next post, regards.
