My future work

I would like to work in the area of ​​research related to food. I imagine myself in a laboratory doing different types of experiments, ingeniously and questioning everything that happens around me and how to solve it. I do not like closed places but the laboratory is an exception. It would be great to travel a lot to different countries, meet them and interact with people who are interested in the same thing as me.
                           

As for the salary, it would be fine if the investigation were paid, but I think that is not the case everywhere, because the state does not finance it, so this would be a challenge, I would have to get together with other people to raise money and do the research. If it turns out, we'll have money spare.

I am studying food engineering, because of this, I imagine myself in this type of work, maybe in the future I will change my mind and do not want to work in the research area, but in quality management or being a teacher. I like this degree because it has several options in which one can specialize. 

I think maybe it will be exhausting, challenging and maybe I will not sleep thinking about the possible solutions, but I would like to have this experience, to realize that I can really help society with some food or prevent many.

Nanoparticles in food packaging

Exists is a great variety of nanomaterials in the market that include nanoparticles of titanium nitride, silver nanoparticles and nano-zinc oxide, nano-clay and nano-titanium dioxide that are present as functional additives for the food packaging industry.

These nanoparticles are of great importance in the area of ​​food and food engineering because they are perishable products and their contamination and degradation can occur at any stage of the food chain. Besides, the presence of infectious organisms in food can cause intoxication. So, it is very important to use a good quality packing material, which is safe, cost-effective and non-toxic.

Nanotechnology applied to diet is of great impact on human wellbeing because it ensures that we are consuming a safe food, which will not cause any damage to health and confidence in buying these products.

I did not know the nanoparticles until now, I knew that some packaging had properties that helped the quality of the food but not that they had nanoparticles.

I really like the subject of food packaging, which is why I chose nanomaterials that include nanoparticles that help improve the quality of food. I always think that better packaging could be made and I hope one day to create a very good one to help the environment.

My dog Doncan

A few years ago I used to have a dog called Doncan. Well, Doncan was my brother's dog because he took it home, my father and my brother gave him a name, his hair was brown with black; he was very playful and he destroyed my toys. When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I was afraid of Doncan because he could bite me. Besides, my mother didn't let me get close to Doncan, so I didn't have a dog-human friendship. I always remember that my mother passed my dummy to Doncan to stop me to using it, I felt very sad and angry because it was my favorite dummy, but since that day I didn't use a dummy again. Doncan died when I was 10 or 11 years old, we decided to bury him in the backyard in our house. After a while in the same place, different types of flowers grew. Doncan was the only pet in all my life.

I would like to have a dog if i lived alone, because in my home no one wants to have pets. I don't know if it is my favorite pet but it is the one that catches my attention, I see that my friend (Valentina) plays with their dogs, she has 4 dogs, she takes them to the park, she gives a lot of love to them, she even tell me that when she is sad, their dogs approaches and they asks her for affection. It would be nice to have a puppy.

My best holidays

Some years ago I went to the south of Chile with my cousins to visit my paternal family, I had never been with them for so long, it was the firt time, I had not shared this way and neither I did not know what their personalities.

My uncle took us in his car, I felt  very dizzy so we had to stop, this was terrible. But later I did not have the dizziness anymore and so we started to sing, to dance in the seating and laugh.

When we arrived in Talca, we went to the house of an aunt that I had never met in my life, she is nice and entertaining. Here we went to an amusement park, to the cemetery to visit a family member who I do not know who was. We stayed at his house for 3 days and then we went to my aunt Kelly. She lives in Temuco, we stayed for a week, , we went to a river, we visited the plot of my uncle, among other things.

I had a great time, but it was a tiring week because we went to bed late and we got up early to enjoy the day. I loved these vacations because I knew many new places, a family that I did not know or do not see for many years.

Next stop, Mexico

If I have the opportunity to visit a country, I would like to go to Mexico because has many places to visit and you can always be in different parts of the country. Also, I want learn of their culture, architecture and typical foods that is what I like most about visiting new places. This country has a varied weather, its national liquor is tequila. They celebrate death, that is praise the ancestors, giving them offerings that include images, food, drinks,among other things, like the movie that came out recently called "Coco".

I would like to know the Kukulkan Temple Pyramid that is very well know in Mexico, when one applauds in front of the pyramid of the temple, there is an “echo” similar to the sound quetzal, which is a bird that for the mayans was the messenger of the gods. Also, I would like to go to the beaches that are beautiful and eat a lot. 

I would like to go and live for a while to get to know the culture and visit all the places that this country offers and then I would go back to Chile.
