WHY I STUDY WHAT I STUDY

The science, a big word. That it's all. The science it's, from the beggining, the true behind all we can see. I think that it's the main reason of study biochemistry. But not always was to study Biochemistry. When I was a child, my dream was to be an astronaut; that is so cliche, but I like the idea of explore the universe, know things about our origin. When I was in High School, my dream changed, now I wanted to be a doctor, I like the idea of help the people, study the human body, study the life, the anatomy of the body.

Who am I?

First, my name is Cristóbal Mansilla. I’m from Chile, and now I live in Santiago of Chile, the capital of the country. I was born in Fresia, a little city next to Pto.

I’m a real fan of the science, and now I have the possibility of to go ahead with my curiosity and, in a couple of years, work in that. My interest in the science includes the biology of the living beings to the chemistry behind that life. But I like a lot of other things, like the literature; my favorite book is “The catcher in the rye”, because I’m amazed of the talent of JD Salinger (the author) of describe and write the story of an adolescent with a beautiful timelessness. Of course, I have other hobbies like cycling and watch movies and series.
