My experience in Brighton:

The last year my father told me an option for me in the summer: go to other country (like USA, England, Canada...) for learn english. I was so nervous, because my dream was to go exchange to other country and stay there for 1 month or more. I accepted his option and we contacted an agency for help to us in the process. The first step was to choose the country and I chose England. The school that the agency gave to use has schools in London, Brighton, Cambridge and Canterbury. I thought a lot in what city and finally I chose Brighton. Brighton is a city in the south of England, near to London (1 hour by train) and is a city with a lot of young people and students.

I left Chile in January 5. My first flight was Santiago-Sao Paulo and then Sao Paulo-London. Unfortunately when I arrived London, my suitcase was in Sao Paulo! It was terrible for me. I only had a t-shirt in my bag and that's all. I took a coach form London to Brighton and I arrived at my new home: a house where the students of the school can live. My first day in the school, called Stafford House, was terrible! I was so nervous, because my english is bad-normal and the only way to communicate with the students and the teacher is... speaking english! It's difficult for me when I arrive a new place with people that I don't know of them. But, the things became better and I made a a lot of friends, classes are too different compared with Chile but are great and the city is beautiful and you can do a lot of things (alone or with your friends). I stayed 1 month in Brighton and I can say that now I have a better speaking of english, but I need to learn a lot of things.

With my friends I went to other cities like Cambridge, London, Bath, Oxford, Seven Sisters and more! Also every Wednesday and Friday we went to "Cocoloco": a disco near to the beach. We did parties in the student house, we went to the mall to have a lunch or dinner or shopping and other activities whit the school. I made friends form Brazil, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Turkey,  Italy, France, Colombia and more... I remember with great affection every moment that I lived in Brighton and I miss so much my friends, it was an incredible experience for me and I'm grateful with my parents for gave my that option.

My future profession In 2018 I had too many options of what kind of career I wanted to chose. I thought in Medicine, Geology, Ingineering, Biochemistry and Chemistry and Pharmacy. It was a hard decision, because when you choose a career you need to think that you will do that for the rest of your life and if you decision is wrong, you lose time, money and maybe you could be sad. The positive aspects of my future profession are that we must to know a lot of effects of medicines, chemical reactions, effects in the human body, substance composition, skills in the laboratory and the most important part in my opinion is that we can help in the health system of our country, because hospitals, clinics and pharmacies must to have people that studied chemistry and pharmacy. Also I like the subjects that we have in each semester, so is good for me. We have a lot of chemistry combinated with maths, physics, biology and more! and I very like to work in the laboratory with my section mates, it ...
