My Second Semester of University

My second semester in 2009, was a difficult one to me. I had new difficult classes. Also, my first semester was difficult, because I was no familiar with the study method of Chile, and so, I struggle with some classes at the same time of trying to get used to live by myself in another country.

I think my second semester was the hardest time I ever had, because I was having a hard time with classes and missing my family and friends, all at the same time. I was so stress that I have to make a very difficult decision of whether suspending that semester or not. At first, I felt like I was not accomplishing my dream. Finally, I decided to do it, but I was scared to talk to my parents about it, because I didn´t know how was going to be their reaction. I was very sad at that time, I was 3 weeks away of finishing the semester. My parents were very supporting about my decision, but at the same time, I was not ok with it. My parents bought me a ticket so I could get back home earlier. At that moment, I really didn´t want to return to Guatemala because I felt like a failure. When I went home I spent time thinking, and I guess it was the best decision I made.

That is my experience for the second semester of 2009, I think that all that happened, thought me that sometimes it´s going to be difficult, but you have to fight for what you want in your life. I love my career and I´m going to fight every day for even the most difficult that it is going to be, to accomplish my dream of being a veterinary and to do what I love for the rest of my life.
