POST 8 > ESSAY

As an introduction, I think that every year comes with experiences, and every experience is useful for our growing as persons in constant development.
If those experiences are bad doesn’t matter, because bad experiences could be helpful to grow from the adversity. If the experiences are good could be useful for obvious reasons.
Because of what I said before, I think that in New Year’s Eve is important to make a self evaluation of the good and the bad experiences. We can’t erase the bad things, or just remember the good things, because both are an indivisible part of us.

As a starter point, I think that every usual self evaluation comes with the typical subjects to evaluate: love, money, work, social part. Now the subject is about a thing that is a 50 % part of my life, even more: the academic side.
Why I said that is a big part of my life? Because my life goes around the University (sounds sad, but is totally true, at least for this year): I live in Santiago only because the University is here; I organize my life schedule according to my study schedule; etc.
When I was in second year, every third grader said to me that third grade is the most difficult year in the University.
I thought in second year that first year and second actually were difficult, so I couldn’t imagine how difficult was being in third.
The sit in was an important subject, because for that we lost a month of classes and preset assessments. When we came back to classes, some teachers had no mercy of us, and they started to evaluate and doing classes very fast.
This was exhausting, not to mention that we only had one week of vacations. Is not a correct response say that we had a month of free days, because: 1) nobody knew exactly the date of end of the sit in, so we couldn’t did plans for that month. 2) Is more exhausting 6 followed months instead 3 months separated by vacations.

In conclusion, this year was very difficult, with a lot of obstacles that I hope to pass satisfactorily (because the year doesn’t end yet).
I had lot of obligatory subjects, and they weren’t so fun, so is complicated and difficult work so hard for something that is not so fun to do (in this time I thought in quit). But in my mind was the idea of being strong and keep fighting for the idea that inspires me to study in this university: grow and become in the best that I can be.
