Hello there, I would like to talk today about why I decided to study anthropology in the first place. I think that first, I should admit I had no idea what I was doing when I choose to follow this past. I have always been really hesitant at the moment of making decisions that would affect my life and future. When I was a child I changed careers as I changed clothes every day. As I grew older I noticed more and more how I didn't have even an idea of an area of study that I could claim my vocation. I found myself interested in everything, even the topics I wasn't particularly good at.

By the time I was in high school, I was convinced that I would be an astronomer. I was sure that that was the career that would make me happy, but my dad, more practical than my adolescent self, make me notice the problems whit my plan. I was horrible at physics, I enjoyed to learn about it, but in reality, I was a disaster in the class. it broke my heart at the time, but now I appreciate the sincerity and worry that was behind his words.

In the coming years, I would wander from career to career, not really knowing what to do. My family said maybe architecture? you like to draw... maybe literature? you love to read. I knew that I didn't really wanted to stop learning about biology or history, so what could I study?. it was almost at random that in a college fair at my school that I found the pamphlet. Anthropology.  What the heck was that I have never heard of it before, but the more that I investigated, the more I was excited about the prospect of studying this career.

So the time came, and I had to make a choice. and after changing my submition from architecture to geology, to anthropology to architecture, to anthropology again, to the last minute, the decision was made. So why I choose anthropology as my career? it simply fascinates me, especially my area of study, biological anthropology. It  intrigues me the way as primates we react to death, how we treat this process in different places and in different periods of time, how our bodies talk about our diets and the places that we have been and what we have done, how we can learn about our identity and the identity of others even when they are no longer whit us. It keeps me guessing, and I love it. I hope you enjoyed my ramble.
