Antonia Martínez

When I was child I wanted to be many things, one day I wanted to be a docter, the other an actress, etc. I never saw myself working on just one thing, because the majority professions caught my attention. As the years passed my interest in various professions didn´t change, everything made me curious, so my options varied mainly between areas like natural sciences and social problems. Before taking the PDT I had reduced my options a bit, so I was between studying astronomy, laws or social work, but one day watching careers I came across anthropology, doing a little research, I realized that it covered many things, so I had different areas where I could develop and that's how I decided to study anthropology. I can't say much about my university experience, I never expected it to be virtual, but I like the career and every day I learn something different from it. In the future I would like to work as a social anthropologist or as an archaeologist, but I am not sure yet.

I am Antonia Martínez and I was born in Santiago, Chile. At elementary school, I studied at Colegio Manquecura in Puente Alto, then I was in two different schools, until I got to the Colegio Nazaret de La Florida where I complete my high school in 2020.  Currently  I am a first year anthropology student at the Universidad de Chile and I work part-time in Melt Pizzas. My hobbies are to go out anywhere and read. I also like to swim, but lately I haven´t had a chance to go anywhere where I can swim.  Since I was little I lived with my mother and my grandmother in La Florida. Now I live with my mother, her partner and my dog ​​in Puente Alto, but my grandmother also moved to the commune, so always I go to see her.
