As children playing in the schoolyard, we all had an answer to that famous question. Some of us wanted to be astronauts, others pilots, others doctors…
But time passes, you grow older, and you look to the future with adult eyes, and the answer becomes perhaps the biggest mystery of these past few years. You enter your second year of high school, and as the months go by, you search for an answer with increasing urgency. Many of your classmates are already forging their own answers, but what about you? You still haven't found yours?
Well, for those undecided people, this guided tour of the University of Alicante has been created. It's not just a simple visit to the different facilities, but an in-depth exploration of the various options available, with explanations of subjects and potential career paths.
The first thing we did when we arrived was to divide ourselves into the different branches that were offered, and each one of them corresponded to a different subject and route, which we carried out accompanied by people with the same interests as us.
For this, we were guided by some current students who had been at the university for a while, and who accompanied each of us on our chosen tour. We had the opportunity to experience the university firsthand, and that's always appreciated.
Each group was taken to different sites and areas, and professors and researchers from the university explained the options we had chosen. Everything we needed to have a clearer understanding of which path we would choose to guide our lives.
It all ended with an explanation about the University Entrance Exam that we will be taking in a few months… and all we can do is wish everyone good luck.
Good luck in facing these next few weeks, which will probably be some of the most stressful and difficult of our lives. But always with a clear vision, with a goal on the horizon that gets closer with each passing day, with each exam that ends.
This guided tour is just a telescope. You make your own way.
Students in the 2nd year of Baccalaureate.
