The photo meaningful for me

This is a photo that means a lot to me, here I am with my grandmother on her birthday. Every time I look at this photo, many feelings come to my mind and at the same time sadness because I can't be by her side, but I see her so happy in that photo that I forget the sadness. I remember that that day she was very excited, I took the plane earlier and went studying on the trip. When I got to my grandparents' house, my grandmother recognized me, she called me by name (my grandmother has Alzheimer's) and I was very happy. I started decorating the house and then I helped my mom with the food. We worked on it all morning and when it was time for her birthday, we dressed my grandmother and left her very pretty. That day the mariachis went to the house to sing to my grandmother, we ate cake, we laughed and danced all night. It was a great day.

why did i choose my major?

It is a dificult question, because it has a lot of  history, but in summary, first i wanted to be a math teacher, it was my dream but my dad said no, so i had to change my option and i thought about engineering, because i am good at number but it  never conviced me. Then when i was growign up i had art, and in first semester we saw design and the sencond we saw architecture. There i found  something what i liked, a mix of art and math, but i wasn´t sure what i wanted. Firts i applied to design, i stayed but i didn´t enter and i took a year. I took the test for the second time, i spoke with a friend who studies architecture and she convinced me. I stayed in architecture and here i am, learning from the process and trying to enjoy it even if it means sacriffice. I leave you potos of me working and learn more about the process.
