    Photography:
    I would like to enter that course! Since I was a kid, I've always enjoyed to play with my toy camera. Lately, I got my own digital camera whn I turned 12 years old. I find really interesting to take photos of the nature and landscapes because they are really amazing and we don't usually get time to admire our surroundings.
    Now, I started working a few months ago so I think it would be fun to retake my hobby. I would like to learn more and maybe get a new semiprofessional camera to take better photos.

    Ex. 5 and 6
    Astronomy
    This is the course that most caught my attention because I always wanted to learn about stars, constellations, galaxies, and in general the universe. Also, this course implies knowledge about physics which is one of my favorite branches of science.
    In my neighborhood, is difficult to watch a clear sky because of the light pollution, but in the other size I´m relieved because in Cartago there are some special places where you can put a telescope a watch the stars with no inconvenient.
    In the past I assisted to a group which name is Astro Tec. In there, people that love astronomy go there and prepare talks about interesting topics in the area. So I think that I have some kind of experience in that area and also I hope I can enjoy this astronomy course.

    Exercise 5 and 6a

    Modern Architecture.

    Since I was in high school, I have wanted to learn something about civil engineering or architecture because I really enjoy to know how things are made. In that time, those where the only areas I could figure up about my future job but never had the chance to develop as I wanted. Nowadays that I know a bit more about other areas, I think it's time for me to develop some new skills and try to apply my ideas and my knowledge in this field.

    I'm studying Mechatronics Engineering now and I have learned about structures and the behaviour of strains and forces in different elements of constructions. Having said this, I consider that if I learned about architecture it would be a great complement to my career and I could apply both areas in one single project.
