Free Post: Why i'm here

Well I was born in Santiago but i lived my whole life in Puerto Varas (at least the life that i can remember) and this is the story of why i'm living here. Unfortunately over there in Puerto Varas there aren't universities, i mean there is one  (Universidad Gabriela Mistral) but it is new and really small; also there are some universities in Puerto Montt, the capital of the region that is like15 minutes from Puerto Varas in car but they aren't as good as the ones over here and they don't have as much variety of careers than here. This ends in almost every kid leaving school to flee to other cities far away to study what they want. It is very sad because we have to say goodbye to all our friend and families at an age that i find very early on and that makes things very hard... when i left school there were a lot of tearjerking moments when everyone was leaving. I didn't leave after finishing school because i didn't know what to study and i wanted some time to think so I stayed one more year there going to a preuniversity (i dont know if this is the name) with some friends that decided to stay one more year as well and it was really fun until we had to leave once and for all. There while i was studying history, when we were seeing geography as a unit i found it pretty interesting and decided to study it at university. I already have made my mind to study here in Santiago because i came like every year to see family that lives here so the change wasn't too much extreme i already got used to the 12 hrs trip between the two cities years ago.
