Challenges in my career

Hello everybody!!!! In this case I’m going to talk about the challenges in my discipline. Well I’m studying obstetric in the University of Chile since this year. In the future, if I pass all the exams I will be a midwife.
Like any health profession, being a midwife involves a lot of complications, I mean, we have two lives in our hands (the newborn and the mother) and it is our responsibility to take care of them. Also we have to develop a lot of skills and knowledge for doing a good job and be an excellent professional.
These things are learned in the university but it is our duty to know how to use them properly.

Also the university and being a student of a health profession have challenges.
First of all, entering the university is a challenge in itself and a very big one because all the students must give a difficult test that takes an whole year (and sometimes more) to prepare it. After entering university you have to try to stay in it because it is so easy to fail and go out of the university. All the tests and exams are terrible and all the assignments, homework, reports, etc. are extremely stressful and exhausting. Passing the exam is another challenge, and if you fail it you have to do the entire subject again and that is a terrible thing because you have to keep studying more years. For other students, paying the university is a complicated challenge because nothing is free and the career is expensive (more than two million Chilean pesos each year and it increases every year) some students have to work for paying their studies, which is really hard.

After finishing the studies, finding a good job is another challenge. Earning money is essential to begin an own life and pay the bill of the university too!!
After all I think that the challenges are doing for be better and in our case to make a professional of excellence. All the challenges are necessary for develop ourselves and to try hard when we really want something.
