John Dalton

 Well, for me, the chemist who marked me the most is John Dalton, since he laid the foundations of modern chemistry.

Dalton is a British chemist, mathematician and meteorologist who was born on September 6, 1766. He was the one who proposed the theory that all substances are made of atoms and that the atoms of each element are identical and also held that chemical compounds are the combination of atoms of different elements and in chemical reactions they rearrange and combine. Which literally is what all our current atomic models and theories are based on, it surprises me that in a time without any technological help only with imagination and experimental data he was able to come up with the basis of chemistry which for me at least is something very difficult to understand today with all the technology and chemical advances that have been made.

    it is impressive how great discoveries could be made in the past without the help of technology.

    Again the topic was fully covered with no major lapses. In fact coherence and chesion are generally well handled, escept from a couple of paragraphing issues.

Why I chose my career

  When I was a child I was very interested in the area of ​​psychology and I thought about studying something related to that, but when I got to high school and learned more about science I became very interested in the area of ​​health and the laboratory and spent most of my High school focused on studying something related to health, specifically medicine, but when I chose my electives, that's when I ended up being convinced by chemistry. I have never liked office jobs and I hope I don't end up in one when I finish my degree, I am more of a person who likes the outdoors, field work or experimentation. College got off to a rocky start for me due to the pandemic, but now that we're back on campus, I'm looking forward to having the college experience I hoped for when I entered college.

My better world

Imagen
 Well, my career has many ways to help the world to be a better place, but I think the most important and the one I want to base my future career on is the fight against global warming, since chemistry is fundamental to stop the damage done to the planet with the emission of toxic gases into the atmosphere. When I leave college I want to focus on developing substances that reduce the emission of CO2, to reduce the time it takes for plastics to degrade, this way we can clean the oceans and slow down the sad future that awaits us if we continue on this path to leave my children something more than problems and a world in ruins where they will have to fight for food or even water and all because of human carelessness. I don't want the people who come after us to have a worse time than we have now, I want them to be able to live in peace and enjoy this world, its landscapes, its fauna, among other things. That is why I feel that the best way to make a better world or a better future is...
