It's been a little over 8 months since I moved out of my parents house. Lately I have been in a rough time in regards of money, loneliness and adapting to my new life. In a happier note, I applied to a government funded institution that specializes in vocational training, I think they call this Technical Colleges in the USA.
If I'm lucky enough, I might get chosen to study Mecánica de Precisión (google says this could be called precision engineering, precision mechanics or precision machining). I work in a factory and there's a lot of demand for precision mechanics around here so this could be an amazing opportunity.
I'm so excited, I always have wanted to study and didn't had the opportunity of, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. It's going to be difficult but I'll try my best. There's economic incentives for me just because I'm a woman in a STEAM carear or non-traditional for women to study, I've heard that they even give us more priority in some cases.
This means that I have to prove my worth in this area, specially since I'm an immigrant and if I get chosen, I have to prove that I deserved to get that place.
I really hope I get in, it would be difficult but I really need this.
Changing the subject; I have been watching so many videos from women living in similar conditions that I am and I feel so inspired to try. Just little video-diaries, a small glimpse into my life. I get a little scared though, it feels strange to share that much information about myself that makes me not want to try. Maybe I'll do it just for myself and when I feel comfortable with it, I may share it later.
