The movie I like the most is called “21 grams”. It’s directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and the main cast is Naomi Watts, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro. Besides, it´s part of a kind of trilogy, along with “Amores Perros” and “Babel”, in which the plot tells the story of three different characters that don’t know each other, but for many reasons their lives coincide at some point. You may think that the film could be related with drug traffic or an addiction, but it begins explaining that the title is based on an old story. Somebody, I don’t know where or why, said that our body, at the exactly moment of our death, loses 21 grams, so it would be the weight of our soul. I can’t remember the characters’ names, so I’ll use the actors’ ones.  Naomi’s husband and her two daughters suffer a collision by a car that is being driven by Benicio, an old man who used to be at the ‘dark side’ and a few years ago had converted into Catholicism, but it doesn’t save him from jail.

In the last year of the undergraduate program of Psychology, the university gives us the possibility to take some courses (here we call them ‘diplomado’), in wich we can deepen about some aspect of our interest.

Although I'll work with adults in the future, I think it's very important to study the childhood and the adolescence , so I think I will choose the one related to child and youth therapy. T

When I finished secondary school, I started to study Law in this university.   In those years, I thought that undergraduate program was great for me, because it would let me be part of an important change of the society, in fact, I was quite sure that I was going to work at the Social Development Ministry or something like that. Nevertheless, it started to bore me a lot. It was too logical and too restricting. Besides, I’m not the kind of person that enjoys confronting another person, for example, on a trial. So I quit Law and, a few years later, I decided to study Psychology, because I think that it could be a better option. When I get the university degree, I intend to work in public health care services, like ‘Cosam’, ‘Cesfam’ or a hospital. I can’t imagine myself working in the private system. There are many job options in Psychology. I could work in a school, in the court, in a company’s human resources department or making investigation. But I will be a clinical psychologist. I
