Hello steemiats !, Today I want to tell you a little about my life, a post a bit more personal, and is that as they know everything we do has a consequence, and I wanted to have an exchange of ideas with those who read me, tell me a little about some decision that has made a very important change in their lives or that represents an important turn in some cycle, in short; some important decision they have made.

I will comment on my experience, it turns out that when I graduated from high school, or what is known as secondary in other countries; Even in #Venezuela, we did not see such a big problem, that is, "we were still comfortable" even though in my house they have always been people opposed to the government. For that year of 2009, Chavez was still governing, and despite that his management was a crap, Venezuela was still very good, economically speaking, my decision at that time was to choose my career, choose the university that would guide me and make me a professional. I decided for that moment to enter UNET a prestigious university in my city that has Engineering as its main core, I really pass the test and it is also almost direct because I had very good grades from high school (call me Nerd), I remember that the test is 11, and that's pretty good, for that moment I was just a girl, my dreams were just getting along, I was happy and nervous; to enter one of the most important universities of my State and that formed for that moment the best engineers of the Country, inside my ingenuity I did not know everything that could happen in my country, and it is that there was not a storm so dark to come, I remember having entered the UNET at the end of 2009.

Here the tragedy begins

I remember that problems began to exist in public universities, for subsidies in the cafeteria (a free service was provided for students), for payments to teachers, etc; It was the first day of the university where I remember without realizing the universe was announcing something to me and I did not want to see it, or I just ignored it, the first day of the university, the first student protest. I thought it was a matter of 1 day, but the protest was not sharpened, and I remember that among the chaos of those months killed a student in full protest, something that was shocking to me, because minutes before I had gone to where he was carrying out this protest but I decided to leave, because as I was new I did not understand very well the fight that was taking place. Hardly the first semester ended, which lasted more than 6 months due to the protests, and this was only the beginning.

I really see everything in retrospect and I wonder what would have happened if I left the country at that time ?, but I had no idea what was going to happen, because apparently they were internal problems of the university that for me had a solution Soon, what my little head of a new student did not know was that social chaos was going to start in Venezuela.

I always tried to take good grades in my career, they were not excellent but if I try not to be left behind by subjects, despite this today I realize that it lasts almost 7-8 years to graduate and this does not make sense to me, I like I explain to someone from another place who never went to the academy or because I did not want the university that lasted so many years, but my country was falling apart and the protests of the student sector were the ones that encouraged the civil sector to protest their rights, I remember that there was a protest that lasted almost 1 year, almost a year without us sitting in classrooms and seeing our subjects, how do I explain that and be credible?

Of course you will read me and ask yourself what these protests consisted of ?, I tell you more or less what I remember, there was one in which students belonging to the student center that is the political movement within the university decided to stay day and night in the facilities of the University as a protest measure against everything that was happening, I remember that the police stopped in front of the university and threw gas inside it, threw pellets, and I imagine that many other things, of course side and side, the students were not going to be quiet and this unleashed the biggest protest in my state, the so-called "Guarimbas" I comment, I live in "the war zone" practically where the strongest protests were unleashed during those months, were combat nights, young students and civil society joined and blocked the main steps through the city roads, covered with what they could, b Asura, rubbers, remains of old furniture and even a giant container. This was done to cover the police and guard, including the armed groups of the government that today are known as "collectives" (this is a civil group that the government paid and gave them weapons to "defend the revolution"), the protest I spent several months, I remember being locked up in my house and only going out in the day to walk across the city and find a place to buy some food, even though they deny it is the most similar to a war and we live in Tachira-Venezuela, I was very sad that the rest of the country did not completely join the fight of the "Gochos" (as they call us here), and the "guarimbas" were overthrown by the regime, they took many people prisoners, they killed many people, raided houses and apartments, it was really crazy, and there I lost many more months of university, I think all this has been a novel experience, many will be able to tell their memories and write someday books where they relate from their perspective all or what has happened in this country.
