From pediatrician to art

When I was a child I wanted to be a pediatrician. I can't remember why, I just know I did. A little older, perhaps at 12, my dream was to become a psychiatrist. I remember have seen movies where people with psychological disorders were enclosed in large white buildings, dressed in uniforms, also white and diseases seemed to have no cure. I recognize I never went to see what was really going on in these clinics, but I was sure it wasn't very different from what was pictured in movies. I believe it could be even worse. I wanted to do something to help those people and give them a real solution. That idea held firm, it was my only choice, until something new came from the depths of my mind, when I was 16, Art, why not? And the doubt emerged. What shall I choose?

Finally I chose arts, this new idea triumphed, a sort of artistic instinct invaded my mind and I don't know, maybe I just needed to create. What I didn't know was that after all, these two ideas would be related. Art and psychiatry would make me feel a more complete person, how? Because through art we can learn from the instincts to the deepest reflections of the human being, our mind.

Carl Jung, the famous psychologist postulates that the mind is the door to spirituality, the very essence of the man. Therefore, I can say my experience has been really good. Although I don't know specifically what I will do after leaving college, the most likely is to have exposures and later continue studying, I think there's still a lot to learn.
