Studying Public Management

Well, so I entered this year to study Public Administration basically because it is what I wanted to study (or suited the most my interests on some areas I wanted to study and learn of) after a series of "events" that I had in my academic/student life.
I always found interesting various branches of science, whether it were sciences of nature or social sciences. I liked very much history class and the elective economy class in which we were imparted economy from an historical point of view. And also always firmly believed in the importance of having healthy public spaces and healthy public institutions and services (like the importance of having good public education, health system, transport system and so on) because of the impact that subjects have in people's lives everyday. And those are motivations and interests that cross paths with this career's professional profile.
I wouldn't say that I "want" to be a certified public manager, but I would agree in saying that I really want to have the tools and knowledge for tomorrow identify problems and come up with the most satisfactory solution for them, and also knowing a little of economy and how to manage resources it is never bad, especially applying that at home.
I knew the basics, but yet still the medular part, of this career, that it gives you the preparation, knowledge and tools to play a role in what public management and administration in general refer (knowledge which also can be used in the private world), also the knowledge to analyze and comprehend the world of politics, and when you get to the ending of the career you can choose between two specialties or mentions, Public Management and Politic Science being these two.
About where to study this career, the Universidad de Chile wasn't my only option, of course, I considered also applying for the Universidad de Santiago de Chile, and Universidad de Valparaíso, but I had already studied another (unfinished) career at this house of studies, so it was nice getting back in here.
Until now my favourite subject was one of the past semester, Historias de las Instituciones Públicas y Administrativas de Chile, a pretty long name, so we called it HIPACH, by it's acronym. The thing that make me love the class was the professor, he knew a lot and always made a very entertaining class. And if I had to answer what's the most significant thing I've learned until now I wouldn't know what to answer, maybe (and being very cliche) I would say the lots of things I still have to learn, but that's pretty obvious, because I just entered to study and learning it's a never ending task.

Until now I've had a really nice experience with the english classes at the university, they've been very different from the classes...
