Hi there! My name is Rosita and I live in Cartagena, Colombia. I am 16 years old and in high school. All high schools in Colombia have four different routes, from one year to five years of studies: technical, technological, teaching and professional programs. The teaching and professional programs are the longest.

I study in the technical program. I want to be a gardener. When you finish the two years of the technical program, you can start working immediately without going to university. In professional careers you need to study more than in technical careers and you need to go to university. There are technical majors in the United States, but not in all schools. In the United States, after you finish technical or general majors, you can go to college for professional studies.
