Study in Chile

Hi, today I want to talk about my dream. This year I will apply for a convocatory (not so sure what this word is, is it like an exchange study? can't find the english word) to study in another country and I want to go to Valparaiso, Chile. I would like to learn about their Justice and penitentiary systems. Actually I´m studying Criminology and I could apply this knowledge (never spelled with an s)to my country to make our Justice system better. I feel nervous and excited but because I have pets, this situation stresses me because I don´t want to leave them. ( did you mean you do not want to leave your pets?). Anyway, I will still prepare for the convocatory. (did you mean convention, like a conference?)

Hope this helps.
