Below please read Alicia’s comments about the Scholarship program, sus retos y sus planes de futuro.
¿QUÉ IMPACTO HA TENIDO EL PROGRAMA DE BECAS EN TU VIDA?? The program has had a positive impact in my life. Gracias a San. Sabina and solidarity partners who support CIS (Center of Interchange and Solidarity), ARDM (Association of Reconstruction and Development) through their donations, I and more young people have the opportunity to pursue a university career.
¿QUÉ IMPACTO HA TENIDO EL PROGRAMA DE BECAS EN TU COMUNIDAD?? It has been very positive, as the community has an opportunity to form new professionals in different areas. Young people are helped to opt for a university scholarship, as our parents don’t have economic resources to help us achieve our future goals. When I become a professional, I want to serve and support my community.
CUÁLES HAN SIDO TUS MAYORES OBSTÁCULOS PARA CONTINUAR TU EDUCACIÓN? One of my greatest obstacles is the social insecurity of our country. Sometimes, I have been a victim of robberies when I ride the bus on my way to university. Another factor that is affecting students greatly is the COVID-19 pandemic, as it came to dramatically change the educational methodology. Virtual classes are new to all students, and we are still adapting.
¿CUÁLES SON TUS PLANES DESPUÉS DE GRADUARTE DE LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA O LA UNIVERSIDAD?? I want to start helping my community to acquire experience, work with the farming sectors and put into practice the knowledge I have acquired. Subsequently, I want to find a job in my field.
