¿QUÉ IMPACTO HA TENIDO EL PROGRAMA DE BECAS EN TU VIDA??
It has been a great impact in my life, because it has benefited me and my family. Thanks to the scholarship I’m about to finish my course work at University.

¿QUÉ IMPACTO HA TENIDO EL PROGRAMA DE BECAS EN TU COMUNIDAD??
It has a great impact, as there are many young people with scarce economic resources who want to pursue an education and become professionals. We have that opportunity thanks to the program, and we can make that dream come true.

CUÁLES HAN SIDO TUS MAYORES OBSTÁCULOS PARA CONTINUAR TU EDUCACIÓN?
Transportation means are an obstacle, as the public transportation system has really bad schedules. I have to wait more than an hour for the bus that takes me home when I finish my classes. También, due to the pandemic for COVID-19, it has been hard to have online classes, as the internet signal is very bad in my community.

¿CUÁLES SON TUS PLANES DESPUÉS DE GRADUARTE DE LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA O LA UNIVERSIDAD??
I want to work to put into practice my knowledge and support my community in anything I can or in my field.
