At a time when my family was going through a very difficult economic situation, I was fortunate to find people on my path who supported me in completing my higher education journey, that was the Dr. Carlos López Somolinos Foundation. I am grateful for that wonderful opportunity to have been a scholar, because at that time it was a great help, but today I can attest that it was a great gift.

The leadership workshops have given me knowledge and confidence to face difficult situations and to be a good example to other people. I have improved my ability to speak and participate in my classes and I have become aware of many skills I possess. It has been very positive to share with other scholars to exchange ideas and opinions from which we can learn mutually to help us give our best effort in order to achieve our goals.

Here I can honor the memory of my father. With his example, I learned to believe in God, the importance of family, love for my country, and respect for others. …

I appreciate the opportunity the Foundation has given me because they have helped me never give up on my studies and to know that what we possess does not define us, but who we are and what we want to achieve.

We are convinced that by offering better opportunities, we contribute greatly to the well-being of our scholars, as future leaders of our country. I appreciate the invitation to join this group of volunteers with such a beautiful life mission.

Thanks to the Foundation, everything has changed regarding my studies. Being a scholar is the best thing that has happened to me in life.

Thanks to the opportunity to be part of the foundation, I can help children and youth from socio-economic disadvantage. Not everyone has the same opportunities in life and our mission is to provide those opportunities to those who need them most. It fills me with pride to be part of the foundation and to be able to contribute to improving the society we live in.

Thanks to my scholarship, I was able to show my family that I can advance, that there are no limits, because one sets their own limits, but with faith and determination, we can achieve anything.

I thank the Foundation for giving me the opportunity to have a scholarship, as not all children and young people who need it can have it, and I was able to take advantage of it.

Since I joined the leadership workshops, I understand others better, putting myself in their shoes. Also, my way of thinking about social networks has changed, using them for my good and that of others. The workshops have taught me to be a more empathetic leader who knows how to make decisions and calm down in moments of anguish or anger.
