This year was the first step to my adulthood. Today, life is opening her arms to me and U.S.A.I.D. gave me the “golden” opportunity to learn at one of the most prestigious universities. As an A.U.B USP scholar, I feel that I have the potential to succeed in my studies and later my career. I’m receiving high level of academic knowledge and civic engagement. I’m majoring in mechanical engineering and my plan is to continue for a master's degree in biomedical engineering. I love the mixture between engineering and medicine. I love giving dead materials, such as metal and plastic, a purpose to improve the health of suffering people. Also, I am willing to minor in business to discover its world, to satisfy the needs of my country, as well as to create job opportunities. Moreover, I’m inspired by Paulo Coelho, who said, “When you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” For this reason, I never give up in the face of any trouble in the life. Every time a problem arises, I swallow my tears, wipe my sweat and continue. I always accept challenges and work hard until I fulfill my targets. Also, I believe that every person is born to accomplish a mission. Thus, I don’t want to leave this world without keeping my fingerprint in it.
