they implemented in their lives to achieve their dreams, I consider myself a very organized,
dedicated, responsible person and wanting to get ahead, despite the fact that My parents
separated early has not been an impediment to meet my goals and have my goals clear. I will
continue fighting for my activities daily planner. I finished my studies with some scholarships,
being able to become an industrial engineer, they are not afraid of challenges, I like to transmit
enthusiasm, security and the best energy always. The dedication of each one of these people
encourages me to become a better person every day and achieve my dream of being the best
industrial engineer first in Colombia, then Latin America and finally the world, I am very
grateful they are examples to live.
