When I was 16 I started studying mining engineering and the university where I was going to study was very far from my hometown and I knew that I was going to face a drastic change. If I had known that it was going to be so difficult at first, I would have chosen another place to study. It was difficult for me to adapt to a culture very different from mine, but I was determined that I wanted to get ahead, so I had to face many obstacles that were going to present me. With the passing of the days my courage and determination increase, so that my flexibility improved in the face of this challenging stage in my life, this would not have happened had I not clear my goals. I am very satisfied with the adaptability I had at that time, if I had not studied at that university, I would not have achieved the greatest achievement of my life. Throughout my life as a university I learned many things that helped me to improve as a professional and as a person, if I had not lived this experience, today I would lack many values that I had the privilege of acquiring at that time.
