How has the GPS Program helped you?
The GPS program has helped me a lot. I went to my first GMISTEM Conference. I finished my Resume. That's thanks to the amazing people working every day to make this school year better for everyone. From the bottom of my heart thank you to all the people who work there. Thank you for everything you do.

What keeps you motivated and positive throughout life’s hardships?
My motivation is my family to see everything they have done for me, they sacrificed everything for me just to have a better future and a safe place to call home. I'm so lucky to have a family that loves me and gives me everything they have just to make my dreams come true.

What advice would you like to give to your fellow scholars?
I'm not good at giving advice but I would say what my grandmother says to me. If you are making mistakes, that's good because you are learning. If you don't make mistakes, how are you going to learn? Don't let your mind get the best of you and always trust your heart. Siempre mira hacia delante.

What are your plans after graduation?
For now, I'm focusing on passing my classes but when I graduate, I would like to make a game.
