I am 20 years old, and I have always had the unconditional support of my parents. They have always encouraged me to study, stay active, and pursue my goals.

After finishing high school, I decided to study a Technology degree in Marketing, which opened my mind to the world of business and strategy. As time went on, I discovered a passion for numbers and strategic planning, which led me to my current path: studying Finance. Managing my time between my studies, sports, and personal commitments has taught me valuable lessons in discipline, focus, and perseverance.

In addition to my academic life, sports have always been an essential part of my routine, keeping me motivated and energized. I also treasure the moments I spend traveling with my family, as those trips have created unforgettable memories and shown me the beauty of exploring new places together.

Today, as I continue my studies in Finance, I feel proud of every step I have taken. My parents have always believed in me, and their continuous support remains my biggest inspiration.

This journey has taught me that with discipline, passion for what you do, and the strength of a united family, any dream is within reach.

1. The Challenge of Independence

A few years ago, I decided to move out and live alone. I felt incredibly happy and excited about this new chapter, but I also faced many challenges. I packed my bags with a mix of fear and hope. When I arrived at my new place, I realized that being independent was a huge responsibility. I learned how to manage my own time and take care of a home. It took a lot of effort, but I eventually built my own safe space and grew a lot as a person.

2.Rugby, Pain, and Recovery

For a long time, I played rugby with an amazing team. I loved the adrenaline, and the sport quickly became my biggest passion. Unfortunately, I had a severe accident during a game. I injured my arm badly and needed surgery. When the doctor told me I could never play again, I felt completely devastated. I injured my arm badly and needed surgery. I focused on my healing and, thanks to my hard work and commitment, I achieved a great recovery and made my arm functional again.

3. Meeting My True Love, Apolo

After those tough times, a little miracle came into my life. I met Apolo, my first dog. The day he arrived, he completely changed my world. He brought so much joy, laughter, and peace to my days. We shared amazing car rides and quiet nights at home.We shared amazing car rides and quiet nights at home. I rescued him, and he became my loyal companion. If I hadn't taken the decision to rescue him, I wouldn't have experienced such unconditional love.

1-When I was 10 years old I had the opportunity to start working at a very young age. This made me become independent much earlier than most people. It was a positive experience in many ways, but I also feel that I did not fully enjoy my childhood.

While my friends were playing, I was waking up early to work at a shoe company. Because of that, I missed many experiences that children usually have. However, I believe that this experience helped me become a responsible person and taught me the value of hard work from an early age. It also helped me understand what I wanted to achieve in life. 2-When my mom passed away 12 years ago I went through one of the hardest moments of my life. I was only 17 years old, and from that day on, I had to become independent and take on many responsibilities It was a very painful experience, but it also helped me grow as a person.

This situation taught me to be resilient, to face difficult times with strength, and to become more responsible, not only with myself but also with the people around me today, I appreciate everything I learned from that experience because it made me a stronger, more committed, and capable person who is ready to face life' s challenges. 3-Before I started my studies I went through one of the most difficult moments of my life: my mother's death. Because of that I had to stop studying and focus completely on working; fortunately I always had good job opportunities but six years ago I faced a financial problem that made me think seriously about my future. I asked myself: what am I going to do with my life if I dont have a professional education?

That question changed my way of thinking. I decided to go back to university because I wanted to build a better future and have more opportunities; today I am proud to say that I work in a field related to what I studied and I have achieved stability in both my professional and personal life. This experience taught me that it is never too late to start (over) again and that education can change your life when you have determination and commitment.

1. I moved out of my parents house when I was very young and I had to manage a household on my own. Now I demonstrate how responsible I am in every place and experience I live. If I hadn't moved out early, I wouldn't have learned to be so independent.

2. I got my first job at a young age to cover my own expenses and I worked long hours. From an early age I learned to make right decisions and work hard to make my dreams come true. If I hadn't worked so early, I wouldn't have developed such a strong work ethic.

3. I spent many years working full time while studying at the university, which required a lot of energy and sacrifice. I never gave up, since I had my plans in mind. Now I'm about to reach one of the biggest goals in my life. If I hadn't balanced work and university for so long, I wouldn't have gained such high discipline.

4. I started a new personal project while keeping my current job, hoping it grows enough to allow me to have my own business. If I hadn't taken the initiative to start this project, I wouldn't have created a potential pathway to my own freedom.

5. I trusted someone close to me with my money, but they stole from me and broke my trust. After this experience, I learned to be more careful and not to trust anyone so easily. If I hadn't gone through that betrayal, I wouldn't have learned to be cautious and distrust people's words.

Four years ago, I decided to join a gym because I felt overweight. I didn't think about my health; I only wanted to look thinner. Since obesity runs in my family, I knew I had to make a change.

At the beginning, everything was fun because I joined the gym with one of my friends. Over the years, I worked out with different friends, but little by little, they stopped going. I was the only one who stayed.

As time passed, I realized that exercising was about much more than looking good. I learned to take care of my body, eat healthier, and make better choices every day. Now, I exercise because it makes me feel strong, happy, and healthy.

This experience changed my life because I know that the habits I build today will help me have a healthier future.

1. About 20 years ago, my family arrived in Medellín after we left Urabá because of violence. My parents lost their land and everything they owned. We started our lives from scratch. We grew up lacking opportunities, expectations, money, better life conditions, but that experience taught us the value of hard work, gratitude, and unconditional love.

2. Eight years ago, I became pregnant with my beautiful daughter. I had a stable relationship with her father, but after she was born, he decided to leave and didn't want to build a family. I became a stronger and more independent woman. I worked hard every day because I wanted to give my daughter a better future. Now I know I'm the person she admires!!!

3. Seven years ago, I realized how strong I was because of all the difficulties I faced. I saved money, worked hard, and bought my first house. It was one of the happiest moments of my life because it represented safety and stability for my daughter and me.

4. Seven years ago, I worked as a door-to-door sales representative. I was afraid of riding a motorcycle, so I decided to buy my first car instead. That decision gave me more confidence and helped me do my job more comfortably. I learned that leaving the comfort zone opens new doors!!

5. Seven years ago, I worked as a sales representative, and I wanted to get a promotion. I realized that I needed a university degree. I started studying while I worked full-time. It wasn't easy, but I never gave up. Now I am close to finishing my degree, and I feel very proud of everything I have achieved.

The death of my three dogs has broken my heart because I had to put two of them to sleep, and a car ran over the other one. We used to play together every day, and they would always wait for me when I came home.

My childhood has given me wonderful memories. I used to play with my cousins every weekend, and we would spend hours playing together. They also gave me lots of toys. I learned how to share and how to enjoy every single experience.

6. My romantic experience:

I have had a painful romantic experience, and it made me stop my studies for a while because I didn't feel able to continue. I used to believe everything my partner said, and we would spend a lot of time together.

I have had difficult experiences with bad bosses, and they made me a better professional. I used to feel stressed at work, but I would always do my best and learn from every challenge.

Last year, I bought my first motorcycle. I had dreamed about it for a long time, and I worked very hard to save enough money. When I finally bought it, I felt proud and excited. My motorcycle gave me more freedom, and I enjoyed riding it every day. It was one of the happiest moments of my life because I achieved a personal goal.

When I was in high school, I didn’t pay much attention to English, even though I liked it. I didn’t study or practice enough because I thought it wasn’t very important. Years later, I lost the opportunity to get a job that I really wanted because my English wasn’t good enough. Now I know how important learning English is.

After I finished high school, I realized that my life had changed. I understood that my parents had worked very hard to give me everything I needed. I decided to become more responsible and independent. I started working, helping my family, and thinking more about my future. That experience taught me to value my parents and appreciate all their sacrifices.

When I was 20 years old, my partner died. It was a very difficult time for me, and I felt completely lost. However, looking back today at 37 years old, I remember it with a feeling of gratitude. After many years, I understood why things happened, and how much I learned from this

The death of my father came at a time of great family unity, and it hit us very hard. He was an always-present father, and feeling his absence every day makes me reflect on the importance of life. Now I feel more grateful to life and appreciate every single moment.

I lost my beloved cats. They were part of my family, and their absence left a very sad and empty space in my home. I still miss how much I used to share with them.

I started my university career with many financial problems, and I struggled a lot to pay for my (tuition fee)studies. However, despite how hard it was, today I have a stable financial life and better job opportunities.

During my final exams, I suffered from severe stress. I didn't sleep well, and the pressure affected my health. I still feel nervous everytime I have to face such requirement.

I always had my parents' support. They encouraged me to study and follow my dreams.

After I finished high school, I decided to study Gastronomy. Later, I studied Pastry and Bakery because I enjoyed learning about desserts and baking. Those experiences helped me become more responsible and disciplined.

After that, I discovered my interest in business and marketing, so I decided to study Marketing. Sometimes I felt tired because I worked and studied at the same time, but I never gave up.

Today, I am still studying Marketing, and I feel proud of everything I have achieved. My parents have always believed in me, and their support has been one of the biggest reasons for my success.

This experience taught me that every step in life is important, and with effort, discipline, and family support, I can achieve my goals.

1. Moving from Bucaramanga to Medellín

Eight years ago, I moved from Bucaramanga to Medellín because my family and I wanted a better future. Starting a new life in another city was difficult, but I learned to adapt, become stronger, and never give up. Now I am about to become a profession and to improve my life conditions.

Looking back...
If I had stayed in Bucaramanga, I would not have had the opportunities that I have today.

2. The Death of My Grandmother

My grandmother was a very important person in my life. When she died, I felt heartbroken because I lost someone who always supported me and loved me unconditionally. Her death taught me to value every moment with the people I love.

Looking back...

3. The Death of My Grandfather

When my grandfather died, I couldn't say goodbye to him because I wasn't able to be with him. It was one of the saddest moments of my life, and I will always remember how much I loved him.

Looking back...
If I had had the chance to see him, I would have said goodbye and thanked him for everything.

4. Studying, Working, and Raising My Daughters

I started my university studies while I was raising my two daughters and working every day. Balancing my family, my job, and my education was very difficult, but I stayed focused and never gave up. That experience made me stronger and more determined.

Looking back...
If I had given up, I would not have achieved my goals.

5. Leaving My Daughters Alone While We Worked

One of the hardest moments in my life was leaving my daughters alone at home while my partner and I worked. We made that decision because we wanted to give them a better future, even though it was very painful for us. That experience taught me the value of sacrifice and perseverance. Now they can see how much we love them, since love involves sacrifice too!!!

Looking back...
If we had had another option, we would have spent more time with our daughters.

My Dream of Going to University/ Geraldine 

# data[].attributes.body
Since I was young, I always wanted to study at a university. However, I couldn't do it because my family and I didn't have enough money. I felt sad, but I never gave up on my dream.

One day, I learned about SENA and saw it as a great opportunity. Before I started my program, I researched different universities. I discovered that SENA had an agreement with Esumer, so I made a plan. From my first day at SENA, I studied with the goal of transferring to Esumer through the homologation process.

I worked hard, completed my program, and achieved my goal. Today, I am studying for my professional degree at Esumer. I feel proud because I am making my dream come true.

This experience taught me that dreams take time, but with patience, planning, and hard work, they can become reality.

1. When My Mom Left Home

When my mom left home, I felt very sad and confused. I missed her every day and it was a difficult time for my family. I learned to be stronger and to appreciate the people I love.

If my mom had stayed at home, I would have felt happier.

2. When I Failed Seventh Grade

When I failed seventh grade, I was disappointed because I didn't study enough. I felt embarrassed and I had to repeat the school year. After that, I understood the importance of studying.

If I had studied harder, I would have passed seventh grade.

3. When My Cell Phone Was Stolen

One day my cell phone was stolen. I was upset because I lost my photos, my contacts, and important information. Since then, I have been more careful with my belongings.

If I had been more careful, my phone wouldn't have been stolen.

4. When I Stopped Studying

A few years ago, I stopped studying for a long time. I lost many opportunities and I felt that I wasn't moving forward. Later, I decided to study again and improve my future. Now I feel I've been making my dreams come true, and I'm a role model for my little daughters.

If I had continued studying, I would have had more opportunities.

5. When I Broke Up with My First Boyfriend

When I broke up with my first boyfriend, I felt heartbroken and lonely. It was a difficult experience, but it helped me grow and become a stronger person. I learned to depend on myself (and not on others). I demonstrated myself that I could move forward.

If we had communicated better, our relationship might have lasted longer.
