Oh, and I’m kind of a foodie so I love to go out and eat every now and then. I hang out with my friends and my boyfriend as much as possible. I love to get in touch with my family and call them every now and then – they’re hilarious, and I love them. I like to go exercise and relax for a couple hours a week in a group setting.
So, yeah, it’s not just me it has definitely been more than a one-person journey for sure. Every single one of them had an impact on me and my perspective on life and the subsequent decisions I make. A lot of my personal achievements comes from my mother and my family, the mentors, professors and friends- essentially every single person that I met throughout my journey until now. I would like to say that it’s all solely due to the work that I put in, but a significant part of it is due to the help that I have had as well. I think it’s because of how strong willed I am, how determined, and the hard work that I put in. I think that really describes my journey – from the very beginning when I moved here and worked hard to learn the language and master it, doing well in school, and just kind of swimming against the current at every turn, and somehow still succeeding and making it to where I am today. If you could choose one word to describe yourself, what would it be and why? And then I went to Newman for undergraduate, did a post-baccalaureate program here at KUMC, and now I’m an M1 here. I went to Derby High School (go Panthers!). I was born in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, and I lived there for 13 years, then moved to Derby, Kansas with my family and I’ve been here ever since.
