I've been chosen for Chevening



Fifteen years ago, I got involved in organizations that allowed me to work to bring progress to my community. It was precisely in those associations, working with young people, doing beach clean-ups, hosting educational radio and television programs, organizing cultural and academic events, and advocating on behalf of the environment that I realized that helping others was my passion—which today has become a personal commitment. 

These experiences made me connect with the people, get to know my country and my community, and discover ways to contribute to the development of Nicaragua, particularly the Caribbean society.

With that love and dedication that I have for my people —and my roots— I would like to share that I have been awarded the Chevening scholarship to study for a master's degree in the United Kingdom. 

It is an honor for me to have been selected among 70,930 applicants worldwide and to be part of the 2% of those chosen for this prestigious and competitive scholarship, which will allow me to continue strengthening my knowledge through academic training and the exchange of experiences with professionals from different parts of the world.

I am also proud to know that I am one of the first from the Caribbean of Nicaragua to receive this scholarship; this motivates me even more to continue raising high the name of the Corn Islands and the Caribbean region of Nicaragua through academic and community initiatives. 

All this is a dream come true and another life plan that is being materialized, where every action is and will always be to continue growing, both personally and professionally, to contribute to the development of my country and the people of the Caribbean.

I am grateful to the Creator for the strength, health and wisdom, to my parents, sisters, friends, academics, Chevening mentors and to all the people who accompanied me in this process. 

I would also like to thank the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the Chevening organization and the British Embassy in San Jose and Managua for the opportunity.

I will make the most of this journey that I will start soon to continue striving to build my surroundings. 

The best is yet to come.
