"You can change the circumstances"

By Beatriz Gandara | Project Leader

Happy, cooperative, dreamer and with a great desire to excel, these are some of the qualities of our scholarship recipient: Sharol. She lives with her parents, David and Lucrecia, they work to provide for their 5 children. Don David works in construction, while Doña Lucrecia sells tamales. They want their children to have a better future and are committed to their children’s education.

Sharol joined the Scholarship Program when she was in 4th grade. At the beginning she was a child who had difficulty speaking in public and what helped her to overcome her fear was the presentation of the Life Project. She has always shown herself to be participative, dedicated and very friendly. Her classmates always look up to her with questions, as she is very studious.

She is currently in 3rd grade at the high school in her community and comments that the main difficulty she has had during these years at the elementary level is getting used to taking different subjects.

Her teacher says that “in these difficult times, is when she has learned to fight harder for what she wants”. She has had many difficulties, both family and personal, but she has managed to overcome them and learn from each situation. Her goal is to graduate to prove to her parents that each and every sacrifice they make for her and her siblings to study is worth it. 

Sharol dreams of graduating with a bachelor’s degree in science and letters, and then applying to the police academy to become part of the National Police force. She wants to serve the country and, thus, be able to change circumstances.
