Scholar: Maximiliano Senno
University: Universidad Tecnologica Nacional
Major: Chemical Engineering
Maximiliano, one of our seven scholars sponsored by VISIONAR, was awarded a full scholarship in February 2010. In December 2010 Maximiliano just completed his first year of college. The excerpt below is from a report that Maximiliano sent to VISIONAR's Board members updating us on his experience during this important transition from high school to college.
"These last months school has been more complicated; we had one midterm after another (and more coming up soon), sometimes without much lecture from professors (but rather, self-study). For instance, in Analytical Geometry and Algebra, we had a 20 minute explanation of the topics that would be in the exam. However, I figured things out, and got a 10 in the exam (highest grade). (...) With Physics, something similar happened. The professor gave the topics to study one day before the exam, so we were all scrambling to get ready. I don't have the grade on that one yet, but I am hoping for something similar to Analytical Geometry.
As far as my classmates, things could not be better. I am very happy with them, so I hope our friendship will continue to grow for a long time. I befriended a guy who lives in a town outside of San Francisco (Argentina). He comes over to my apartment almost every day and we study together. When the weather is nice, we go sit in the park and study there. But during finals, I think it will be better to study at home so that we don't get distracted.
It is hard to believe that the year is almost over. Before we know it, it will be "summer break". I write with quotation marks before I am planning to use the summer months to review the material I studied, a bit in a hurry, this past year. I hope to have enough time.
I hope to keep sending you good news every time so that you know there is value in the efforts the VISIONAR team and donors make for us. As always I am grateful."
We believe that Maximilianoe will go into his second year of college with continued success. We are very proud of him and we hope that you, the supporters and donors, feel the same.
