00:26I'm a Christian Medecina
00:28and that was a big concern for my family, because we knew that there was no sufficient resources
00:35to pay for a medical school or a private university.
00:37The life in my house was normal, like any other teacher of bachillerato.
00:41As my mom always told me, I never felt anything, but I never had anything in abundance,
00:46because she always told me what I needed, not what I wanted, because there were no commodities for such a
00:53thing.
00:54For my dad, it was a very pleasant news, and at the beginning we didn't believe it.
01:00When we signed documents, we came from the university, it was like, this is all, and he told me that
01:06congratulations.
01:07At the beginning, one has a lot of fear of many things, of how to do the career, how to
01:12do the career, how to do the treatment,
01:14but in reality, one expects that he will be able to do something similar to what he had in the
01:20college.
01:20Well, my mom was very worried because I didn't know Bogotá, and I really arrived without knowing anything.
01:28I was a small town, where there were only taxis, there were not even buses, or Transmilenio.
01:35I arrived at the terminal, I came to a bus from Barcusa Santander, near Bogotá, and they robbed me.
01:44What most difficult was the step from a city like Cartagena, where I came from, to have left my family,
01:51my wife, my friends,
01:52and the step from here, to the University of Los Andes, the difficulty and the requirements of this.
01:57I wanted to study international relations since I was in 10th grade, but I didn't see that possibility as something
02:04that was accessible.
02:05So I decided to present myself to the national university, to the public contractor, to have the opportunity to study
02:11in the superior education.
02:14So I went to the public contractor, but a few days later, they informed me about the program Ser Pilo
02:20Paga,
02:20and I found that opportunity as a way to study what I really wanted to study.
02:27I hoped it was a little easier, but they already told me that it was more difficult.
02:32I lived in the city of Bolívar, in Candelaria La Nueva, and I have to travel to the entire Bogotá.
02:47That's the record I spent two hours and a half.
02:49Outside of the university, in Bogotá, I have seen a lot of people, perhaps by being afro,
02:58when I got a bus in Transmilenio and Transmilenio, the people like to take their bags,
03:05and to try to help them to go to what people think.
03:10When I arrived here to this city, I met with great things, I like the city, I like the climate,
03:16the people,
03:17and I have easily adapted to this city.
03:20To improve, I think a lot of things are fine, but there are people who do not meet all the
03:27requirements,
03:28for example, the extract, but they are people who have a 3 extract or more or less with that level,
03:35and they cannot be beneficiaries, and they do not have the resources to be beneficiaries of this program.
03:43In first place, I don't agree with the name, I don't think that someone who does well in the IFES
03:47should be called PILO only for that.
03:49In being PILO Pagados, they have given several benefits, for example, they can exchange,
03:54they can do a program, they can do a program, they can do a course intersemestral,
03:57and I think that it is a way to improve a lot of the program,
04:01because I do not have all the benefits that they have.
04:03It is a little bit more of facilitation for the students who come to the next program,
04:08with respect to how they can change their career more easily, or their university more easily.
04:15It is important that there are spaces of support for the new PILO,
04:19let's say, let's say, a website or a program of support,
04:23where there are teachers who give the information necessary for the installation in the city,
04:28and they are given the available rooms, apartments, or spaces in which they can be installed.
04:35What happens is that suddenly it is very difficult to see the universities
04:39what are the problems that each one comes to a college,
04:42most of the public schools.
04:44So it is difficult to see the universities in which one comes wrong,
04:47for the same thing that there are so many people.
04:49When I graduated, I wanted to work in an ONG of restitution of land,
04:55or also work in the field of intellectual property and rights of author,
05:00and, obviously, I have always had the confidence that I am going to be the next Gabriel García Márquez.
05:05I want to go out here and continue studying,
05:08to do a post-grading,
05:13I don't know if here in the university or outside.
05:16I want to study abroad in Harvard, precisely.
05:18I would like to work in the Ministry of Foreign Relations
05:21or in an embassy in the United States.
05:24I would like to aspire to a scholarship to study abroad,
05:27because I've always wanted to study abroad in France,
05:30to achieve a post-grading there,
05:32to then return to the country and help it in a better way.
05:35I would like to create a company,
05:37I would like to create a company like chocolate,
05:40I would like to be like Ferrero.
05:42Well, what I want to do after finishing my career
05:45is to apply those knowledge that I learned,
05:48helping other people in an area of rights that are more human rights.
05:52I would like to help my region,
05:54and, as I like medicine a lot, I would like to do it by that part.
05:57I would like to do it by that part.
05:57I would like to be maybe Secretary of Salud Departamental
06:01and, why not, Minister of Salud.
06:33You
