Imagine a little girl watching a documentary on television about an African tribe for whom water was sacred because it was very rare. This girl was me, I was 8 years old and it was the first time I understood that natural resources are limited and that we do not have the same accessibility and accessibility to water and food. Shortly after, I became interested in environmental and food issues and became a Greenpeace volunteer against genetically modified organisms. Then I read a story about expectations for agriculture by 2050 and realized that the planet needs science-based solutions like biotechnology. This experience and others motivated my life project and motivated me to apply for the Agris Mundus Master of Science. During my youth, I participated in several religious missions in rural and indigenous regions of my country. In Guerrero, coffee farmers spent a lot of time harvesting a bag of coffee beans and then sold them at a very low price; the price was equivalent to two and a half liters of milk. What could they do with this money if they were a family of five? I also remember the two community stores in a very poor village in Oaxaca: they only offered sugary drinks, sweet bread, milk, candy and chips, but no fruit or vegetables. How could they improve their nutritional status? I also remember a woman who lived alone with her three children because her husband was going to work in the United States; they only ate beans and tortillas, and sometimes eggs from his two chickens. I also remember a family that received milk and vitamins for children from the state, but gave them to the animals. All of these experiences made me wonder how could I effectively help people? At that point, I was already studying nutr...... middle of paper...... measurable results, a feature required for doing research. Curiosity and creativity are two fundamental elements of my personality and they motivate me to seek the latest information and create solutions to food and nutrition problems. I think I'm good at working in a team, I always try to listen to others and be resilient to different opinions and suggestions. Additionally, I can work with people of different ages, genders, education levels and socio-economic status; it made me a good field worker. I am a very analytical person with flexible thinking, which has helped me a lot in coming up with creative solutions for my patients. All this made the little girl a perfect candidate for the Master of Science Agris Mundus, because, she, I have a very experience supported the motivation and the Msc will be a very important step to achieve my goals and help people.
