PERSONAL STATEMENT
I have grown in a environment of a lot of changes and adaptations, I have lived in a lot of places, studying in different schools and meeting a lot of people; saying that, I can tell that it is not difficult for me to adapt to changes. I left my native city at the age of six, moving to a lot of different states, till I moved to Zulia state, the place where I did almost my entire high school.
I can tell that the engineering has been present all my life. My mother, who raised me alone, developed as a system engineer, specialist in telecommunications networks and instrumentation; right now she is working as an electronic engineer in Peru, creating machines to convert the plastic and trash into wood. While she was doing her job in Venezuela I helped her and I worked with her in different things, making the job of a sub manager without any complain.
I have always been the person that does a lot of things in the life, I have been in so many sports like professional football, kickball, karate and swimming. Besides unwrap me in sports, I was in the National Orchestra System of Venezuela, standing out for been the only woman playing the percussions in the Zulia orchestra. In said orchestra, in three years I managed to climb between all the positions until I became recognized, I entered the conservatory and I was accepted and requested in more than six different orchestras, with only 13 years old. I was number one in every school that I was, standing out for always encouraging my colleagues to perform cultural and sports activities. Like music festivals and inter school competitions. Also, I use to help as a tutor in math, physics and chemistry.
Medicine has always enchanted me, before deciding to be a biomedical engineer I wanted to graduate in medicine and develop me in the neurology area, I realized that I really would not like to just sit down and check patients, I wanted to develop myself in a research environment, apart from that I also love mathematics, chemistry and physics, so I decided to look for a career that would unite all these aspects and let me create, discover or innovate in every sense of the word, then I found the biomedical engineering. In my last year of high school I did a research work entitled "Analysis of neurological therapy FeedBack as a benefit to treat stress", That's when I finally knew that I wanted to be a biomedical engineer.
Asian culture has always fascinated me, and my love for Korea was born when a family member taught me more about the culture making my interest grow to quite large levels. A friend whom shared the love for South Korea was the one who presented me this scholarship, which I have followed for more than two years determined to apply and win.
I am self-taught, I never needed tutors or anyone to teach me outside of school, so when I saw that the English that they gave me in the high school was insufficient, I decided to learn it by myself through online books, friends, videos and a lot of determination. I can say that I moved forward a lot, until I moved to a new place and there I met a neighbor, a lady from Cuba who had traveled all over the world and spoke English as a native, she taught me what I lacked with books that she had brought from different universities, I did not feel it necessary to enter an academy and obtain my certification since I was studying with said lady, but nevertheless at the moment I am looking for my accreditation in an official institute. After discovering this scholarship I started studying Korean, learning how to read it, how to write it and how to pronounce it, in addition to different basic phrases. I am currently studying in an academy where they teach me the basics of it.
I think that I have every necessary aspect to apply for this scholarship, considering me as a person with high leadership who is completely in love with South Korean culture, and whose biggest dream is to study in Korea, create and encourage big projects that can revolutionize the world of medicine and help many people.
