About

I'm from Venezuela. I have nineteen years old. I have volunteered in Venezuela with my church's group and my school friends. I Know Spanish, English and French. I will learn Russian, German, Italian and learn more French. The GPA in Venezuela is measured in a scale from zero to twenty. My GPA in Vzla is eighteen point five. I'm studying Engineering at Santa Fe College (Minor). I will transfer to University of Florida to finish my Bachellors in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. My brother is an Aeronautic Engineer. Since I was a child, I used to tell him "You make the planes and I transform them into cars." Because we used to watch programs about science and technology, I want to make things to help Earth and every organism in it, and I've always dreamed with watching the earth from the space. Either my father and my brother thought me how to fix things. I used to repair electronics, mechanics and electric things in my house and playstation remote controlers of my friends. My mom is a Pediatrician. I saw her helping people every day. Because she showed me her job, I want to help people that has handicap. I would like to make prosthesis for them. Because I want to make the best prosthesis that works with the brain, I will study neuroscience and neurotechnology.
