Day 6
This day I was invited to a special panel were I has been selected to be one of the panelist. This was my best day so far. Not because I got out of class, but because I got to discuss topics that are of great value for Guatemala.
It consisted of discussing the value of “social enterprises”. A term that I personally find a bit funny. The idea is to give low income people a chance to have a self-sustainable business in order to increase their income with the assistance of different types of organizations. I focused mainly on the efficiency of the private sector on achieving those small businesses. I said that getting help from the government is inefficient and dangerous. Our job is to create awareness in the private sector for these projects and manage it not as an obligation from established businesses, but as an opportunity to give opportunities of those in need in a voluntary way.
When I returned to UFM, my classmates helped me to catch up. They explained to me how we had to write this blog, which by the way I dislike because I am a person who prefers to confide in a few persons and not the whole world.
Fermats Last Theorem
I have to admit that when I was in school I had one of the worsts grades in math and physics, because I was not really interested in learning these kind of subjects. This year I have promised myself to change my point of view about these subjects with our new culture of learning in MPC. With the video that we have seen about the Fermats last Theorem I comprehended more about the application of these subjects in our entirely life and how there are people that really appreciate this kind of subjects and how they use them in many ways in their life. I was encouraged to learn more about math, physics and geometry and apply them in my future projects of life.
