Bryan García-Teacher

In My Own Words April 2021 "Hi dear family HEDU.org. I am so thankful to God for giving me the chance to write a little bit about my experience at BECA.org now HEDU.org. My name is Bryan Garcia Rodriguez. I graduated from the HEDU.org program. I studied education as a technical career, I am a 26 year old, I live in Masaya, Nicaragua. I will share with you about my experience within the foundation, back in 2015 I knew about it because of my brother was part of BECA.org who gave the chance to support high school grad that cannot continue with their studies due to economic resources, by that time the office was at INTECOMP and I went there with my dad taking all necessary documents, I was excited of continuing with my studies and having the chance I start filling out a series of documents. After completing the process I had to wait and see if I qualified for the program because there were a bunch of solicitations, after a couple of days I got a phone call giving me the great news that I had been chosen and what was the process so I could get my technical career. First, it was the computer and typing course that last three months, then three more months of social work on which I was in charge of a group of kids at the Cristobal Rugama Elementary School, over there we support different teachers also I was part of the social work on Saturdays so we had to do cleaning, visit Old’s people home and orphanage, it was a unique experience. Once I finished the six month I was taken to visit some places on which we could study: INTECNA, POLISAL and Escuela Normal Ricardo Morales Avilés, they informed us about the different careers they offered. I start my career back in 2017 on which I chose Education, I had great experiences since year one though out that year I had to travel everyday then for years two and three I decided to take internship so I could take advantage of any extra classes, sharing time with kids was satisfactory because I learned things I did not know like how and why kids behave one way or another. Thank God I graduated and I can proudly say that I am an ex-student of Escuela Normal Ricardo Morales Aviles from 2019. Nowadays I have the opportunity of working for the MINED-Masaya as a Municipal Teaching Technique for young and adult people. I am so thankful first with God and the foundation and sponsors for the support that they gave me on my studies and in the same way they can continue supporting other youth like me so each of them can get a scholarship so they fight to continue studying and be a good professional that can support the society, remember ¨Never stop fighting for what you want, life will give us obstacles but the limits are ourselves and in that way be successful for ourselves¨ with this I motivate to each youth that would like to continue with their studies so they know more about HEDU.org. In conclusion I wish you a lot of blessings. My best wishes for all of you. * Translated by Elvin Palacios (April 2021)
