“My experience in this first year studying in Australia has been very useful, both for my personal and academic life. The possibility to relate with people from different parts of the world has allowed me not only to learn from their professional experiences, but also to build friendships. Additionally, studying in Australia has strengthened my critical thinking, that has fostered within me the need to analyse my country’s problems and think of possible solutions for them.

This definitely doesn’t happen without facing challenges such as language or the necessity to adapt to a foreign place. But none of this compares to the benefits that this unique opportunity brings with it. This is why I hope that more Latin Americans make the most of this scholarship that will surely generate personal benefits for them, but also social benefits for our countries.”
