All of us have arrived at a type of pivotal moment in our lives: Which way will I go? At the end of last year, two young ladies from the community of La Danta were tasked with answering this question. This year, they are walking confidently along their chosen paths.
In February, Aracelys began her first year studying a degree in Social Work and Lissbeth went to her first class for her degree in Industrial Engineering.
After much personal reflection and with the support of members of the Leaders in Action team through vocational aptitude tests and advising, Aracelys and Lissbeth chose their paths:
Part of what’s so beautiful about Aracelys and Lissbeth’s decisions has to do with the role that they have played in their community. For several years, the two have been members of La Danta’s Youth Committee, helping elementary school kids to overcome academic difficulties through after-school support sessions. Their step to pursue a college degree reflects the message that they impart week after week to little ones in their community: education is valuable. The path Aracelys and Lissbeth have chosen displays their true conviction of the power of education.
