Camila, 22, is studying medicine at Universidad de Los Andes in Tachira, Venezuela. Before university, she struggled with time management.
“I used to prioritise other fun things over my study time, and was learning slowly and poorly. Now I have my study time as a priority, and put an hour and a date to everything. And it’s made learning so much easier and more enjoyable.”
With support from a mentor, Camila has gained confidence and a new outlook. Now, Camila leads weekly sessions teaching study skills and values to younger girls.
“I helped kids get better at schoolwork and saw them grow in confidence. I led by example and saw I could also be a source of inspiration for others. I felt very proud seeing the young girls I taught realise their potential, and see improvements not only in their studies, but also their everyday lives.”
Her experience has reshaped her goals.
“Before I only thought about what benefits my dreams would bring to me, and now I see how my success could help others. Seeing my own improvement with the help I received from my mentor, I now want to be something like that to other young girls.”
