Things have turned out very different than I expected. I was kicked out of school for being a “misfit”. I finally graduated from high school and studied political science. I worked on various projects and unexpectedly ended being a teacher at a public school in a marginalized area of Bogota. I also ended up getting married to a French girl I met during my last year at university. Now I´m thirty years old, I am fond of education, a passionate teacher and youth advocate. I suppose some things are meant to be, such as love and passion.
