Dear Undergraduate students,
Congratulations on your resumption after a while of staying at home courtesy of the FG-ASUU feud. I am writing you this short piece and you may decide to frame it so that it serves as a constant reminder to you.

Back in UNAD, precisely in 200l, I had my first carryover which was STAT 202, a 4-unit course. I was angry with myself and then I thought about something. Why not redirect this anger to a better me? This propelled me to work harder and graduated with a 3.95.

That CGPA landed me two fully funded Master's positions in South Korea and China back in 2013. It's never a crime to have fun but associating with colleagues, friends and motivational speakers who tell you that grades do not matter is counterproductive. Please, flee from them.

This is the time to focus on:
1. Your CGPA
2. Leadership experience
3. Volunteering experience
4. Global Internships
5. Expertise
6. Professional affiliations.
I will always be here to be your cheerleader. I wish you the very best!
God bless.
