Juan Manzo
Fulton, Missouri, United States
The name Juan is a really common name in Spanish, the same as Jose, but Juan Jose Manzo Ramirez is unique. Juan Jose Manzo Ramirez is the product of good choices. Those good choices and decisions according to the circumstances I had been pass through had gave me the opportunity to develop myself in the three of the most important aspects of my life: emotional feelings, social relationships, and doing my best in what I am doing, for example: as a student.
During my life I had the opportunity to take important decisions that are the reason of my actual success as a student, the success I had in the past as a track and field/cross country runner.
One decision I took that changed my life in all senses is when I decided to go to study to UWC Costa Rica. It is because in that school I fund the person who I love more in this life, I fund my best friends, and it also helped me to create my vision about the world.
My goal in this life is to change the political and social system of my home country (Guatemala), in order to make a more justice, equal, and with more opportunities for the people, especially for those who like me become from poor families, because I know how hard is find opportunities to develop when you are poor. That is why I'm studying Political Sciences at Westminster College.
