Why I chose Fletcher: As a career diplomat for a developing
country like Colombia, I needed to build up a solid and broader
understanding of the complexities of the global environment so that
decisions can be based upon strategic and integrated reasoning.
The high academic and professional standards of the faculty and the
community at Fletcher provide a unique wealth of knowledge and
experience to profit from in order to achieve my goals.
As an
educator, I dream of continuing my social commitment to help others
overcome paucity and ignorance through a critical and more integrated
comprehension of the world and the interactions of societies. When I
think of the kind of life I could have had if I had not had the chance
to embrace a book in a classroom instead of a weapon in a mountain, I
strongly renew my commitment to helping rescue future generations from
the temptations of crime, violence and vice.
