January 8th, 2010: the day of the BECA orientation meeting for the students who received technical career scholarships this year.
55 students received scholarships and 55 were expected to be there.
How many students would show up to claim their scholarship? I figured 45. Life is complicated around here so I thought 10 might go by the wayside, for whatever reason.
52 excited young Nicaraguans showed up.
I cannot express to you the joy I felt congratulating each of the 52 students, one by one, and telling them: "Usted merece la beca" ("You deserve the scholarship").
I knew beforehand that Friday, January 8, 2010 would be a day that I would never forget for the rest of my life.
I wasn't wrong.
Big smile on my face from this news. Great job and felicidades to all of the becados. Well-deserved!
