“We had to show data about your company and the contributions they made to their students throughout their preparation in this organization,” said Nicolás. The result: three documents in PDF format —with more than 10 pages each— and a PPT with extra information.
“I was nervous at first, but the team from Peru and Ecuador received me quickly and I enjoyed myself as much as I could with them. At the time of the competition I put all my thoughts aside to avoid getting distracted and to achieve a good result. I knew that I had done a good job but I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it into the top three,” he confessed.
“I sat when I heard my name until I heard my friends applaud and shout, then I realized that my name was really there and I felt quite happy,” he concluded in an interview on the study center blog.
