We create our own destiny, it’s just a matter of choosing what we want and being perseverant. Get inspired by the stories of seven ALFA Foundation graduates and how they found their calling.
We create our own destiny, it’s just a matter of choosing what we want and being perseverant. Finding our life purpose requires reflection and self-knowledge, so we can discover what we are meant to do. Purpose encompasses more than one aspect of our life, it is not only choosing a profession or job, but also having a deep sense of what gives our life meaning.
At ALFA Foundation, students receive support from a counselor who, through tests, interviews and guidance, helps them discover what their purpose is. We will meet several students who have excelled in their determination and obtained a 100% full scholarship at different universities.

“The main challenge I faced was learning to believe in myself. At first during high school, I did not consider myself capable of meeting the standards that my teacher’s expected; later, after a couple of talks with teachers and classmates, I realized the potential I have and how I can achieve whatever I propose. This gave me more confidence in myself and it has helped me face all the challenges that have been presented to me during my academic process in high school and now in university. ”
