This was the first question that came to my mind when I was looking for a job, why BECA? At this moment I thought back to all the memories and moments I spent at school with my BECA teachers. One of the reasons that I decided to work with BECA was so that I could give back to BECA for all the opportunities they gave to me when I was a student at San Jeronimo Bilingual School.
I’m currently studying psychology with a specialization in education at college. This was another one of my motivations to start working with BECA. Knowing that I’m putting into practice what I’m learning at university with my job with BECA – and that in some way I am helping my students achieve their full potential, is something that motivates me everyday. Also knowing all the work that BECA does for their students and community and that I get to be a part of it, is really inspiring.
I have always had in the back of my mind that I would like to have my own NGO one day. Like BECA, my NGO would be dedicated to helping people with low resources,(or who don’t have an income) and provide them with a quality education that they would not otherwise have access to. Knowing that BECA is an organization that helps people by giving them a better education and more opportunities is ultimately why I’m with BECA. BECA has the same mission and vision that I want for my future NGO and I’m learning a lot about what it would mean to have my own NGO one day.
