what physical chemistry mathematics
rays serves me
who has not said this after
to be frustrated to not be able in an exercise
I know they said it because
sincerely, I also and that is that
that we were little ones in school we
have gotten into their heads that there are things
so difficult that we will never be able to
do them is why we are afraid of
even try
we think that his numbers and calculations do not
they have no goal but what they do not
you know is that each one of us are
scientists every day without giving us
account
which brings me to the questions that most
they make me with this that I like the
science but anna cristina because he wants
be scientific all those things and you
they use in the real world
it would not be better for you to study to be
lawyer or doctor
It turns out that since I was little
I liked knowing the reason of everything
like any child who during his
first years of life his words
favorites were that like why to
what was so serious the matter this
ask that my parents bought me a
giant question and answer book
about science physical literature and many
things more interesting I also
they seemed entertaining
in that book I found things like
decomposition of the rainbow light or
because the sky is blue simple things
but at the same time fascinating
the truth is I think it’s lucky that
have given that book because of not being
so my creativity was for the
floors as I think it happens with the
people as they grow and
they lose their curiosity just because nobody
he never gave them answers or they were told
that your questions are too
useless and they already improve in silence
also with time we have gone
forming the idea that science is
reserved for a few crazy people with the
disheveled hair that are isolated only to
write infinite mathematical formulas
but the truth
is that scientists in people like
any of us like any of
US
who ask themselves unusual questions
exactly as we did it
all when we were children
and that’s when I realized that
we are surrounded by science and we can not
climb it even if we want is there
since we got up and we’re
glued to the floor by gravity up
when we were in elementary school and already
We knew how to use something that years later
we would suffer in physics classes
the movement evenly accelerated and
Newton’s laws that we started them
use when we learned to drive in
bicycle and how are the discoveries
scientists that we use all the
days like nikola alternating current
tesla or the gps based on the theory of
very einstein
things that were discovered throughout
of many centuries and that now the
we use as real professionals
A while passed and I was already 12 years old
when I was in the courtyard of my school
and I saw some girls that were throwing
a balloon that they told me would come
up to the stratosphere
I was so surprised that when
high school arrives first
I did was enter astrophysics
at the beginning it got a bit complicated and in
my mind thought I do not belong
here they are much smarter
that I and it’s true are always going to have
people who are going to know a little more than
us but not why we’re going to leave
to do what we like
I came across a group of girls who
they were just like I did not know anything
but we all had the desire to
risk to know a little more and let’s
under the guidance of my teacher pablo team
Tenesaca who without a doubt I admire
because he tries every day to
that teenagers do not get discouraged
and never let our curiosity of
side
I also found the experiments
in which he worked as for example
a weather station to see the
levels of solar radiation and prevent the
skin cancer
and all kinds of scientific experiments
with fluid lasers electricity things
that really seemed fascinating to me
and that’s when I definitely
I lost in the magnificent universe of
science
but what I personally think is
what makes science fascinating is that
it shows us the small and big ones that
We are human beings at the same time but
what happens if we do not use science
simple we become ignorant people
and we do not question what happens to
Around us
we believe blindly in what people
it tells us without questioning previously and
this goes from when we go to the store and
they give us less change without realizing
even the politicians who sell us
false promises just to get a
vote
what brings me to the previous year when
the chair of scientific culture
Spanish proposed a contest of
scientific disclosure for
Latin America and the Caribbean in which
they had more than 950 contributions me
I decided to take a risk and participate
final I had nothing to lose I did
with the theme the higgs boson and for me
surprise is winning
what made me think of it as a
normal girl with a couple of questions without
answer I achieve something like that and there it was
when I realized that the sciences
for everyone no matter who it is because
in the end we are all ordinary people
trying to do something extraordinary
Thank you
