Analida is an outstanding student who dreams of becoming a teacher one day. She is 12 years old and lives with her mother in Quebrada Guabo, the same community that the original founders of Few for Change visited while studying in Panama. Analida has fantastic grades and writes clearly and her determination and spirit shone through clearly throughout her application. Her teacher described her as “respectful…responsible and intelligent…and not afraid to answer or ask questions in class.” She is motivated by the absence of her father, who lives and works away from his family. ”I don’t live with my father,” Analida wrote in her essay, “but that is not a barrier for me.”
