Phase1: Complementary Education

During my time as an Oportunidades Citizen, I learned much more than just academic subjects. I discovered the importance of teamwork and collaboration; I learned to be more organized and to manage my time effectively. I also learned to be more critical and reflective by analyzing information and developing my critical thinking skills. In addition, I learned to be more aware of my own strengths and weaknesses and to look for opportunities to improve and grow as a student and as a person. I am grateful for the education I have received and for the skills and values I am acquiring along the way.

What I like most about the teaching methods at Oportunidades is the dynamism, the respect they have for you, and the freedom to ask any questions and even express our opinions, no matter how crazy they sound, without fear of being mocked or made to feel bad. I've learned a lot in the short time I've been in the Program. I've also discovered that I love Math; the classes are fantastic. I think I have learned a lot and it has been very beneficial in my high school classes.

Through the Program, I learned the values of "CRIARSE", gained self-awareness in areas I had never explored before. I learned to be cooperative, to work hard, to focus on my goals and to never stop learning. Academically, I've learned that I can be very good at writing, reading, and giving speeches, and that while some subjects can confuse me, I can also learn something new and interesting from them. I learn from my classmates, my teachers, and how to be a good Oportunidades Citizen.
