By Amelia Cheshire | Development Coordinator
As Aline grew up, she struggled with her community’s treatment of women. She saw other young girls passing up education to start families and live traditional lives, but Aline knew she wanted more. As the fifth born of eight children, Aline fought to be a good example of leadership in her own household, both to her older sisters and younger brothers. Each day, she makes the choice to take risks and work hard rather than waiting for someone else to provide help.
Aline knows that a university education is not something everyone can obtain, so she wants to use this opportunity to give back to others. With a degree in Water and Environmental Engineering, her goal is to work towards using renewable energy sources that can serve her city and country. Aline’s eyes are open to the issues that surround her. With her degree, she will be equipped to overcome the problems she sees and lead those around her into a better future.
Last school year, Aline’s biggest challenge was Mathematics for Engineers. She said these classes were the most difficult, but she was able to work really hard, read a lot of books related to mathematics, find a tutor to help her and she was able to overcome the challenge and do well in her class!
