This quote from the movie "A Knight's Tale" resonated deeply with me. Like the protagonist, I came from humble beginnings and shared the same dream of transforming my future. My journey took me from a modest home in Argentina to becoming a citizen of Sweden, proving that you can create the life you envision. Through every challenge and setback, I've found new ways to push forward, using resilience, optimism, and creativity as my driving forces. Today, I can proudly say I've changed my stars.
Along the way, I discovered my gift for bringing people together - a natural ability that has turned into my superpower. I now channel this energy into leading my study group and building communities wherever I go.
In my free time, you'll find me at the gym, studying, playing music, watching a good movie, or meeting up with friends.
Spread Positivity: Growing up in Argentina taught me the value of human connection. I carry these values with me here in Sweden, where I make it a point to greet reception staff, cleaning personnel, and others I encounter in my daily life with a genuine "hi" and "goodbye." With my colleagues, I've brought a touch of Argentine warmth through fist bumps, adding that physical connection that's so natural in my culture but less common here.
One thing I love to do when eating out is to compliment the kitchen staff before I leave. I do this because I know what it's like to be on the other side—people usually only speak up when there's a complaint. I bet it's not often that they hear a positive comment about the dish they prepared. These might seem like small gestures, but they're part of who I am and where I come from. That's what I aim for: making positivity louder, bringing a bit of Argentine warmth to Swedish daily life.
Have Fun, Make Others Have Fun: I make it my mission to find joy in everything I do - from the smallest tasks to the biggest challenges. And just as deliberately, I look for ways to create fun moments for others. It's more than just sharing good vibes; it's about actively seeking opportunities to make experiences enjoyable for everyone around me.
Kaizen (Continuous Improvement): As the Japanese say, "Kaizen"—the idea of getting better every day. Whenever I find something I can improve, I work on it, tweak it, and strive for progress the next time around. Lately, I’ve been refining my weekend routine to make the most of it and keep growing. Like we say in my community, To the Moon!
"Depende de Nosotros" (It’s On Us): Messi once said this in a motivational speech before Argentina played Brazil at Maracanã, where they went on to win their first international tournament in 28 years. For me, "It’s on us" means taking full responsibility for my own goals and making the most out of every day. And that despite the circumstances, it’s up to me to keep pushing forward for what I want to achieve.
