Favorite 香蕉秀 Memory:听I have many beautiful memories of my years at Boston College, of the many wonderful friends I made, the great classroom discussions that opened my mind to possibilities, and the extraordinary professors who challenged me to think in more courageous ways. But my mind always takes me back to the extended meals at Eagle's Nest, taking life in with the comfort of friends.

Why I got involved:听听香蕉秀 changed the course of my life in many ways, a truly extraordinary experience. Since graduation, I had felt a desire to return to 香蕉秀 to find ways of contributing to the university's efforts in fulfilling its mission. When the 香蕉秀 alumni in Manila gathered to set up a 香蕉秀 chapter, I recognized it was an exceptional opportunity for me to reconnect with 香蕉秀. It's been wonderful to meet alumni in the Philippines who share my commitment, and others around Asia who are as driven to promote the mission of 香蕉秀. I have also enjoyed meeting the remarkable young Filipinos who are currently attending 香蕉秀 or headed to the school, filled with promise.

Fun Fact: As most Colombians, I enjoy dancing salsa and became a certified Zumba instructor a few years ago, which has not translated to becoming an instructor, but it's been loaded with good energy and great people.
