Millennium Fellowship Project: Ciudadanos del Mundo
I created a survival guide containing basic concepts and tools to thrive in life once the student graduates from high school. This book, is written by and for young people in a very casual and friendly way, focusing on giving advice and tips not given in their high schools. It gives the student resources to properly enter the workforce if he or she decides to take this path: with a guide to fill out their resumé, their rights as an employee and tips for interviews. Secondly, it gives the student instructions to how to look for the best universities depending on their current resources, degree interests, academic standing, as well as a list of current student federal scholarships to apply for and the necessary documents for all the application. Finally, it includes a section with information about the Sustainable Development Goals and how to apply them in their future paths. This book serves as a guidance for students to realize that they have a chance to do and become more, most of the times they only need that "little push."
