Hi everyone,
My name is Felipe Grosso, and I’m currently going into my third year at UBC pursuing a major in Honors Economics with a minor in Philosophy. I’m very excited to start this endeavor with all of you. I think the best way of getting to know me is to understand what I want to dedicate my life to. My dream is to become a researcher in the economics of education subdiscipline. I have always been fascinated by the interrelationship between education and the discipline of economics. I believe that the fact that I’m studying at a university such as UBC entails a commitment to my country of Puerto Rico. Specifically, I feel the need to give back to those that don’t have the opportunity to study and learn at world-class institutions. My dream is to explore new ways of thinking about educational systems to decrease educational inequality in Puerto Rico.
Now, why am I taking this class? Because I want to grasp a solid understanding of the cultural, historical, and societal context of Puerto Rico. And what better way of doing so, than to have a class on Latin American Studies. Because of this reason, the opportunity of participating in this experience is one that I cannot pass on. I’m excited for the chance to flourish with people who are committed to learning about our society and motivated to grow as fellow students.
Thanks for reading!
