For Carlos Correa the panorama in the year 2000 was not at all encouraging: I was studying Law at a university in Tucuman, Argentina, but he could not get a job that would allow him to bear the expenses that higher education implies. Given this, he decided to leave the race and help his father in the business he had.
The history of desertion due to economic complications would not have happened if it had not been for Correa did not lose hope and this week, after 22 years of waiting and several of them of study, it was received.
News website TN published his story: In all this time, Correa got married, had two children aged 9 and 11, and in the meantime, decided to go back to school. Some of them even went during the pandemic.
Some time ago he divorced and was left with the guardianship of the children. His father’s business closed and that was what motivated him, finally, to go out to work: that was how he would sell bingo cards (the Trans-Andean Lottery) on the corner of February 20 and Figueroa Alcorta, in Rosario de la Frontera, province of Talca.
“never lower your arms. I am a believer and I know that God helped me a lot. Of course I did my part and put in a lot of effort and I’m very proud of that. I teach my children that to succeed in life you have to work and study, ”he told TN.
As it did
According to the story of the proud lawyer, while he was studying, he woke up at 04:30. Those first hours of the morning, when the children slept, allowed him to study. Later, when the little ones woke uppicked them up, took them to school and went out to sell.
Some classes were virtual. With his resources, he could only study by phone. That, until a friend arrived:
“I have to give a huge thank you to my friend because the computer he gave me helped me a lot in the study. In the last exam I got a 5, it’s not a very good grade, but it was enough to receive me with an average of 6″.
The future is taken with the same patience that served him to get to this point. He wants to fix up his house and buy a refrigerator. “The title is now going to help me to put it on the Curriculum and to be able to get a blank job. Luckily, my children don’t lack anything.” hill.
