good night I am had palace

entrepreneur and businesswoman home

Teaching calls of spirit

business of the university of

guajira and good here I will tell you

My story is not looking outside the

answer that is within you makes

some years I read a book called

a life with a purpose of rick warren

in the book I started with the following

question if I give you a

invention that you have never seen

would you know what ingenuity is for you?

I could say it surely

answer is that not because the only one that

can reveal us the purpose is

invention is its creator or the manual of

instructions

the same thing happens with us we are

equipped with gifts and talents skills

skills that make us unique and

many times we with those inventions

We can try to speculate try

arm the look for a functionality

but we may not even achieve

get to know half of the

functions that it has or at worst

cases damage it

sometimes when I see a phone

cellular or any invention I start to

review each of the functions that

have and just start to guess and

many times he came to conclusions

because they put this piece on its own

at home and then it ‘s an opportunity

to check us to look at our

interior and define what we are

acts

God took the job we have a god

so creative that he took the job of

make us unique and unrepeatable and I think

that everyone has the opportunity to

develop that purpose without need

copy to another without

imitate without needing to follow the

advice that your parents dictate to you

friends, your relatives

the story of my life I will summarize

in three stages the first stage are

it starts from my birth to

the 16 years old was born in the beautiful

guajira a land that loves and adore a

land full of contrasts landscapes

warm people and full of diversity

cultural and that I’ve always felt

proud to show the idea talk about

she

I was born in a family where my parents

they always tried hard to give us what

better my brothers and me are four

brothers and my parents started in

this race very early age 17 and 19

years respectively

my mom are eight brothers and she was the

only of those eight brothers who do not

studied a professional career

my uncles had the opportunity to

study in mexico united states

Bogota in different places but my

mom decided to be a mother

I was born at 19 and when

the economic difficulties came in

my family my mom came across the

kitchen and it was one is an art that already

He developed with much love and with much

passion and as I got older and

how he impregnated in each preparation

that made all the love in the world and I

I’m falling in love with that job but now

has been in charge of keeping all of

children away from the stove

in fact he never learned to cook and

when the second stage of my

life that was at 16 when I

I study my professional career

Bogota

I wanted to started like the first fight

with my parents because I was told that it will

to study and I told him that I wanted

be an actress and they told me actress

you have to study a career

would be and I ask you

study a serious career because to

to study something serious is to do that

you are passionate about what you love to do and that

that is within your essence and I said

well then social communication and I

he said that’s to be on television

so I said good then right

there are many lawyers in the family and I

had a cousin that we were

inseparable and she was going to study

law

she chose the sergio university

grove and let’s live in front of the

university and I said I have to catch

something from the sergio grove and it was

then when looking at all the

Careers offered to find finances

and foreign trade

Look, it’s mine and it was a race that

I really chose the name because

I said no one has studied it is a

new career and it’s like two careers in

one and that’s why I chose finance and

foreign trade in sixth semester I had

the opportunity to start my career

professional since I started working

they opened some opportunities for me

some companies and I started to work and

believe me it lasts several years in the

different companies and my escape was

bathroom

I escaped to the bathroom cubicle and

cried inconsolably because I

I said this is not my thing I felt

dam and I started to hate that little sound of

inter of the computer that becomes

when work is becoming more and more

monotonous

That’s when my colleagues

of work he always talked to them about

restaurants that I was going to ride and I started

to dream of making restaurants

thematic ones that sold culture and

tourism of the guajira in the capital of

country

it was like that when I started writing

the thesis of the university a

La Guajira themed restaurant in

the city of bogota that everything

they saw

that restaurant they could buy and in

a restaurant so crazy in my head

but I know that one day that’s going to be

a reality

the restaurant had three levels and was

the high the average and the low guajira and in

each level could experience the

Sound of the sea

the breeze a lot of things because

It was a sensory restaurant

that was in my mind and well

they passed the passage of time resigned without

fear of my work in the different

companies from bogotá because I knew that

It was my thing then when the

holidays

I saw that all my friends were coming

for riohacha and I said I am the

only I’m going to stay in Bogota

then I got to where my boss in

December and I told him resigned me

I was coming enjoying my vacation lasted

15 days in Riohacha and returned to Bogotá

to greet my boss

to my co- workers I was taking him

the respective detail and told me and that

is going to do now I do not know I’m going to look

different opportunities I will look and not

they had suddenly found me

a replacement and my boss was telling me and not

they want to come back I said it will be out

up to lopez and now as the opportunity

I said good is fine when I came back

to see requalified because it coincided

that he was in sixth semester

when he returned he was already in eighth then

I called requiered not as a technician

but as a technologist and then as

professional so I reduce four

times and four times they re qualified me

then I understood that many times

we take risks and those risks have

reward sometimes we are afraid to let go

Sometimes we get used to staying

immersed in something that we do not enjoy that

we do not love that we do not enjoy and I never

I was afraid of is the third stage of my

lifetime

at 30 years old I decide to come to riohacha

fleeing a bit from a relationship

stormy I had from soy

now that it ends and returns it ends if

you come back and they make you crazy and I

I said I’m going to Rioja

Look, look at my land as a

opportunity to reconnect with my

origin with my family

how the guajira looked and that feeling

that gives many people rest from

tranquility as to arrive a paradise

and that’s what I thought I said

away from this I think it is the best stage

of my life

I do not think I’m sure I knew the biggest

love of my life and the love of god that

love that makes you get all that good

that was inside of you that allows you

know t

and good was the opportunity to

explore to risk a little more

to make more determined when I arrived

to riohacha the situation in my house

It was very difficult and they told me that

had here in rioacha is complicated

because here everything moves by lever

that was the first lie that I

I removed from my head because I considered

that things do not move by lever

when you do things well with

dedication with effort with commitment

With love there is no lever worth

Your best recommendation is your job and

the things that you do

I started with my mom says mommy let’s go

to sell lunch on weekends no

we started selling lunches

I confess I was sorry I called

my friends started calling one by one

and do not look I’m selling lunches already

all made him an exotic name

then people told me and you sell

then I disguised the dishes myself

he said he is selling something with a leg

as I said patacón temptation or you

he put strange names to each preparation

what was it doing and so we started this

exercise on the road my mom will

associated with an aunt and start a

family restaurant and I left

waitress help my mom had many

moments that my friends at school or

people who know me asked me

you did not study anything I had the

Bogot opportunity to train me

professional career specialize and

then you can come up here that I

I told my friends how angry

appointment

yes, I am a professional in finance

study specialization in projects

but inside I felt like that is the

shock but it’s there when god too

work with you takes away all that

vanity

all those crazy things that we sometimes have

in the head and makes you original that makes

different makes you be a person with

a healthy essence noble and good huh

on that road I started to watch and I

said this restaurant when I

I finish lunch usually

I want a sweet dessert and I

said my mom does not sell desserts

it was there when he started asking

Mommy , I know what I’m going to do

start selling desserts in the

restaurant is already the storm is going

because my mom said I did not kill

so that my children get into the

kitchen and there are two differences between your

history and mine she has leto com

I chose that career and chose it

because I saw as the developed beautiful with

love and he was asking me like a

dessert of the three most basic milks and

he told me to give him liquid milk cream

of milk and condensed milk and I thank you

Mommy who makes a recipe like that

no one

then I started looking for recipes in

youtube I started looking for recipes in

books but believe that when God

deliver something he trains you in that not

you need to have money you do not need

have relationships and you do not need to have

technical knowledge in one area

determined

my teacher was a little voice inside

that told me paul this this this this and

later I saw famous people who

they made those preparations and I said

how it came out to me that’s more had

moments that told me I had 500

Desserts and I put my hands

splash was already beginning to decorate and then

take a picture of yes agent moment I made

that the recipes that until now

I have my restaurant are recipes that

they come from heaven

believe me it is something that is coming to me

to mind because he has already made several

courses trying to look for that

professionalization and those courses

I have not applied it yet, so I

I say I have a little where of things

still to offer my land and

to offer to the world because I do not want

let that be money here how

came through calls for

entrepreneurship

I became the strongest in the world I

they offered an entrepreneurship course

cultural and how I was not doing anything

I said ‘well let’s study and began

attend several classes in the cn in the

Chamber of Commerce all

training they are recommending me

did and I found out that the government

financed many calls for

entrepreneurship participate in the first

tourism alliance undertakes an alliance

between the chevron the chamber of commerce

and the breast of which I was the beneficiary

for 15 million pesos, so the

Silver is not the first need

Then he participated in another call for

the government of the guajira undertakes and

was the beneficiary of three million

pesos and I said I go by fund

undertake that is the dinner of which

I also had the opportunity to be

advises at dinner and when I said this is

mine but there came a moment that as

was an advisor you go up like that thing in

head and goodbye to do projects and

It was there when I introduced myself and I did not

they approved and I said my god lie I do not

I know how to do projects

You’re the one that you do for me and

I appeared again in the call

and today I am a beneficiary of 124 million

of weights

at that time apply to the top when

come to all that you already say what

I have but that’s where that began

fireproof

that test in which you play when

they took out your forces begin the forces

of God

and there are many times when it is not

never wanted to exist has never

wanted to throw in the towel but yes there

many times where I hours where

he spends long days of work where he does not

You have a social life where your family has

friends

everyone complain about trying a

relationship also becomes difficult not

I have time even to abc review a

whatsapp a message and they are things that

soon there are times when he came to

my house and and you feel lonely and you say

my god, something else is needed but

I also realize that I am

generating employment that I am generating

story and that I’m doing things that

they are worth to me guajira

I feel proud every day when I

I speak to my students and I tell them that

never stop dreaming that everything

everything in your mind is in your mind

your heart if it’s there you can not

achieve dreams never will never

stay in the air when you get ready

doing it is a reality

thank you very much

[Applause]
