Maria Antonia Chimuco

Maria is 23 years old. Maria dreams of helping people as a nurse just like Jesus helped and cured people.  She has 4 siblings and 8 people live in her home. Her father has given her a beautiful example of work ethic, as he teaches elementary school, even though he only has a high school level education. Her mother helps support the family by selling produce in the market. 

Maria is the first in her family to attend university.
