A Proud San Pedro Foundation Scholarship Recipient!

Angi

Angi grew up in the sunny island of Ambergris Caye, Belize. She is the eldest of 6 children and her mom is a seamstress. During her childhood, she always enjoyed going to school and learning new things.  The hard effort of her mother to ensure that her kids get educated has been her biggest inspiration. In high school years she worked in tandem to her studies. It was a very challenging feat but it became a good opportunity to learn and build character. She graduated with honors from the San Pedro High school in 2006. Subsequently, she began working as a waitress in a local restaurant and was later offered an office job by a relative of the restaurant owner. Her hard work and dedication earned her a timely promotion to take on additional responsibilities with greater opportunity for gaining experience in the work environment. Early in high school, she had discovered her love for accounting and in 2009 she decided it was time to move on and began working for a professional architect with focused responsibilities on accounting. She recently began her studies at the University of Belize in Belmopan majoring on Accounting. Her commitment and passion allowed her to retain a part-time job with her employer and secure assistance from The San Pedro Foundation to make her studies possible. She does not believe in complacency and strongly believes that one must continue to grow and learn because in the end, the only real security that we have in this world is our knowledge and experience.
