I remember that the first year of biomedical engineering I had to do an exam called physics. I am doing a secondary school where maths was very important like subjects, but in reality I had a teacher that didn’t explain in a very good way physics. So when I started the course here in the Polytechnic of physics itself, I found it very difficult. In general, the subject I believe that it’s very important to analyze, to discover, but the concepts that are under the subject itself are very difficult to understand for the first time. So I decided to study and I decided to spend a lot of time on the subject and at the end of the year there was the exam. The exam was very difficult, but finally I passed it so it was probably one of the best days that I spent in the Polytechnic because I was very happy. And at the end of the year I realized that I tried to do something that was very difficult, but after this I realized that I was obtaining very good results. So I was very happy for myself and obviously for my studies.

I remember that in the first year of biomedical engineering, I had to take an exam called physics. I attended a secondary school where math was a very important subject, but I had a teacher who didn't explain physics very well. So when I started the course here at the Polytechnic, I found it very difficult. In general, I believe that the subject is very important to analyze and discover, but the concepts within the subject itself are very difficult to understand the first time. I decided to study and spend a lot of time on the subject, and at the end of the year, there was the exam. The exam was very difficult, but I finally passed it, which was probably one of the best days I had at the Polytechnic because I was very happy. At the end of the year, I realized that I had accomplished something very difficult, and after this, I noticed that I was obtaining very good results. I was very happy for myself and obviously for my studies.
