Award "Merito a la Juventud"

This past August I had the honor to be recognized by my home town "Francisco I. Madero" in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico by receiving the award "Merito a la Juventud 2018" in the category of Culture.


After coming back from the recitals I gave this summer in Europe I had a chance to pay a quick visit to my family back in my hometown (Francisco I. Madero) in Mexico. It caught me by surprise that the news about my recitals reached out my hometown. I was contacted by the council of my hometown saying that they wanted to recognize people who are originally from "Francisco I. Madero" and have been successful outside of the country. I was chosen to be that person in the category of Culture. They held a ceremony later in August where they gave more awards to other people in the category of: Sports, Technology and Science. I wasn't able to attend but my parents received the award for me.


I thank God for the talents He has given me and for every opportunity that I've had so far in the USA.


This award means a lot to me because it serves as an example to the future generation that with grit, perseverance and hard work you can reach your goals and succeed in whatever you propose.
