Carlos Hernán Bermudez Betancurt - Step 2:

My name is Carlos Hernán Bermúdez Betancur, I'm 41 years old, I'm studying Systems Engineering, I've lived in La Virginia Risaralda many years, a beautiful city, In my age I have many achievements but I still have more goals, one of them travel to many places around the world, such United Kingdom, United States, Mexico, and many other countries, I’ve learned a lot of things of each place that I’ve visited, a thing that I love when I traveled is the food, each country has their specialties, sometimes delicious but spicy too (I hate the spicy food), also I’ve experimented with different kinds of temperatures, from the hottest like a theme park in summer to the coldest like in the border with Canada in winter, one of the last achievement was the past year in United States, I participated in a summer camp in Boca Raton, FL in an event powered by LACCEI, I had the opportunity to show my project through a paper.

I will be finishing my degree the next year, and I hope to improve my knowledge so I’m thinking in take a specialization in my university but I’m not sure which choose because depending on the line of study is the content of the specialization. In 2 years after I finish the specialization, I am going to start a business about programming because I have more than 20 years of experience in this area, also I will contract more people that have skills in another programming languages, this will be helpful to grow own business. Another area that I like to work is the electronic and this I will work in my grade project, in a IoT development that monitor the rivers level and generate an alert when it passes the limit, this is very helpful to the persons that live nearby the rivers and don’thave resources to be notified when it occurs, this project would be a great opportunity to be offered to the government because it’s possible to get a lot of amount of data to be processed and analyzed to take better decisions in a future and help to adopt the changes of the climate and helping to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

Carlos Hernán Bermudez Betancurt - Step 4

After study a specialization I will have completed one of the most important goals, finish all studies, also I will have traveled to other countries such New Zealand, China (with Hong Kong) and Japan by the time I turn 50 years old because I need to enjoy the life when I’m young (relatively because I’m 41 years old), professionally by the end of one decade I will have finished a PhD because I love the investigation and I want to “learn to share”, is the most rewarding thing that we can do, even I’m thinking about learn, I’ve heard that the most effective way to learn is teaching, I know that I’m not young but I’ve all the enthusiasm to be here learning and making things to help out community and I hope do it a long time.

María Victoria Cardona Rivillas - Step 2:

My name is María Victoria Cardona, I am from Bogotá. I am a retired social sciences teacher, I worked for 25 years in elementary and secondary school and was the principal of a school in Dosquebradas, I retired due to health reasons. I have two children, my daughter is 30 years old and is an English teacher, my son is 21 years old and is studying psychology. They have been my motivation to join the music program at UNAD, looking for a new life project. I have played music for a few years before I started this career; 10 years ago I started to learn to play guitar and joined the Andean music group “Ayni” in Pereira city, also I have sung in different ensembles and events since I was a child.

María Victoria Cardona Rivillas - Step 3:

This year I will have surgery to replace both hips, so I hope to have an excellent recovery that will allow me to continue doing what I love the most, traveling and playing music, for the next five years. I will travel to Cuba, I am very excited about the idea of getting to know the island's culture up close, going to the Buenavista social club, singing and dancing on the malecones of La Habana, walking its mythical streets, tasting its gastronomy and the exquisite varieties of rum and tobacco, maybe I will learn to play the Cuban “tres”, it is a typical instrument of the country, it has 6 strings grouped in pairs and has a beautiful sound that stars in the melodies of the son and other genres of the island. What especially attracts me to Cuban culture because of its devotion to music, in almost every family there is at least one musician, they gather in any corner to hang out and enjoy it.

I will also visit some relatives living in Ecuador and will take the opportunity to get to know that country better, visit its mountains and beaches, learn more about the Ecuadorian culture and its folkloric music. I really want to visit a place that is called Peguche, in the Otavalo province, there´s the capital of the Kichwa culture and every year, just in the summer solstice, there is a party known as Wawa Inty Raymi, which means the sun is rising. Many people from different parts of Ecuador and from all over the world come on those dates to celebrate the festival and dance around the quenas, zampoñas, pututus, charangos, guitars and bandolines, all traditional instruments of Ecuador.

María Victoria Cardona Rivillas - Step 4:

In 10 years I see myself as a music teacher, composer, arranger, and producer. I will have opened a studio where I can produce the work of musicians, young in spirit like me (no matter how old they are, it's something I want to rescue), leaving out the commercial pretensions that sacrifice art and free expression, a big problem of the music industry today.

I will have traveled to 20 countries around the world by next 10 years, among them I will go to Argentina, where I will fulfill one of my biggest dreams, which is to visit the Iguazu Falls, the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. I also want to tour Europe, on my list are the Octoberfest in Germany, the city of Krakow in Poland, the Tuscan region in Italy and Türkiye, especially visiting Istanbul and touring the Cappadocia region in a hot air balloon.

I will have created my orchestra of Latin American rhythms by the next 10 years, as a result of my trips and learning in this new stage of my life, a successful ensemble under my direction and a whole generation of new folklorist musicians that I will have formed along the way.
