We received letters from students at our school in Santa Rosa. They wrote to OCIMA and to the Dominican Sisters who run OCIMA’s program there. The pdf’s are in the girls’ own handwriting and we’ve provided a rough translation of what they wrote.

Dear Sisters of the Dominican Cenacle,
I am writing to you in order to request a scholarship that will allow me to conclude with the Fifth Baccalaureate in Sciences and Letters with a focus on Biological Sciences. My name is Aleyda Noemí Martínez López, I am 18 years old and I am currently studying at the CENSE.
Since I began my studies in the Baccalaureate in Sciences and Letters with a focus on Biological Sciences I have developed a deep passion for science and its impact on the world, since I have maintained an average of 80.8 and above in my subjects, and I am a person with low economic resources, I find myself in the need to apply for a scholarship to be able to finish my studies and thus meet my academic and professional goals. I thank you in advance for your attention and consideration of my application, I hope to be able to count on your support to be able to fulfill my dream of graduating.
Kind Regards,
Aleyda Noemí Martínez López
