Alliance NIYIGENA — Escapó y aprendió

ALLIANCE NIYIGENA

En 1994, la familia de Alliance Niyigena tuvo que recorrer a pie los 8.000 kilómetros que separan Ruanda de República Centroafricana, para huir del genocidio ruandés. Su historia comienza en el avión que les llevaría como refugiados a Noruega, donde comenzó una nueva vida. Está doble nacionalidad y cultura noruego ruandesa le ha permitido conocer las luces y sombras de la sociedad europea.

"Creo que he sufrido muchas microagresiones, pero la peor era la frase: ‘Eres muy inteligente para ser una chica negra’. Significa que nadie como yo puede ser inteligente, que soy muy rara para mi raza. Todos mis esfuerzos, mi trabajo, la pasión por aprender, inmediatamente con esta frase son invalidados", reflexiona en 'Aprendemos juntos' esta investigadora, que habla cinco idiomas.

Con 15 años, Niyigena ganó una beca para continuar sus estudios en Francia y posteriormente en Edimburgo, donde se convirtió en ingeniera mecánica y eléctrica.

Su excelencia académica ha sido reconocida con sucesivas becas como la Saltire Scholar y la beca Schwarzman. Entre 2019 y 2020 trabajó como Jefa del equipo Hyperloop de Elon Musk de la Universidad de Edimburgo, para desarrollar el transporte de mercancías a través tubos de acero al vacío en cápsulas que levitan magnéticamente.

Posteriormente investigó en el el Centro de Microelectrónica de Barcelona, dependiente del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), dedicado al desarrollo de nuevas nanotecnologías como las "baterías de celulosa", que podrían cargarse con fluidos corporales como sangre o sudor.

En los últimos años, su trayectoria profesional ha dado un giro hacia el desarrollo de soluciones de energías renovables e infraestructuras educativas en países emergentes.

TEN STUDY HABITS

TEN STUDY HABITS OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

 

Successful students have good study habits. They apply these habits to all of their classes. Read about each study habit. Work to develop any study habit you do not have.

 

Try not to do too much studying at one time.

If you try to do too much studying at one time, you will tire, and your studying will not be very effective. Space the work you have to do over shorter periods of time. Taking short breaks will restore your mental energy.

 

Plan specific times for studying.

Study time is any time you are doing something related to schoolwork. It can be completing assigned reading, working on a paper or project, or studying for a test. Schedule specific times throughout the week for your study time.

 

Try to study at the same times each day.

Studying at the same times each day establishes a routine that becomes a regular part of your life, just like sleeping and eating. When a scheduled study time comes up during the day, you will be mentally prepared to begin studying.

 

Set specific goals for their study times.

Goals will help you stay focused and monitor your progress. Simply sitting down to study has little value. You must be very clear about what you want to accomplish during your study times.

 

Start studying when planned.

You may delay starting your studying because you don’t like an assignment or think it is too hard. A delay in studying is called “procrastination”. If you procrastinate for any reason, you will find it difficult to get everything done when you need to. You may rush to make up the time you wasted getting started, resulting in careless work and errors.

 

Work on the assignment they find most difficult first.

Your most difficult assignment will require the most effort. Start with your most difficult assignment since this is when you have the most mental energy.

 

Review their notes before beginning an assignment.

Reviewing your notes can help you make sure you are doing an assignment correctly. Also, your notes may include information that will help you complete an assignment.

 

Tell their friends not to call them during their study times.

Two study problems can occur if your friends call you during your study times. First, your work is interrupted. It is not that easy to get back to what you were doing. Second, your friends may talk about things that will distract you from what you need to do. Here’s a simple idea: turn off your cell phone during your study times.

 

Call another student when they have difficulty with an assignment.

This is a case where “two heads may be better than one”.

 

Review their schoolwork over the weekend.

Yes, weekends should be fun time. But there is also time to do some review. This will help you be ready to go on Monday morning when another school week begins.

 

 

These ten study habits can help you throughout your education.

Make sure they are your study habits.

 

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A CAREER

Planning for college should begin once you enter high school. Here are things to do each year as you progress through high school.

 

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Most people spend half or more of their waking hours five days a week at their jobs. While selecting a career can be a difficult process, the following tips can make this process easier for you.

 

1.          Extensive reading about potential careers is vital. You will discover details about careers that you were not aware of. It’s important to collect vital information such as career descriptions, career outlooks, employment statistics, educational requirements, and potential earnings.

 

2.          Interviewing people in the field is an excellent way to learn about the various aspects of a career. Doing this may also provide good networking opportunities. Informational interviews often change a person’s perspective about an occupation. You can find interview candidates by asking friends, teachers, members of an alumni association, and neighbors. You can also contact relevant professional associations and societies and visit appropriate social and professional networking sites online.

 

3.          Internships provide excellent opportunities for acquiring a realistic, clear picture about the daily duties and job satisfaction in a particular occupation. Also, internships provide valuable networking opportunities that may lead to a job. Further, companies often hire interns that perform well. Volunteering also provides many of the advantages of an internship.

 

4.          Find a mentor. Many colleges and employers have a formal mentoring program. Also, formal mentoring organizations are available that match mentors with individuals. It’s a great way to learn about a career, and a mentor can provide valuable networking opportunities. “Mentworking” is a new trend which combines mentoring and networking, and which has shown good results.

 

5.          The possibility for a job being outsourced to foreign countries is an important consideration. Job outsourcing information and forecasts can be collected from sources such as articles on the Internet, magazine articles, college counselors, career counselors, professors, employment agencies, and relevant professional associations. 

 

6.          Look for lists of “hot jobs” on the Internet and in magazines. Do this frequently since these lists keep changing. A “hot job” today may not be “hot” next year or the year after. When evaluating these lists, keep in mind your interests, skills, and job satisfaction requirements.

 

7.          Many community colleges have career centers that provide free individual and group career counseling. Career counselors can provide assistance with the self-evaluation process, career selection process, and the job search process.

 

8.          Take into consideration the number of job opportunities in your area for each career you are considering. This is vital if you intend to stay in your current location.

 

9.          The skills required for a career are an essential factor for an individual’s potential for success in that career. Write a list of the skills needed for a particular field. Place a check next to each skill you possess. The more checks you make, the more likely this field is right for you.

 

10.       Your aptitudes should be a vital factor in your career selection process. A gratifying career is often built upon a match with what you are naturally good at. Natural strengths allow an individual to work with ease and to acquire expertise faster.

 

11.       Explore the advancement opportunities of each potential occupation. Does advancement require additional education? Will additional education and certification provide you with a significant advantage over the competition? Are supervisory and management opportunities available?

 

 

Following the tips provided in this article will help you choose a career that is right for you.
