I have many dreams. I want to: finish my degree, help people with obesity and nutrition challenges, be a high-performance coach, compete in fitness competitions, and start my own gym.
Hello, my name is Elena. I am 22 years old. I like to exercise, sing, dance, and paint.
They kidnapped me when I was 17 years old. For 2 months they exploited me sexually. They completely destroyed me. They broke my dreams and trampled my dignity. I never thought I would be rescued. I arrived at Fundación Camino a Casa, a temporary shelter, where they helped me in many areas.
Over time, God helped me heal many wounds that I had. I dreamed again, and I finished high school at the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
I then transitioned to the Reintegra program. I entered the university to continue with my studies with a degree in Sports and Health Sciences. I have many dreams. I want to: finish my degree, help people with obesity and nutrition challenges, be a high-performance coach in different sports, compete in fitness competitions, and start my own gym. In addition, I would like to study abroad in Spain to broaden my horizons and the vision for my career. For future academic endeavors, I would like to obtain a graduate degree in nutrition.
Recently, I decided to take a break from studying to spend time building my own family. I hope that one day I can continue my studies. I still think of Reintegra as my family and often participate in Reintegra events and receive counseling from Reintegra’s staff.
