to search the thing is leaving us or islands residents are under 18. there is a school that when a tense but it costs money to go there which many parents can't or don't want to pay that's because most of the island's young people and up working as fishermen or in one of the hotels on the neighboring island. say 6 from 17 pupils you know or a didn't come here one fewer kids are coming. many people here are simply stuck in a rut. they can't imagine a future anywhere else. but at least we can now earn a high school diploma at our school. but the only trouble is. no one from here can afford to study on the mainland.

to pay his school fees gives the island's residents manicures and pedicures. he always has his cell phone handy so his clients can choose a design for their nails from the internet. knowing. morphy like that. then it's well as job to get as close as possible to their chosen look. at these things when i say that it's really bad for me to do pedicures manicures and hair. but at the time when i asked them why they say. that's good for a woman but not for a man. but i'm doing this because i need the money not because i want to be a woman. that i was born this is a mess not like the picture i show you. what did you expect. what do you really
1:20 pm
want. to discount. again. are you scared to. do it again i'm not scared you are scared that. you're scared it's not. for me a little music. a melody and that i'm. sure his. hopes to become a pediatric nurse he's often seen children on the island get ill and there's no one to help them. but to get his nursing qualifications in colombia he'd have to go to university and that means moving to the mainland he's already written to the closest university to request an interview. if i had to choose between our island anywhere else on earth i'd stay here. the
1:21 pm
best thing would be if there were a university here if there were i be really happy. well then i wouldn't have to do with. this is that. a few weeks later has a haircut appointment. not day has granted his request for an interview he also has an appointment to learn how he can apply for a scholarship. i think for me i'm happy i've taken the 1st step. and i know that with god's help i can do it. but i'm a bit scared too after all it's the 1st interview i've had in my life but the most important thing is that i'm happy and i know i can do it you know what i did. most students in colombia come from wealthy families who wouldn't only be the 1st to get
1:22 pm
into university he also be one of the few poor students there all the way. the night before who had plans to set off for the mainland into struck by a powerful storm. that the full. house was one of the largest hit my bedroom is completely gone and parts of the other rooms are 2 it was awful. but undeterred he travels to bet and to the north it's the 1st time he's ever visited the colombian mainland. he's taken his best friend diana along for support there sharing a small room at a gas tank. yesterday during the storm i thought i'll miss my appointment i can't
1:23 pm
go. but now that it's worked out i really feel blessed i want to keep going i. think. first i have to say what i can wear to the appointment tomorrow. this here something else instead we have. to go we. we've been mercy is on my side. although yesterday was very difficult i have to leave that behind me. the material things you can get back but not your life and i have to keep looking forward. how do you it's a city of 1200000 people that's huge compared to who has island which has just 500 residents he's not used to the traffic. no way i'm not going to cross over here. i don't limit you know jackie i want our island there was once
1:24 pm
a woman had wanted to cross the street at a zebra crossing during a visit to the mainland. she got run over by a car there wasn't much left of her you know i'm too afraid i won't go over there on my own for all. there's just 2 hours left to his appointment at the university. to make sure he arrived safely takes a taxi even though it's quite expensive. how do you like about that is it's wonderful. to see. the school isn't it the people in the streets. that it. put it on me over the way i only upgrade the a scholarship don't work out but i'll bet i can't get a single bad grade in school but you can always have a bad day you think and then they will know it's about mean because it's the way.
1:25 pm
the university campus alone is bigger than the island comes from it's among the best universities in colombia. but last year fewer than $170.00 of its roughly $10000.00 students were awarded scholarships. first appointment is with the head of the nursing faculty. you want to tell me why you want to study here i mean. i have to tell you about where i come from. on high island there is no regular health care there is no doctor. no now i understand his interest is rooted in the fact that there is a lack of healthcare on his on and he wants to help and that's something really valuable i'm certain that if he makes it he'll be of help.

but for now she can't do much more than give her a flyer a decision can only be made after whoever has submitted all of the relevant documents. and what they're going to support any thanks for everything they had also brought you something from the island late but there. are lovely is that typical of the island c.d.'s we sell lots of them. then he's off to a 2nd appointment with an employee in the finance department to learn how to apply for a scholarship. we. wouldn't be able to afford his accommodation on the island let alone the 2 mission there but he's saying you know to do their own doing you can apply for the scholarship no matter what region you come from. we mainly focus on your exam results your previous record cards and you extracurricular activities but at the

same power goes on and then we decide. that. the fact that grades are so important could prove a problem for. the questions on the school leaving exams are the same nationwide and welfares the exam preparation at his school on the island isn't very good. i would really like to stay here. but i'd like to take part in the dancing or go to the gym. but also. it would just blow my mind. shark nice one i'd be overcome with joy so. if well stays on the island his future plans would be limited he would expand his nail design business and maybe open

a waxing studio he'd much rather go to university and hopes he won't be the only one from his island to do so. i mean nobody i came in i hope that my fellow pupils will also make it i mean it would be sad of just one of us dead or lots of people on the island who want to achieve more and want to look ahead i mean to get in tell you that a lot of there are many who also make poor decisions due to money problems for the cubans and i was like the mother this is see only. a few months later receives a letter informing him that he won't be studying at the university and. the reason his grades weren't good enough. it's a real setback but who else not giving up hope you'll apply to other universities now.
