have decided to put their trust in us. my name is john paris and i work. i think. i'm afraid of getting stuck here like most of those who have finished school yet they stay here. i know lots of people who didn't follow their dreams. when there isn't sense a crystal is not that one of the most densely populated islands in the world it lies in the caribbean off the coast of colombia and is barely larger than a football pitch. despite the overcrowding and poverty a few of its residents try their luck elsewhere but where is determined to live and

study at university. because this is my house i live here with my mother and father i'm one of 10 children and my sister and her husband also live here with us the house is painted yellow and red colors that convey lots of joy emotion and feelings of happiness. we live here even though it's not really big bang it's quite small but made with love . 500 people live on santa cruz than his last day on one hector with no running water no trash collection no doctors or police. to search at the islamists or islands residents are under 18. there is

a school that 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 common. many people here are simply stuck in a rut. they can't imagine a future anywhere else. at least we can now earn a high school diploma at our school. but the only trouble is. no one from here kind of bored to studying on the mainland. to pay his school fees well 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 about it. like that. then it's a job to get as close as possible to their chosen look. at these things little 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's not like the picture i showed me. what did you expect. what you really want. to discount. again. are you scared to. do it again i'm not scared if you are scared

that. you're scared it's not. for me a little music. like 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. and. if i had to choose between our island anywhere else on earth i'd stay here. the 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 things. in a. few weeks later who has a haircut appointment. does 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 without it. most students in colombia come from wealthy families who wouldn't only be the 1st to get into university he also be one of the few poor students the one.

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 too but 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 they're sharing a small room at a gas tank. yesterday during the storm i thought on this my appointment i can't go . but now that it's worked out i really feel blessed i want to keep going i.

think i. first have to say what i can wear to the appointment tomorrow. this year or 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 whoever's 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 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 no i'm too afraid i won't go over there on my

own paul. 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. that here it's wonderful. to see. the school isn't it the people on the streets. that'd be. my only upgrade that was scholarship won'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 they think and then they will know it about me and because it's for. the only 30 dead does not give campus alone it's bigger than the island comes from it's among the best universities in columbia. but last year fewer than $170.00 of its

roughly $10000.00 students were awarded scholarships. first appointment is what the head of the nursing faculty. you want to tell me why you want to study here. i have to tell you about where i come from. on my island there is no regular healthcare 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. i'm going to be worried . but for now she can't do much more than give her a flyer a decision can only be made after who has submitted all of the relevant documents.

and what they're going to many thanks for everything that i also brought you something from the i want to play by the. oh lovely is that typical of the island yes we sell lots of them. then he's off to his 2nd. went 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 use 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 report cards and you extracurricular activities. goes on and then we decide. that.

the fact that grades are so important could prove a problem for when the questions on the school leaving exams are the same nationwide and while fierce the exam preparation at his school on the island isn't very good. i would really like to stay here. with you 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 know i got my pile of

pupils will also make it i mean it would be sad of just one of us dead or a lot of people on the island who want to achieve more and want to look ahead i mean to get in there are many who also make poor decisions due to money problems for the cubans and i was like oh my god this is beyond me. a few months later oh well received a letter informing him that he won't be studying at the university in bed and. the reason his grades weren't good enough. it's a real setback but who was not giving up hope he'll apply to other universities now . you don't want me and i'm on. our. team. africa
