I just asked my mother one day, "Why do all these women love me so much?" (Laughter) She just answered, "They are contributing to pay for your education hoping that you will be successful and one day come back and help improve the quality of life of the community." I hope now that I was able to make my community proud through this work, and I hope I was able to prove you the power of community, and to show you that architecture can be inspiring for communities to shape their own future.
Un día le pregunté a mi madre: "¿Por qué todas estas mujeres me aman tanto?" (Risas) Ella solo respondió: "Están contribuyendo a pagar tu educación con la esperanza de que tengas éxito y un día regreses y ayudes a mejorar la calidad de vida de la comunidad". Ahora espero que mi comunidad esté orgullosa gracias a este trabajo.
