About

Mariza lives in the village of Chicxulub Pueblo, Yucatån, Mexico with her mother, father and baby brother Ian. Her father don Alex is the sole support of their family although her mother doña Veronica is a dedicated volunteer leader in Proyecto Itzaes providing educational opportunities for the community. Mariza loves science and want to be a pediatrician. The Canto Ku family believes strongly in the value of education to escape poverty but the cost of transportation and school supplies like books, paper, and uniforms are beyond the means of her father's salary. Mariza works very hard in school and has excellent grades and she tutors other students at Proyecto Itzaes several times a week. She is committed to staying in school but needs help.

Hi Mariza,

Was so impressed that you're passionate about physical science AND poetry. The world needs more people who relish the technical as well as the creative. Sincerely wish you the best in life!

My name is Mariza Andrea Canto Ku. I am in my second year of middle school. I live in Chicxulub Pueblo, a small town outside of Merida in Yucatan, Mexico. My goal is to be a doctor, specifically a pediatrician. I study hard and have very high grades.
For fun I like reading almost every type of book, except for horror and sorcery books. My favorite sport is basketball. For fun, I like to read books, read English, and learn computation.
This year I have been volunteering in Proyecto Itzaes three times a week. I lead various crafts and art activities. I also read aloud various stories and books to the children. This is my fourth year working in the Proyecto Itzaes program.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.
