- For four years, I was selected and renamed group delegate. - During these years, I had to attend all the boards of directors, representing all my students and so the information I received had to transmit it to the rest of my classmates. - Being a delegate helped me to be involved with the university and also to be able to reach agreements between teachers and students to reach a yes from both sides. -It was a responsibility that demanded a lot since I had to invest hours of my time in attending the meetings. -During covid it was a complicated process since I had to pass on all the students' concerns to the faculty and help to solve them so that all my classmates could have a good continuation in the course, even if they were in confinement.
