Comentario:

Me gusta mucho mi trabajo de servicio a la patojada de la UVG y espero dejar alguna huella como la dejaron en mí mis grandes tutores y maestros el  ingeniero Miguel Angel Canga y el Dr. Sergio Aragón quines me dejaron no solo un legado de conocimientos sino de formación humana muy especial.

La formación que recibí en la UVG me preparó muy fuertemente en el área de las ciencias básicas y me dio un nivel con el cual logré superar fácilmente las demandas de la maestría en U.S.A.

La formación de un pensamiento analítico y crítico basado en el método científico me ha dado destrezas valiosas para todas las áreas de mi vida. Eso se lo debe a la UVG.
