One of the greatest lessons that this experience has taught me is the importance of taking advantage of the opportunities we have as Cornell students. It is so inspiring to see Los Mujeres de Totogalpa succeed at designing and building solar cookers in Nicaragua- - even to the point of winning "First Prize in the Business category for the 2009 ERA prize. " Seeing Seeing their success encourages me to get the most out of my Cornell education so that I'm able to use my engineering skills for the greater good--, whether that means continuing work with the solar cookers or something else, I'm excited to continue growing as an engineer for a sustainable world.
