“The life principles that guide me are ethics and professional rigor, where I see their exercise as a mission and not a career. Another very important principle is that of loyalty and consistency that rhymes what is thought with what is said and with what is done. Both in the practice of education and in politics, which I have always understood as the concentrated expression of economics,” he affirms.
He always carries his Caribbean region and more specifically his department of La Guajira in his heart. “Before I was Colombian, I felt hormonally Caribbean, as the Nobel Prize in Literature used to say Jose Saramago. Being born in a village (Monguí) in Riohacha meant for me that as a child I entered the competition with a disadvantage, but at the same time it meant a challenge that helped to develop my spirit of improvement”.
“I escaped to poverty trap from my parents thanks to college and I became a professional thanks to the access I had to a public university“, he adds.
“Having said the above, I would like to add that being a Caribbean and a Guajiro at the same time meant a great commitment to me: to fight tirelessly to try equalize the pitch, that the new generations start from the same starting point, that no one is left behind, to close the huge and annoying social differences between them,” concludes Acosta.
