Dear Readers April 23 marks the World Day of the Spanish Language in honor of writer Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, who was noted for his contribution to Spanish with his great work "The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha, a novel published in 1605 , marking it the history of language to create a story which highlighted strengths, weaknesses and aspirations of human life, the story that Miguel de Cervantes was preparing a new version of "Don Quijote," but his death in (23 of April 1616) prevented this noble purpose.

Our language was born in Castilla (Spain) to the ninth century AD C., but it took several centuries to consolidate itself as language, today we have approximately 450 million Spanish speakers worldwide and is one of the most important and recognized. The Spanish came to Europe with Christopher Columbus, but will only be consolidated with the presence of the settlers, who managed the Indians to learn the language. Importantly, despite the changes and the passing years, still retain some indigenous languages ​of native cultures of our country.

In our country, through Decree 707 of 1938, was institutionalized on Language and later in 1963, the Colombian government enacted into law the decree in honor and recognition to our language.

It is important to highlight the responsibility we have to care for and strengthen our language, the new technologies and their widespread use has been blazing an Orthodox conversion, the proof is the abbreviations, the little care for spelling, syntax and wording, situation frequently evident in social networks, which are

creating havoc in the proper handling of the language, we must ask ourselves, What would Mr Miguel de Cervantes says, if he saw the communication systems and the way language is applied in world? It is possible he may have begun campaigns to strengthen the language and the proper use of it through virtual mediations.

Nowadays there are several institutions with the UNAD, fighting to preserve and maintain the Spanish language, for this reason, from 25 to 29 April, the South Zone held "Virtual Language Week"with the aim of promoting good practice to acknowledge its history and importance worldwide as part of our identity.

Social Networks and Knowledge By: Liliana Oviedo ECSAH Tutor - CEAD IbaguĂŠ The knowledge dinamyc in a social net

Social Networks are becoming increasingly important in today's society, reflecting the need for individuals to express themselves and be recognized, Aristotle said it well: "Man is a social being by nature" to meet their requirements for physical and spiritual need to live in society . Man is a rational creature, individual, not selfs u ff i c i e n t a n d r e q u i r e s t h e protection of others of its kind, it is communities. But what is a Social Network? Could it be described as a form of social interaction, which produces a dynamic exchange between individuals, groups and institutions who share tastes and preferences with each other, achieving a sense of belonging and develop a fabric that seeks the welfare of the community?

These social networks are built based on what each member brings into it. Intervene in a social group begins to find others who share interests, concerns and needs and although it happened more than that, the idea is to break the isolation, which usually manifests itself in seclusion that is one of the difficulties of interaction some people afflicts.

followers. Social networking is a dynamic between people, groups and institutions in different contexts, which usually are very complex.

In consonance with BeltrĂĄn and Castillo (2004:1) a knowledge network is defined "as a community of people who, in a formal or informal, occasionally, part time or on a dedicated, working with a common interest and they base their actions on the construction, development and mutual sharing of knowledge " According to Casas (2001:21) these networks "involving both the formation of professional and training networks, as broadcast networks and transmission of knowledge or innovations, which would give rise to the formation of regional knowledge spaces" Knowledge communities are social networks, which promote the production of knowledge through the collective participation of their users.

Participation in these communities can bring into play a range of skills and abilities: the ability to problemsolving, communication, collaboration, spirit and creative expression, access information, develop conceptual structures, making transfer knowledge or learning about the subject. Social networks allow the transmission of knowledge among their members, integrating in a global community of common interests to achieve their goals.

There are themed social networks aimed at specific audiences, allowing, thanks to the mode of participation and all the tools they have, to form real communities of knowledge. The ability to know and choose what you want grasp of that interaction is what makes social Knowledge networks, as a particular n e t w o r k s h a v e m a n y m o r e kind of social networks, identifies

elements as part of a set that ranges from the words, concepts and individuals, until the bonds that represent the relationships and links between them, with the common denominator of knowledge. These networks are systems or structures of heterogeneous actors that are based on information and knowledge flows and the generation of new knowledge to solve specific problems. They are complex entities that cross organizational, sectoral, cultural or territorial boundaries linking different actors in institutional settings.

So that social networks can help to strengthen the knowledge management processes, enhancing the educational channels, supporting the work that can be developed from the internet and helping to enhance knowledge management, improve internal communication and organizations, capitalize on informal knowledge and best practices at all levels.

Ranch el chaco on meseta Tolima: an opportunity for academic processes of knowledge and technology and transfer.

By: Diego A. Marin Idarraga Research Zonal Leader

The infrastructure of Ranch El Chaco consists of: mechanical workshop, milking area, milk tanks, manure (manure tank) used as fertilizer. The calf is the one who eases the cow for milking, milking times are in the morning at 6:00 am and in the afternoon at 2:00 pm, the farm is SELF-SUSTAINING. Livestock breeds that commonly exist in this area are: Sardinian (with black freckles and Dalmatian), Indian livestock, Holstein-Friesian (in the picture) is one of the most important dairy breeds in Europe and the U.S. Although this milk is less substantial than other breeds, it is the one that produce most volume per animal.

Farmers milk the cows every 12 hours, almost always with a milking machine. A glass tube that takes milk straight from the udder to a

warehouse preserving its taste and cleanliness. A cow that produces 6,100 liters of milk per year amortizes production costs, but a good specimen can produce 50% more.

The concept and formulation of the current breeds began in the United Kingdom, northern Europe and the Channel Islands during the midnineteenth century, and most modern breeds were created in the second half of this century. However, there was already livestock with similar characteristics in these areas even before the breed's concept became dominant. At present it accounts 274 important breeds, many other varieties have not reached the breed status. The races differ also in color. The Holstein is black and white, although some

animals may be red and white, in this farm there are also native cattle, the breeds differ also in the milk yield volume and its composition.

The Holstein-Friesians produce the largest amount, 7,890 kg on average, the advantage of these crosses between Holstein and native breed is the good milk production acquired and thanks to it the livestock conditioning to the equatorial zone, which is where we are located. About the milking system, the calf comes to milking machines with the cow to ease a little the milk to come out, which goes to a storage tank in a room next to it, These calves are cared as future generations from descendants of good milk production.

MILKING PLANT DESIGN: Here comes the animal to a cubicle where is mechanically milked, the milk is transported by pipeline to the storage area where it remains at a suitable temperature for its subsequent distribution. There are 2 milking per day, each cow is producing considerably, in average 14-16 liters in the morning and 4-6 liters in the afternoon, the animal's udder is washed with iodine-based products. After milking the area is washed with hot water, hypochlorite and caustic soda. Farmers milk the cows every 12 hours, almost always with a milking machine. A glass pipe carries the milk directly from the udder to a warehouse, preserving its taste and cleanliness.

wash after the milk extraction, to avoid pollution the pipes that are inserted directly from the udder are washed, these pipes were previously disinfected with iodine and hypochlorite for cleaning purposes.

c) SAFETY OPERATOR: Operator safety is good, nothing was known about this kind of problems, if there is any, it will be considered to be in the best condition to resume with the appropriate seriousness and responsibility.

Finally, Ranch El Chaco has excellent management conditions, with the most sophisticated technology in Latin America, Dr. Alfonso Mejia with his effort and dedication, has worked hard to create productivity habits and appropriate efficiency, as mentioned Dr. Johnson: "The tiny habit chains are generally too small to be felt until they become too strong to be broken."

The relevance of an organization.

Conventional wisdom says that the important thing is not to arrive but maintained, as to remain in force and the recognition of leadership in any activity of life is one of the biggest challenges facing all the people who run or exercise a leader in an organization or community.

As expressed by Larry A. Downs (Vice-Chairman of Nelson Group) "Success breeds success" one of the first components of development in any organization is the confidence factor, but even in organizations that do their best for themselves, many people are not willing to trust because past experiences in their lives. In many organizations people are suspicious of stigma and scars from previous experiences where they were poorly informed and misdirected repeatedly.

A study made at Simon Fraser University in the United States determined that the players of the triumphant sports teams are more likely to trust their coach and they believe this knows what they need to win, plus of being interested in them of heart; he does what he promises. All this happens regardless of the confidence that they can get their o w n t e a m m a t e s .

In conclusion we must pause a moment to consider what the real level of confidence in our organization family, education, employment or community and foster the growth and development needs of each of the members of the community, allowing us to maintain recognition of our leadership.

“ _ Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts given to the men by the heavens; with it the treasures of the earth and beneath the sea can’ t be equated; for freedom and also for honor we can and should risk your life, and on the contrary, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall men. " Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Also we celebrated on this date, the World Book Day, issued by UNESCO in 1995, a celebration held in order to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright because it is through sales of books that authors can concentrate on creating them, and no such sales royalties form, to go into the hands of unscrupulous pirates, all you do is hurt and slow down a little more the development of our beloved country. On the other hand, Spanish or Castilian is one of the six official UN languages ​and, after Mandarin, Chinese is the language most spoken in the world by the number of people who are native s p e a k e r s ( S o u r c e : h t t p : / / informa2ensegun2.blogspot.com /).

It Is Not Any More Than Peace It was already by night when suddenly the fear invaded his emotions. It jumped of his bed and was thrown to the street seeking to obtain the calmness, it had the white tez and faded hair, clear eyes and tenderness in the look; yes, it was so beautiful that up to the moon it was envying it.

In spite of his 33 years, still he had the soul of a child and the heart of a giant; but his smile was fading up on having seen that his dreams were leaving him.

He was feeling that the life was running very rapidly and was not managing to obtain what had dreamed. His thoughts were digressing on having penetrated in the night. It sat down to

The dawn was tacking in the horizon with his beautiful colors, his eyes were meditating fixedly, like trying to eternize that moment in his memory. Finally he was listening to the voice of his interior that he was speaking to him saying, the peace is here in you, searches in your interior, there you will find her, you do not have to travel distant view, do not have to look for her in other persons, only remain a moment silently and it will come to you. Undress those feelings that damage you, do not suffer any more, liberate you of the ties of the soul and permit again to dream, do not be bad to dream if you fight and make these dreams real.

A cold invaded him in his body and thought that all that was not sensible, that was a product of his imagination unbalance; but then he said loudly, that it is sane in this world of chaos where the emotion does not have any meaning, where nothing is strange for us! I prefer this feeling!

Yes! We live much occupied to feel, to worry for other one, he began to walk returning in his trodden ones, he entered to his house, already the morning was coming and he felt starting living again. He thought that he would never return to see the equal night that would not go to bed before contemplating the majestic hills

The Peruvian is the third South American winner of the prestigious Nobel Prize on Literature, since it was granted to the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez in 1982 and to the Mexican Octavio Paz in 1990.

The reading and writing processes to be vitalized through virtual spaces

By Henry Carvajal ECE Tutor Academic Leader CEAD Pitalito

According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics, the Colombians only read two books per year. This average talks about the low percentage of people in the country, contrasted with the number of books read by people in other countries where the average is five books per year. Like reading, writing has become one of the least performed not only by the public in general but also by scholars of the country. Considering these low percentages in reading as writing in Colombia, it is necessary to say that seeking strategies as well as a reflection on these two processes (read & write) are urgent.

Let us first consider a strategy for reading and writing called "Our story" which was carried out within the framework of the celebration of the Virtual Language Week held between April 25th and April 30th in the Zone. The strategy consisted on the digital and collective creation of a story among the directives, the administrative, teachers and students belonging to UNAD community. For the construction of the story the summoned should read what others had written and write between one and five lines following the thread of the story.

at the beginning. Some added lines full of suspense, romance, horror and tragedy to the story; others wrote some lines that were beyond the script written by the other participants. In total there were forty eight participants from all over Colombia.

Although the turnout was quite significant, that is to say, forty-eight people in three days, it is necessary to comment on the process of reading and writing that took place.

The story was seen by more than a thousand people, all of them had been invited to write at least a line to follow the sequence of the story, but only forty-eight people participated.

Regarding to the above results, the question of the meaning of the number of participants and which implies the process of reading and writing arises. A simple answer would be that the summoned did not have time to write or perhaps that they do not like writing; however, it is necessary to say the response to this situation is a little deeper.

According to Estanislao Zuleta in his book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tribute to the difficultyâ&#x20AC;?, the reading and writing are quite complex processes that require a high degree of organization of thought, produces self-analysis, selfreflection and self-contradiction which can be generated in pathologies such as headaches and insomnia among others, that is to say, these two processes are constant challenges for the mind and body. Because of the implications involved in these processes,

someone could argue that people consciously or unconsciously have excuses to read or not, and / or write or not.

One of the most common excuses for some individuals is related to the technology. They argue that either they are so mired in filling reports on computers or that they do not have computer skills and therefore they don't like to write. At a glance, you could infer from this answer that technology would have something to do with not wanting to write; a deeper look, however can easily disprove it.

Like pens, computers are only tools that allow embodying what the mind has. So, what it is essential to write is not the tool but the inspiration you have, the desire to organize ideas or put in public what you think of something.

In conclusion, if the statistics relating to the reading and writing of our country want to be changed, it is essential to develop strategies that can inspire such processes (one of them, the collective writing of short stories in web spaces). In addition, to find this inspiration it is made indispensable the use of computing and communication technologies since they make part of the new tendencies of the daily life and of people.

Tips for development of competences in English through virtual communities, chats and forums By: Henry Carvajal Tutor ECE Academic Leader CEAD Pitalito One of the great opportunities presented to us by the web 2.0 to learn a foreign language are virtual communities, chats or forums.

Virtual and cultural event articulation through virtual language week By: Henry Carvajal ECE Tutor Academic Leader CĂ&#x2030;AD Pitalito

Without a doubt, the articulation of new technologies of information and the communication with cultural celebrations of our country provide a new space so that the latter are maintained and revitalized.

The Open and Distance National University (UNAD) South Zone through its School of Education, has presented an articulation between the technological and cultural events, through the activity carried out on the occasion of the cultural celebration of The Spanish Language Day. The socalled activity "Virtual Language Week ', was represented in the creation of an interactive website which not only visitors could read or watch, if not that they could participate in certain activities relating to cultural event."

Videos of interviews with writers belonging to three departments, Tolima, Huila and CaquetĂĄ, as well as of some story tellers allowed to publicize the most representative of the letters of each of the departments.

L inking D istances Publication of the South Zone UNAD

May 0f 2011

The submission of an electronic questionnaire related to themes of Spanish Language Day allowed visitors to the page to participate and get an immediate response to their answers. The competition of digital posters allowed not only that the students have expressed their creativity but that also allowed visitors to the page to vote electronically by the poster that seemed most appropriate.

The creation of the collective story on a web page was an experience that allowed more than a thousand visitors not only to read what others had written but to write some lines to continue the story.

The above activities, i.e., interviews, electronic questionnaires, digital posters, as well as to the creation of the story through a wiki space are a sample of how the technologies o f c o m p u t i n g a n d communication can become a great ally in cultural celebrations. They not only allow the people to be passive actors but they involve them and invite them to interact.

Thus, we can say that the articulation of the technology and cultural celebrations should be a constant challenge for all those who are immersed in the educational process, both traditional and online. It is time to begin that process of revitalization and deepening of our cultural celebrations using new trends or formats in which the education and the daily life of our people happens.

Nearest virtual meetings through Web 3.0 The way leading to virtual reality By: John Fredy Mora Montes Zonal Leader VIMMEP

Through virtual training scenarios in distance education has sought different ways to ensure the proper support and monitoring the academic activities in an online course such as: chat, wiki or internal mail, which at the time have been used and have been marked under the characteristic of being flat and not generating the proper interaction is required to these accompany processes. This is where the Web through its constant changes allows the possibility of finding alternatives or options to choose the best tool to achieve that academic objective.

H o w e v e r, c r i t e r i a s u c h a s performance, scalability, stability, services and security will always be the cornerstones to establish the best tool of tutorial accompanying. The National Open University and Distance (UNAD) has a virtual platform development conference that incorporate audio and video with the ability to allow entry of up to one hundred (100) users simultaneously. But it is important to have other alternatives that offer

similar services but more importantly that the same offered security. Among them MS NetMeeting, Microsoft program, which allows multiple video chat one on one, but this requires that all computers have installed the application and the respective licensing for use.

Another possibility is BoostCam, an excellent online service that lets you create a multi-videoconference platform in a simple, effective, also simple and easy to use, and free environment. Also you c a n f i n d : v a w k r, netmeeting24.tv, ubigg.com, palbee.com, ekko.tv therefore each one offers security and service guarantees when making video calls for academic or personal purposes. But is Videoconferencing the only way to do tutorial accompanying in virtual environments? It isn't the only one but it is one of the best strategies to approach and

allow students to share a space where discussion and active participation will become the best sources of collective knowledge.

You do not forget that all these services have extended through the web 2.0 where the incorporation of three-dimensional scenarios are gaining momentum as another space for interaction and academic dynamism. This is the case of applications such as Second Life that through the construction of a character or avatar a person can interact with others in 3D space and to develop out conversations and even virtual conferencing. Second Life is a virtual environment where any individual, student, businessman or neophyte can interact to manufacture his or her own character or avatar. Everything that exists in Second Life is something that residents or developers designed or manufactured. Different interactions are carried out in this Second Life and may be subject to various sociological studies. The Connectivism era is taking us to share knowledge society, where everyone learns from everyone, the foundation that was built through Web 2.0.

To experiment, explore and discern technical aspects and results will be the best way to choose the best virtual support tool for the academic and external community.

Instant Messaging, another reason to be more connected...

Our private space is being invaded or we are making the most of our free time?

By: Ing. John Fredy Montes Mora Zonal Leader Vimmep Thirty (30) years ago there could not measure the extent that the Network would have to pass certain areas which were considering as private or unique Personal spaces such as the simple activity of reading, playing sports and even ideal time for basic activities. Today, these spaces are invaded by tones, ringtones, vibration or buzzing that end the current tranquility which as consequence lead the connection in the cyberspace. Why? because the hardware has evolved considerably as well as the applications or information systems that are constantly changing, allowing more accessible and easier to transport in different home and personal electronic devices.

A practical example is the cellphonesMartin Cooper who is considered the father of mobile telephony; he never imagined that his invention will become the work primary tool and which many of us become dependent because of different applications that bring new models that make easier common and repetitive tasks. But why the personal area has been invaded? because communications on these devices allow that what was done through a PC connected to the Internet using instant messaging programs such as Windows Live Messenger (Microsoft), Google Talk (Google), Yahoo Messenger (Yahoo) and others can be incorporated as portable applications in a Blackberry

or Cellphone counting on availability of these services through a data plan - Internet - and therefore the user will always stay connected to the network.

The current society is polluted and irradiated by electromagnetic waves where all home corners or workplace are not exempt, as in an office wireless router can be seen in other places can be find antennas or mobile connection devices which facilitate and make lighter connectivity access allowing the user to remains the possibility of being always immersed in the network. Therefore, it would be interesting to ask the following questions: How many hours you are connected? Does the free time being used to rest or to do more than you

normal daily activities? "Does the family moving to second place by answering a call or responding to a bell by a message from the Blackberry? "Free time is actually free or shared electronically? Are you a human being or a electronically measurable and quantifiable being?

Everything done in a day should always be measured at 1 and 0?

Could the greetings will be sum with a "Hello" or a smiley in a chat? Will new generations have time to have fun without using networked? Do not forget you must have time or moments dedicated to different activities and we must always have the possibility to enjoy many times without being subject to remain network connected.

Strategies in the teaching-learning process in environmental management By: Olga Valbuena Patricia Riveros ECACEN Tutor - CEAD Ibague

In traditional schools, there were rigid postures where the teacher used hierarchical, fully exhibition, and where he was the example to follow and the spotlight with magisterial and centric education and where students had an attitude of obedience, repetition and memorization, constant passivity. But many contemporary educational positions that appear in the nineteenth century, modernize these methodology giving importance to the role of experience, knowledge to guide the making, is the practical as an end and not as means.

To achieve this change, tools should be used in the teaching-learning process to help to build awareness in an autonomous way, not only to facilitate the retention of the concept, but also to be oriented to form new possibilities for acquiring them. Perez in his competency-based training book says: The concept of strategy refers to a set of actions that are designed and put in place in an orderly fashion to achieve a particular purpose. In this way, everything has a meaning given by the general thrust of the strategy. In the field of education, teaching strategies relate to future plans of action that triggers the teacher systematically to achieve certain objectives of student learning.(PĂŠrez, 1995, p.196) Teaching strategies are a way of teaching and a way of learning that encourages students to the construction of knowledge, and scientific and technological changes that have occurred in recent times create the need to implement more dynamic ways of

teaching, where recognize the different learning styles of young people today.

In subjects such as environmental management is necessary to reinforce concepts that are studied in order to take a clear reflection on environmental issues and potential or advantages and disadvantages that arise in our daily lives. Therefore, it was proposed to develop some issues, an alternative teaching that contributes to the appropriation of concepts, through the establishment and retention of technical vocabulary. The additional proposal was to conduct a fun story as a tool, with specific terms of the course, changing the traditional way of imparting that knowledge and in order to obtain better results by diversifying the activities in the classroom to create a dynamic environment , increase literacy skills and encouraging creativity in the student, but without stop using the tools proposed both a tutorial module and didactics guide of the course that are essential in the education in the National Open and Distance University.

This teaching strategy was a great motivator for students and which it was obtained the expected results, I discuss one of the stories made, taken from the academic work produced by Jenny Marcela Carvajal Delgado, the story is titled The Planet T "The gossipers tell that many centuries ago, there was a point in the universe called PLANET T. There was Mrs. Living water living with his three sons named Rivers, Seas and Lakes. Their task was to go and feed much of the world. Her work was greatly admired and respected because she was a lady neat and clear. Mr. Air was very playful and he liked to blink a lot,

because in this way he was able to raise thousands of kites into the sky with pure air.

The third neighbor was Mr. Fire whose work was not as indispensable in the PLANET T for this reason he used to sleep. The fourth and last neighbor was the most intelligent, but feared and destructive one called Man. His work was to create.

So the time went and everything on the planet was in peace in PLANET T. One day the fourth inhabitant started doing things unusual. His intelligence and creativity led him to create automobiles, factories and buildings, to create an urban ecosystem, changing the natural ecosystem. His neighbors were proud of him, but did not have in mind that they were going to be affected with those creations.

For example: the health of Mrs. Water l and her three children was no longer the same since they stopped being crystalline and pure and they were taking a dark color and an unpleasant odor, called pollution. All this because the original waste industries and human activity, such that water was the lady could no longer roam the planet as it did before. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Image Link: http://norm37.blogspot.com/2009/11/contaminacionambiental.html

Meaningful experiences: "love the service Conference By: Zoraida Castro Lucia Angel Tutor-CERES ECACEN. HUILA. UNAD LA PLATA

One of the great challenges of modern business is to provide ongoing training to its human resources to improve communication with customers both internal and with external customers, to strengthen and differentiate themselves from competitors, creating living spaces and teamwork helping to provide a service efficiently, effectively and efficiently.

Taking into account that economic activity in the town of La Plata, Huila, relies heavily on commercial activity and services, where customer service becomes a corporate responsibility, the School of Administrative Sciences, Accounting, Economics and Business (ECACEN ) at National Open and Distance University UNAD, CERES Villa de San SebastiĂĄn de La Plata, managed to develop a successful conference, "Love the Service" in the first quarter of 2010, in the Auditorium of the Marilla Educational Institution, in the same town.

For this event a group of local merchants, guardians, alumni and students of the School supported and organized by teams, in areas of logistics, protocol, advertising, among others, where each group was responsible for development of the administrative process, so that they would apply the knowledge acquired in the Business Administration program.

The conference attendees began to arrive, minutes before 7 pm. They registered before entering the auditorium.

It was possible to have the assistance of more than 110 people. Mostly were owners and employees of sponsoring companies, students and university graduates. As 7.30, Dr. Carlos Arturo Orozco, an international speaker, started the event. He developed it in a pleasant, educational environment. Everything was relevant to all the interests of the audience, proving to captivate the attention of the public.

After 9.30 pm, the theme was fully developed and the conference was closed with the approval of the audience. We told them that we were going to give them the certificate of attendance during the same week. This commitment was fulfilled done in a personalized way.

We believe that this activity was successful from every point of view, to achieve project the image of the university and the community from La Plata and the region, thus fulfilling the goals envisaged in the Operational Plan Area and reaffirm the meaning of membership of the educational community for his institution.

On August 22, 1969 in Espinal town, occurred one of the most important and happy events for the history of humanity and especially for the family Hernández Gutiérrez, “I was born” Julio Cesar Hernández Gutiérrez, the sixth and last Miguel Alfonso and Rita Cecilia's child, two peasants natives of Chagualá village from Coello Township in Tolima, two human beings spotless, full of love, tenderness, values, virtues, principles and the most important, agricultural hard workers to meet the responsibility that implies the welfare and livelihood of their children.

All my childhood was spent happily on Chagualá village, among games as cars, land, lleva, Hide and seek, soccer, which I shared with my siblings and neighbor playmates.

Within its possibilities, my parents rewarded us at certain times of year (June, December and birthday) with shoes, clothes and toys, but when we were wrong or rude with them or with others, they punished us not allowing us to go to places we like, or with a slender wand, my mom said that "the more slender the more it hurt and we learned the lesson." I never received from my parent's bad words punishment; they spoke tough to me, but any bad word.

As I have always said and will support until the last day of life that God gives to me, "My parents are my source of pride and inspiration" since their relationship was of

unconditional love, respect, unity and loyalty. But like all couples, there are quarrels or inconvenient times but I never heard or saw them discussing tough or saying bad words, even less my dad or mom trying to physically attack each other. My school life began when I was 7 years old, I enrolled to do first grade at the village school, it was a very nice epoch because when I had break I could go home and take my break there, as I previously said, my parents come from a very traditional family framed in a culture of values, respect, honesty, principles and unique strengths. All these were the foundations for a good performance in my primary school since I did not lose any course level. I always stand out for being a responsible person in my tasks, respectful, cooperative and appreciated by teachers.

In 1981, my primary school stage ends and I began the high school epoch until 1987, wow! Cool, one of the best times of my life, because it was there where I found my group of best friends, I had known some of them at primary school. Finally, another stage of my life is in 1989 when I start my working life. This stage is because I left school in 1987, I went to college and I could not join to study agronomy or animal husbandry, although my dad did not have enough financial resources he motivates me to continue training myself to have opportunities in my life Therefore, I

took the decision to move to Bogotá and start my working life which gave me great achievements and blessings, thanks to the support and everything my family taught me.

But hey, life has given me plenty of good experiences, but most experiences I would say, blessings, it has given me friends, awards, promotions, my college career in the National Open University and Distance-UNAD, where I graduated as Business Manager at the Ibague CEAD in 2010 and the most important, for my life my "wife and daughter.”

Thanks to my work, responsibility, honesty and teamwork learned items and structured largely by the training received at the UNAD, I have achieved job stability, 9, 5, 1, 5 years respectively. For all these reasons I have outlined some short-term goals, I successfully finish with recognition my career, I properly complete the adoption process of my beautiful daughter in order to fully perform my role as father. And in the long term, create my company which will generate economic stability which will ensure a better life quality for my family. Thank God, Thank UNAD.
