1. Cuban team (pre-selection) for the Chemistry Olympiads: (Awards). (Done)
While in Cuba, back in high school, I had participated three times in the National Chemistry Olympiad. I did so after having been selected each year from the gold medal winners of my province (similar to a State in the US).

I learned discipline and structure as well as to not complain, but focusing on getting the job
