OUR SCHOLARSHIPS GIRLS

Since she was a child, she has lived the legal world and now, after finishing her degree, she is competing to become a Public Prosecutor. In Spain there is a need for valuable women in relevant positions: she would be our second applicant and the first one did it successfully. Good luck because your sacrifice is worth it!

My name is Lourdes Gaite Piña, and I received the AMUM scholarship in 2019, to start my university studies in Law in Malaga in September 2019.

First of all, I would like to thank AMUM for choosing me as one of the scholarship recipients of my class, it was a real honor and the first push to start my university preparation.

I have always known that I was going to study something related to justice, my father being a lawyer is probably to blame for that. Since I was a little girl I have been very close to the judicial field and it has always fascinated me, so I had a clear idea of my path and I was not disappointed.

During my studies I knew that I had not made a mistake and that this was what I wanted to do and what I wanted to do for a living. It is true that not all the subjects were equally interesting, and not all areas of Law attracted me equally; but perhaps that is why, because of the enormous range of possibilities and opportunities that exist when studying this degree, I liked what I was doing so much. After four intense years of hard work and study, marked by the COVID, I graduated in July 2023 in Law in Malaga with one of the best records in my class.

From here, after having taken advantage of my last summer in ‘freedom’, I decided to embark on the hard road of the competitive examination. Currently, and since October 2023, I have been living in Granada, where I am preparing myself to achieve my greatest ambition in life: to become a prosecutor. It has not been easy, I have had to change and adapt completely to a new lifestyle, marked by a strong study routine and a lot of perseverance in what I do; I am focused almost one hundred percent on the competition.

I still have a long way to go and several more years of sacrifice, but as my trainers always tell me, this competition is a marathon, and it is won by those who do not give up and never give up. I am sure that with perseverance and discipline we can get as far as we want to go and I am working on it.

Perhaps that is why, because of the enormous range of possibilities and opportunities that exist when studying this field.
