Thirteen years ago, I left Mexico to
study a Ph.D. in the U.S. In the meantime, apart from doing that, I
got married, we
moved to Switzerland, and we formed a
beautiful family. I have learned so many things, I have changed in so many ways. In the words of
my advisor, during one of our very early email exchanges, before I went to Purdue:
It isn't so much a leaving as a beginning of something else. When you return, as you will, it will be with a more wordly viewpoint. That is both a loss and a gain.
Now, after all these years, it's time to go home.
