Today is the second (and final) day of this project management for graduate (doctoral) students, and I wanted to comment on a question that I was asked yesterday, during Day 1.
An attendee told me that it was clear that I love what I do and that I am very passionate about it.

I mentioned several sources of inspiration:
1) First and foremost, my own mother. Dr. Obdulia Vega-Lopez (*NOT* MRS), who undertook her PhD against all odds, moved to Madrid all by herself to study at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid after having raised 5 kids.

2) My students. Throughout my career, my students at every institution I have taught (ITESM, ITAM, CIDE, @UBC, @IHEAL_CREDA, @FlacsoMx) have inspired me. So many have overcome such difficult circumstances to get where they are. I am so proud of them.
3) My thesis students. I feel so incredibly honoured to have contributed to the development of such brilliant minds, and to continue to do so. My thesis students are incredibly hard-working, innovative and generous. I see and appreciate their effort and their commitment, loyalty.
4) My graduated students. So many of my thesis students faced such hardship to complete their programs, and I am proud of what they accomplished, and grateful for the opportunity to be there for them.
5) Obviously, Vincent and Lin Ostrom, role models, amazing humands, & scholars
