Agustina is passionate about dancing and learning new languages. She attended UWC Adriatic, a school that works for peace and a sustainable future, in which she learnt from the little differences of everyday life and how cultural background is not a determining factor on who we are but people from different places can be more similar than what one may think. In the following year she hopes to keep learning from the little things by being involved in the community and she also hopes this experience will give her the time to understand what she wants for her future.
