María Gabriela*, 11, Ecuador

My name is María Gabriela*. I am from Venezuela and I live in Ecuador. 

My dream is to be a veterinarian…

Because I like to take care of animals. 

I don't like little animals to suffer. 

I want to heal them when I find them on the street injured.

Thanks to the Education Cannot Wait programme, I know that I will achieve my dream. 

I invite all world leaders to continue their support.
