As a child, I discovered that creativity is the key to cross from dreams to reality.  在孩童时期，我发现让梦想照进现实的关键在于创造力。

I learned this from my grandmother, Dr. Ruth Tichauer, a Jewish refugee that settled in the heart of the Andes. 我是从我的外祖母，Ruth Tichauer博士那里学到的，她是居住在安第斯山脉深处的一位犹太难民。

That is how I grew up: encouraged to see beyond any limitation. 在我成长的一路上，外祖母总是鼓励我超越自己的极限。

So part of my education included helping her in remote, indigenous communities. 我的一部分教育来自于在遥远的当地部落帮她做事的经历。

I cherish those memories, because they helped me to understand life outside the city,  我非常珍惜这些经历，因为它们帮我了解了城市以外的生活，

a life with a lot of possibilities, without barriers, as language or culture. 那种生活有无限可能，没有语言或文化的障碍。

During those trips, my grandmother used to recite a Kipling poem: "Something hidden. Go and find it.  在那些旅途当中，外祖母曾经背过吉普林的一首诗：“出发吧，去寻觅隐藏的宝藏。

Go and look behind the Mountains. Something lost behind the mountains. Lost and waiting for you. Go!" 去山川背后寻找。那些宝藏遗失在山川背后，正在等待你的发掘。出发吧！”
