Carlos Ancona Riestra, director of Constructora Proser, called Gaspar on the phone to let him know that he was the winner.
“I asked him: Are you currently working? And he said: ‘Yes sir, I work at Constructora Proser’. It was a surprise because it is the first time that the winner of the Próser Prize, actually works in Proser, there have been other wiiners laboring with us, but they were integrated to the working team after they won the prize “, Ancona said.
Gaspar Alberto Alcocer Gómez stated that when he went to colllege, his goal was to graduate. That ever since he was in elementary school he always wanted to dedicate to the construction of bridges and roads.”
Questioned about the value of being the best student of his class, Gaspar pointed out that it is only a parameter for one’s abilities and aptitudes. “I think that good grades do not provide you with anything for the professional life; a grade is an evaluation of a teacher towards your performance, and the fact of getting good grades, tells you that you are doing things right, but afterwards you have to implement your knowledge in the professional field.”
