My latino in history essay is about Dr. Raul Cuero. Seeing as though Hispanics can make a huge difference in our world, there are many Hispanics who have contributed a lot of their work in the world of science and technology. He happens to be one of them.

Raul was born in 1948 to a poor and humble family in Buenaventura, Colombia. In his hometown Buenaventura, during the 1950’s more than 30% of the children died from diseases such as parasites, malaria, tuberculosis and viral diseases before reaching the age of ten. He went to elementary school in “Escuela Ignacio Rengifo” in Buenaventura. He went to high school in “Colegio Pascual de Andagoya” in Buenaventura. He did his professional studies in “Universidad del Valle” in Cali.

Since Dr. Cuero didn't have any toys to play with when he was younger, crawling animals became his passion. When he was younger, he was an athlete ( BIOGRAPHY). He loved sports. He loved basketball more than any other sport. He was also an outstanding basketball player. Dr. Cuero is a PhD Microbiologist, a distinguished professor, a research leader, an inventor, and a scientist. He is also the Research Director of the IPOC, which stands for the International Park of Creativity. He is the founder and chairman of the Parks of creativity.
