Antibiotics seem to be the most prevalent and convenient way to cure an illness, but Esteban Silva demonstrates why antibiotic misuse is so common and how this habit can complicate the eradication of future diseases.

17-year-old Esteban Silva enjoys tennis and participating in tournaments and ultimately plans on attending university in the United States. One of the many things he enjoys is helping others achieve or fulfill their expectations; either by explaining something to them or just helping them by ensuring they have a pleasant time.
