Why I Chose Mexico

grew up in Chicago, Illinois, a beautiful city surrounded by violence and controversy by the media. I found things more simple when I was kid growing up here, there wasn't much to worry about but as I got older things became more complex here. The sounds of the " L "' or as you know it as, The Train, and the roaring sounds of cars passing by my house made me feel alive while growing up and as a matter of fact still does. You could wake up in the morning and see the vibrant blue skies being pierced by the skyscrapers and see other kids playing ball or riding their bikes. When it was summer time I would play ins sprinklers or go downtown and play in the fountains with my family. Of course, like most big cities I had to watch my back while growing up because you never knew what somebody was up to. It's weird really growing up here because you never know what's going to happen next , wether it's a good thing or a bad thing. All I can really say about growing up in Chicago is that if I had the chance to redo it, I'd do if a million times.

Hispanics in the United States have a history rooted for centuries. Many different cultures make up this group dubbed ‘Hispanics’, each with their own identity, culture, and struggles. However, they do group together in a common fight to gain a more stable and positive foot hold in the U.S.

Being Hispanic means a lot to me is part of my identity in this country and synonym of hard working individuals. We as Hispanics are taking a step further everyday taking more important positions and making our voice be heard in political, economic, and social issues. I would like to be part of that change, to create a more optimistic view of technology and see my name in articles, and for them to share my story as an immigrant and Hispanic. We are categorized as minority we are often stereotype, but we have one of the greatest future as a group culture ahead that soon or later have to be reach. I am extremely proud of my culture of be surround by hard working people that is willing to advance no matter how terrible the storm may look.

Growing up as a Chicano in a Mexican family has made me grow accustomed to the lifestyle of Hispanics and the struggles that can come with it. This research has helped me more clearly define the differences between the Hispanics and the Anglos in terms of family and social status. I learned how unique a Mexican’s pride is for their country and tradition, and how America was so massively impacted by Hispanics dating back to the time of the Spaniards’ first expeditions here. I also learned why it is the Southwest that is more predominantly Hispanic and I learned of how Spanish customs, culture, and language was spread. However, even while we do not fit so highly in social status, my research also made me proud to be Hispanic because we hold on to our past and traditions so that we can know where we are

How do people feel when something completely biased is not in their favor? When people are specifically targeted against for doing nothing wrong, is a horrible feeling. This is what happens every day to Mexicans. Mexicans are practically hated if they try to come in our country compared to the Canadians we enjoy having. People are shocked with the eye-opening question, “why Mexico and not Canada”. This is not because Mexicans are any worse but because there is a stereotype problem. . . . This is a major problem buried in our country about the unjust discrepancy between the acceptance of Mexican and Canadian Immigrants. . .

It is important to promote studying Spanish and the Hispanic Culture because of its increasing popularity in our home nation, and by learning Spanish we can be more inclusive towards other members of our nation. At almost 500 million Spanish speakers, Spanish is one of the top spoken languages in the world. Even more compelling is the fact that about half of the population in the Western hemisphere speaks Spanish, making it the primary language for as many people as English in this region. Since America has been known for immigration from countless countries, America has seen a growing popularity of Spanish. When the number of native speakers and second language speakers are combined, the United States is the second largest Spanish speaking

When I was a little kid we lived in Alabama.My dad had a job that involved moving around a lot. When we first moved I didn’t really like it, but I was also going excited because we were going somewhere new. Through out my life till now I have lived in seven different places. I visited many different towns and cities. I didn’t always agree/love moving. So here's my story.

My heart started pounding against my chest, trying to escape and find a healthy pair of lungs, because mine it seemed had been replaced with those of a six-year-old girl. My mouth grew cold and dry as if the air around me was on the brink of snow. I desperately tried to tell my brain that everything was fine and that there's no need to panic. But my brain ignored me, as it had done many times before, and ordered by organs to keep fighting the against the danger to come. My head never seems to listen to me.

When I think of Mexico, the first thing that comes to mind is drugs and violence, but also a home of sorts. My roots lie in Mexico and I love it, but the drugs and the violence has a firm grip on my perception of it. My views are not influenced by my own experiences, they are influenced by others’ experiences, mainly my father’s stories.

I can not even imagine the anxiety that would come with being diagnosed with heart disease at such a young age. To be diagnosed with heart disease at any age would be disconserting to say the least. Your doctor seemed to have a good grasp of both not only the physical healing but the emotional healing that would need to take place. Its nice to be around people that want to take care of the mind as well as the body. I hope that your condition is better and that you are in a better place as you start this journey

I grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, a place in South Texas that is known for being a beautiful vacation attraction due to the beaches and other summer attractions. However, when I think of what made me who I was today, none play a more vital role than the city itself. I lived in Corpus Christi for twenty years of my life until I vowed to get out of the city and never return. I joined the military in the summer of 2011 and do not plan to ever move back for the rest of my life. But, I do not have hatred for the city, in fact I love the city for all the memories it gave me and the people that I met living there. I just never want to live there or want that to be a place where I raise my future children. The city itself is a different culture than

I was handed a ticket by a nice person telling me that I was able to travel anywhere in the world. I was grateful that this kind person gave me a ticket to travel anywhere in the world. I started to think where I was planning to go. I started to come up with different places to go and I finally thought about a better place. Mexico City was the place that I thought that would be I good place to go. I thought that it could be a good place to compare the Mexico that I know and the Mexico City that I haven't been to. I would be able to see the people that work and what different types of work that they are able to do when going there. In Mexico City I can go to different restaurants that they have there and what kind of food that they have. I would like to go and see the place that they are known for, which is the ruins of the prehistoric Aztec. I think that it would be a good opportunity to learn the past and what happened to make that country known. I think that the ruins would be an interesting place to remember and tell my family about the ruins. People think that Mexico City is only a place for business and there's nothing interesting, but if people really look at different places they can see the place that are really unique as well as learn more about the background of Mexico City.

There are many options to think about when choosing a global career. One that interests me would be my home country of Mexico. Even though I was born there I was raised in the United States my whole life. It would be nice to explore my roots beyond the small amount of visiting I have done. I currently still have a lot of family that lives and works in Mexico. My family ranges from jobs in industrial factories to careers in Politics. In past conversations with them I have learned that the working needs, set up and pay is much different to the United States. Bigger companies such as the industrial factories offer charter bus transportation to and from work, almost three weeks of paid time off in December for the holiday season and the pay is

We went back to the hospital the next day and they cleared me to... I was set! I was ready to live the life of every other kid would have already. I no longer had to carry a bag around to make sure my heart would stay although I would still have to constantly go in for checkups on my heart and, such but it was so much better now that my parents weren't constantly stressed out wondering if I would even live to tomorrow. This changed my life completely because now I live life with no regrets no things I wish I would've done it's more what I need to do next time. I learned to not take your life for granted and anybody who is going through struggles that you should be there for their family and them and send them prayers because they need it more than you think. Looking back and being retold this story by anybody who I met is crazy because I always go back to thinking about the fact that I could've been dead by now, I could've fainted and never woken up from it. I guess it's crazy to think about how I'm lucky to be alive right now and playing lacrosse in the burning heat or always being on the ice for hockey and having few if any of the fainting spells in a month when I used to have them weekly. Live your life as though today is your last

When my mom was 5 months pregnant with me during a routine ultrasound the doctors discovered that I would be born with a heart condition. I have three different disorders, which are Atrioventricular canal defect also known as congenital defect, Heterotaxy, and Pulmonary Atresia. Atrioventricular canal is a condition that occurs when there’s a hole between the heart’s chambers and problems with the valves that regulate blood flow into the heart. Heterotaxy syndrome is a rare birth defect that involves the heart and other organs. Pulmonary Atresia is defined as a birth defect
