Essay: Ortega Daz Eduardo Writing Well

I do not know what to think of my country. It has many beautiful sceneries going from deserts and
great desolation in the septentrional part of Mexico, where some people go to meditate about life,
to the variegated waters of the south of Mexico such as Campeches beaches or Cenotes de
Yucatan. I have to admit it, those places are not seen in many countries. We live in a country full of
life where, as you can see, the weather can change so easily. Mexico as many under-developed
countries boasts of a great distinction of metals such as gold, silver, bronze, zinc or minerals such
as petroleum, gas and little stones.
Mexico has people who are willing to get up really early to go to work or to school not
withstanding if they commute two hours or more. Taking into account that we live in a globalized
world where many people use cars to get to their destinations, making no easy task to get
wherever you want to go. People get stressed while crossing the whole city.
During my whole life I have seen professors who love their jobs, this can I say because I have spent
a great part of my life at schools, and this enables me to talk about the education that we receive
at schools. When we, Mexican students, find a mentor who can teach well. We are provoked to a
feeling of admiration which makes us imitate what is wright, the same happens when we have
parents who choose to do the right. I have seen people doing their best, but I have seen many
others just losing themselves with alcohol, drugs, television, bad councils, wrong decisions anyway
an endless spiral of perdition. So this is the other part or the coin.
Mexico has a great expansion of territory, so all the money that is collected in taxes must be high,
theoretically this makes the creation of schools and hospitals a piece of cake, but this does not
happen. Why? Ask politicians. Mexico might not have many professionals but what happens to
those who are able to finish school and later go to other countries. They every now and then are
recognized but they forget to give some credit to their countries. They abandon the ship, but they
do not seek for help to return and save the drowning crew, they just see from afar how the ship
sinks. No more rescued people, no Superman for Mexico?
In the north of Mexico drug dealers are being eradicated from their dens, in the south people are
so poor because the corn field has been forgotten by the government, then we see news about
the president buying a plane for traveling more comfortable. The confortability of one person
costs us 7, 000, 000 500 pesos, and the food with which we could feed the Mexicans is abandoned
in promises to the people of Mexico.
Finally I can see a beacon of hope when I see movements like the one in the last two weeks where
I see people from Politecnico going on a demonstration to demand that the nuevo plan de
estudios is rejected because it will affect the way in which Politecnicos prepare in Mexico.
Technicians instead of engineers was going to be a hard blow to education in Mexico, but the way
in which they let the government know their inconformity was something different of the
accustomed. This time we did not see riots, social disorder at the streets nor graffiti or vandalism,
this time everything was at ease, non-violent, showing education and fighting for a good cause.
My country is a country of light and shadow where the coin is still in the air waiting to fall and give
us the expected result and not falling into the sewer.
