Where in the World Did my Blog Go?

Rather than ranting on and on, I found an outlet for my work. After 5 years of working in Community Colleges in New Jersey and City Tech in Brooklyn, I found an opportunity since July 2016 to teach at a University in Mexico. Rather than listening to American media only provide 2% coverage of the real Mexico, I found my way here to learn just how diverse and how beautiful Mexico is. The people are diverse as the landscape and the culture is rich and overwhelming. It is sad that politicians rant and rave about a place that they know so little about.

Another reason that I came to Mexico was that after teaching students in the USA with immigrant parents or immigrants themselves, many students from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and more, I felt it was part of my responsibility to see where my students originated from before seeking the American Dream and to work so hard once they arrived. I learned a interesting quote in Spanish from a friend, "que chingalo, hazlo todos modos" - What the fuck, just do it anyway!
