Semester TWO, Blog #2

1st
So many things were going trough my mind; I felt some type of admiration, inspiration and hope. I never heard some one like Charles (mentor) talk the way he did about Latin America especially, Mexico. I forgot about the borders, and color diving countries I forgot of racism. The way he was expressing his feelings about Mexico, should be the some way we should expresses about other countries, admiring and respecting their tradition, food, people and culture. I remember Diana telling me that Charles was one of those white guys that was all into “Viva la raza” and the moment he shared his experience with me proved it.

Charles Pope was born and raised in San Diego. Both of his parent were math teachers, his brother inhered the math gene, but he developed a greater interest in international relations especially in Latin America “I didn’t speak the language of math, I ended up learning Spanish and portages” Charles explain. “When I was in college I decide to study abroad in Spain and that really turn out to be a career decision.” He added. After learning Spanish in Spain Charles came back to California. He wanted to contribute into future social justice in Mexico, his great interest in the Mexican culture and language seem the trans-border institute a good fit.

Should I make my intro more descriptive?
Do i need more quotes?
Do you think I'm kind of using the loop?
Is my article somewhat interesting?
If not how can I make it ?

The way he speaks about Mexico is the way we should express ourselves about other countries—respectful of people and their culture. I remember that my freshmen humanities teacher, Diana told me “Charles was one of those white guys that was all into “Viva la raza” and the moment he shared his experience with me proved it.

Having the opportunity from his jobs to travel to different parts of México, such as Ciuada Juarez; one of the city’s that has been impacted the most from NAFTA North American Free Trade Agreement and the Maquiladora industry, has made him realize that “the united states is responsible for some of off the problems they have experiences and we have an obligation as neighbors to help them out.” He also found Brazil and México very similar “they both gave big economies yet they are both categorized by high degree of inequality and they both have a serious public security problem.”
“If we are helping to educate and inform elective officials and the voting public I think that in the long it is going to be very helpful and important.” The Trans-Border Instituted is filed with people like Charles informing and trying to educate people here in United States about thing that are happening in Mexico that effects us “I feel we are making some small contribution to future social justice in México and into the border region”
Charles wants to work closer with Latin America so he career aspirations have changed “I want to get into corporate social responsibility; which how business can make a profit and at the same time help the environment labor and further social change by acting responsibility “ at the end of the interview I was thinking that it’s a great way to build healthy jobs in Latin America.??
