Is Mexico the yard of the USA?
Mexico is richer in agriculture, ranching, mining industry and fish shop, and why if mexico have all this resources, we are in crisis?, mexico have many debts with USA goverment, we have many treaties like the TlC in Mexico and the TLCAN we export the most of our products to the americans, because of the distance and the money, but the americans have advantage, they dont pay the just, they put set a tramp for our products, they dont accept a product if one of the fuit have a defect, for example with the chicken they are very stricted and if they found a defect in the chicken they return all the goods, when the mexicans drivers need to pass to USA, they didnt accept if they dont speak english, the trade is the most important financial resource in mexico, we export all this products down price and we buy tecnology to USA and army that is expensive than other services, the mexican economy depends of the amercians.
In my opinion we need a change in the realtion with USA, focus in the trade, foreing trade and domestic trade.

What is important now a days? be thin and beautiful, be rich have brand things, be fashionable, listen English music, kwon who is JLO or Britney Spears?
The young people thing more in that topics, instead to think about the country, now a days
you need to have a lap top and know someting of computers because of the technology, have the knowlage in chat, internet and some programs, the people prefer to consult the web instead a book, in my opinion is more important the books, the radio, the magazines and the newspaper, the internet is important, because you can find all the information about one topic, and go to the institutions pages and look up information about them, but thats way many people don search a book dont have to do a resume and find the importance of a new of and article, for me is more common read in a piece of sheet or paper insted of the screen.
Nowdays the guys pass much time in the computer insted of do another activities maybe exercise, read a book, learn an instrument, and the reason is because is more fashionable have a hi, chat or have an account. Is the Internet god or bad for the new generations?

Sometimes I think if the carrer, the friends, the teachers and the classes make me
happy, I think that all the humans have a purpose in the life, all the days
we take decisions that maybe change our lifes, we think that we do the correct, but
if this dont make you feel happy, full, maybe you arent in the correct way.
Have you ever feel sad? and you dont know why?, in the ancient in greek the philosophers
said that the purpuse of the persons was find the happiness and they said that there are many ways for example, the food, many people are happy to savor a food specially of other countries thats make feel full and happy, another way and the most common is the power as you can see and example is our representants they have money but they want more a nd more thay are ambicious or maybe be stronger and powerful or have a gun make you feel powerful and thats make feel them happy, the love is another way to be happy i known many people who is in love and they are really happy all the time they are cheerful and smiling because the power of the love is very important for many persons and they can do what ever if they are in love , but not only the love to another person, maybe the love to an object to a religion, to your parents, the love to a book to the knowlege, because there are more ways to feel love, the last way is the fisical for example, the deportist who makes feel full in a competition or only to be more healty.
I think thet if we can do all of this things and balance all of them we can find the happiness

The family as many people said is the center of the society, many writers think that
the family is the most important school of the persons because we start our personality
in this and most of our values.
In the school we develop aour personallity many of the persons who we have contact influence in our lifes, for example the teachers maybe they dont paid atention went a child
can be concentrated in the class, and is rebel and most of the techers, said that is a problem guy, but the fact is that the education in Mexico is bad, because the teachers dont talk with the fathers dont help the child, they only blame them for something.
The education and the family should be the most important things to our goverment.

My name is Olimpia Atenea, is difficult for me writting

specially another languague but i am trying, because is an important way

to comunicate with other peolpe and even if is a language important

as the English, well i think that aour languague is rich because we

have many dialects, most of them was about our cultures.

Mexico was a colony of Spain, the mexican race was discriminated

because of our tanned skined, the mexicans was the slaves of the

europeans, later in 1810 Hidalgo human right fighter started

with the independence supported with Morelos they won the fight and the independence

of Mexico at the same time in Europe was the conquer of Napoleon maybe

that was the strongest reason that the europens didnt pay atention in other countries.

Next we started the Mexican revolution in 1910 because of many of the goverments

was corrupts and all the owners was americans and foreings who discriminated mexican workers and didnt give them the just wage andthe properties of the lands was the foreings.

Many of the states conserved now days and important part of our ancient cultures, if we talk about mexico is a rich country in culture and traditions and in language we have many dialects.

Dear Amy

Since two months, my uncle had an argument with my aunt, he usually discuss with her and she threw him, so my mother who is his sister decided to adapt my room for my uncle, and he now lives with us, I'm not bother about that, but something that I really hate about him is that he is a busybody, he doesnt know keep a secret, he isn't reserve.
I soon found out he has a temper and is emotionally abusive. My uncle is 45 years old, my parents told me that he changes his mood immediately. I don't know what to do in this case, we had never being in touch, and I have beautiful moments when I was a child with my uncle, but nowadays I can't have a pacific discussion because he gets angry and he was getting impatient and makes me feel clumsy and insecure.
I guess I need to see the situation in black and white.

My treasure possesion

Many people think that the most treasured possession is something economical, I don't think the same way, perhaps Have you ever keep a photograph, a letter a book or just something and have you ever stoopped thinking why was important to have and conserved that?
Furthermore some people used to think that the value of the possession they're own, comes from the prize thaey had paid giving to that things an economical value.
Something happened to me when I was 17 because as many people y loved the expensive things maybe those kind of things make you feel strong an interesting. One day my Godmother who I loved, became un well, so in that week I went to see her, she said me that the hospital food was awful and she will want a fast food, she took my hand although she couldn't breathe she asked me for a suck of water, I was very sad when I saw her with his naked and inert body, that was the last time I saw my Godmother, my mother told me that when I left the room my godmother didn't back to speak with nobody and she inmediatly lost consciousness but I wasnt giving up hope that my godmother recuperate unfortunatly she died that day I was the last person she got a lucid conversation because she had a brain hemorrhage.
Since that moment I think that the real treasure possession is something that remembers you the love that one person represents for you.

FRIEND LETTER

Hi my new Canadian friend

My name is Atenea, Iam twenty years old. At this moment Iam a sixth grade student of Law at UNAM. Did you know that is the best University in Mexico?
If you want to experience Mexico, I recommend you taste the food; especially chilaquies, huaraques, pozole. As you know, we have different cultures.

I think a good place to go on a vacation is Cancun, there are many beaches and activities, if yoiu like peace and nature you have to go to Michoacan and see the Monarch Butterfly.

Here in the Center of Mexico there are pubs and disco's maybe you can visit Mama Rumba`s Club.
I am so interested on life in Canada and your coustoms.
I hope you like Mexico, the people are friendly and kind.
Sincerely
ATENEA
