II. ME AS A
MEXICAN
// PART IV-A: ME AS A MEXICAN (BEING A MEXICAN)
I’m a Mexican,
since I was born. That fact is not disputed. My mother is Mexican and my father
too. All my family is Mexican, even my two dogs, my fish and my two cats. But I
don’t say these words as a joke I’m really saying these words because this is
the truth.
In my life, the Mexican
characteristics are presents, not only in the people, in the food too and in
all things that exist around me. For example, I really wonder my life; the
Mexican parties are in all places, at all hours and in all days. The people are
happy, joker and the links between us are very, very strong. I think that be
Mexican is be happy, full of optimist and hope, and the same way, be Mexican
means have a big appetite.
For me be Mexican is the
same to be one with nature, with the world. All the ancient treasures, ruins,
civilizations and discoveries show us that the Mexicans have a big legacy, and
a long, very long history. But many people are forgetting these things. I think
we are free. The meaning of be Mexican is hidden in our history, in the deepest
part of our person. I think that the essence of Mexican is different for
people, but for me, be Mexican is “being sole”.
In conclusion, I feel that
be Mexican is be unique, different and special like a diamond. But I think that
“Being Mexican” is hidden still. For you, what is the meaning of be a Mexican?
Each one will find him own meaning for that question at a specific time in him
life, and this meaning will be like a gold mirror that never will brake.
II. ME AS A
MEXICAN
// PART IV-B: ME AS A MEXICAN (WHO I AM AS MEXICAN)
Sincerely, the
thing I really love of be Mexican is the food. I love eat the typical dinners,
the flavors and odors. All the gastronomic arts in my country are my treasure.
I feel that the food is one of the things that is more representative of Mexico
in the international ambit. I will learn to prepare two, three, four or more
Mexican dinners, simply because I love their.
In other ambit, the
international tendencies are in Mexico and I enjoy their too. The food like
hamburgers, sandwiches, pizza and more dinners are in the day by day. Not only
the food, I really enjoy the international things, animation, movies and music.
All this things are invaded Mexico, and the world. In this ambit, I’m lost as
Mexican; but not at all. In the cartoons, I love the Mexican translates. The
Mexican expressions in the American cartoons are very funny, and I really enjoy
it. I use the Mexican dialogues, and the Mexican expressions all the time. But
in the rest of things of this ambit, I’m in the international side.
The signs, symbols and
treasures of our country, are very important for me. The archeological
mysteries and ruins are very interesting. The ancient civilizations of Mexico
are very exiting, and interesting. I love study this civilization in the
history classes, but I dislike the colonial times, the wars, independence
battle and all this things in the Mexico’s history. I only love the ancient
dates.
I’m, as Mexican, a little
drop in the ocean; I love the decorations, the typical Mexican things, the
colors, the ambient, the people and the “happy-sense” of live
II. ME AS A
MEXICAN
// PART IV-C: ME AS A MEXICAN (WHAT I CAN DO FOR MY
NATION)
What I can do
for my nation? For start, I can do my student role. In the Mexico of the
present, the students have the future in their shoulders. All the adults say
“You only study”. I study, everyday, but I play too. I enjoy my country, my
live. This is the first thing I can do for my country, have respect for him and
study in “hard-mode” and “twenty four seven-mode”.
The second thing I can do
for my nation is one thing that the men with eighteen years old have done. The
Militia haves the work to find people to help the nation in extreme situations
like social wars or other situations with more danger for the nation. But my
work in this ambit isn’t this, I’m going to give my services to my nation, not
in wars. I’m going to help the society with many works, also called “Social
Service”. This is the work that the men with eighteen years old have done in
Mexico.
We are talking about
service, this is other thing I can do for my nation. I can do service, but not
“Social Service”. I can help in the trash recollections, in the food
recollection and in the all recollections. In this way, I can help the people
is damaged for the nature. I can do my personal recollection. I can create
conscience in my partners. I can help people in troubles. In conclusion, I can
be a hero for one day and to save a one person.
My role in Mexico is
important than the role of each person in the nation. I can to do many
different things, but the main thing I can do is have hope in the future, and create this future with my hands.
