*~DULCE MEXICANESS~*

"After the storm, a beautiful rainbow shall appear!!"

"Despues de la tormenta, brillara un lindo arcoiris!!"

Last week we were asked to imagine that the situation in Mexico and the U.S.A switched? How would you take the change? Would you be able to leave your home in the U.S to live in Mexico's rising economy to provide for your family? What would you bring?, what would you take?

For me, this question has come up in our family talks before. I think it would be beautiful to be able to go back and make a living in Mexico. Being able to enjoy family and the culture up close and personal...PRICELESS!! = )
 

America has opened the door not only to my parents, but for soo many of mi jente. Con un poco de esfuerzo y esperanza todo es posible. Sacar adelante a su familia, como mis padres lo lograron. He had to learn English, adapt to different beliefs and continuous to stride for a better life. Both my mother and father have given up a little of their culture para encontrar una nueva oportunidad para sus hijos. Anque algunas veses era de no poder contestarles con la misma respuesta el ingles. You can say it's bittersweet, bitter because we never could say we know how to live in Mexico with all the struggles and beauty that comes with. And sweet because both my parents tried to keep as much of our culture in our lives. And as a parent with two boys, les quiero enculcarles lo importante de aceptar y EMBRACE their MEXICANESS/ LATINONESS!! To know about the Aztecs, to know about Pancho Villa, to understand why is it SOO important to also get that education that their grandparents never had. To better themselves. Not NO one else but themselves. To dream and dream BIG and don't give up on any dreams until they come true. That whatever is thrown at them, the out come will be even sweeter!
