MY MEXICO

 

 

 

Mexico is the country that I came from, but I’m originally from Jalilsco State. Jalisco, officially Free and Sovereign State of Jalisco, is one of the 31 states which, with the Federal District. It is located in Western Mexico and divided in 125 municipalities and its capital city is Guadalajara. It is one of the more important states in Mexico because of its natural resources as well as its history. Many of the characteristic traits of Mexican culture, particularly outside Mexico, are originally from Jalisco, such as mariachi, ranchera music, tequila, jaripeo, etc. Economically, it is ranked third in the country, with industries centered in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, the second largest metropolitan area in Mexico. The state is home to two significant indigenous populations, the Huichols and the Nahuas. There is also a significant foreign population, mostly retirees from the United States and Canada, living in the Lake Chapala and Puerto Vallarta areas.

 

 

 

I chose to President Barack Obama because he has been a really good president. As a latino, Obama means a lot to me. Even though he has tried to make The Immigration Reform a reality, he hasn’t been able. However, I know that one day all latinos in this country will be free to work, to live and to have a better life.

 

This brave man is very important in the Mexico history. When he was alive, he fought for the rights of the poor and Indian people that were treated as slaves, and on September 15, 1810, he formed an army with all these people and fight to the Spanish army; it was a difficult battle, but in the end they ended up victorious. Ever since, every year on September 15, we Mexicans celebrate our Independency.

 

The Virgin of Guadalupe is the most important woman for all Catholic Mexicans.  As you can see she is not all dressed up, on the contrary, she is wearing typical clothing that Indians from Mexico wear. She was a very humble lady and this is why all Mexican love her so much and every time we are going through difficult times, we go where she is and tell our prayers to her with the certainty that she will hear us.
