Who's Really Behind the History?

March 21, 2008

Arriving in Venezuela was a great feeling, having the flight delayed didn’t turn out to be as bad as I thought considering the cooler whether. Seeing all the different people yet still looking similar in different ways is nice to see. Our first day we learned many new things about the history of Venezuela. I love the way Luis taught us making things interesting and fun. One thing that I liked the most was the fact that he had mentioned and made clear that even though history is made out to think that it was the conquistadors that made the country what it was it was really the people native and Africans that put their strength, blood, and tears into the success of the country and without them none of the Americas would be what it today. I aprechiate his recognition
to those who have never gotten it, THE REAL HEROS. I feel good about the decision I made about commiting myself to this experience, I am learning new things and expanding on my views on the world.
