In a place where i never being

A long distance “experiences”

United States for someone is the top of the world, but for me it is the feet of the mountain. During the almost two years that I have been here in San Antonio, Texas I have learned so many things that I never could have imagined and all those things make me grow up as a person, to understand the people, the environmental, and the different culture. Texas is a place where we can find many kinds of cultures with a beautiful and friendship peoples and its majesty places that bring peaceful and inspiration to the foreign. All my experiences here has inspirited me to have goals such as to travel around the world to know more about the culture, that’s why I say before that EE.UU is for me the feet of a mountain, but for now I have a goals that is to work with my community in Colombia brining all my knowledge that I learned here; the first thing that I want to do is to educate the people about the culture identity and environmental and resources to begin a project like a museum in my community which one will be couple with all the worthy resources from there that way we can use the resource that haven’t been exploited like the sea, beaches, mangroves, fauna and flora, typical activities (dances, music, food). So the visitor could enjoy.
“I want to say that when I arrived here we my other IALS (Indigenes and afrolatinos Scholarship program) student I did not know anything about computer or electronic staff, even English, now I can use Email client, social networking sites, Bio, blogs and also how to do and design a web site I learned English that is awesome for me . IALS it‘s kind of nerd.

The savor of new experience in
San Antonio.











It is the American dream? My name is Joel Marugo G. I’m from Colombia Cartagena Bolivar and I come from a wonderful community around the beautiful beaches and a shiny sun with longest bright green forest of mangroves.
When I finish the high school, in Nov 12/07, I didn’t have any money to start a career in an university so, a feel so frustrated, but thanks to God I get some information about the government grain to study ecotourism in Unite State. I did all the applications but any of my family didn’t know about this so I did, but the applications were almost one year. I was so exited there was some problem that even could feel me bad, because the interview was hard, there were over 280 student in competition, I had so faithful in God. so anyway I get it and now here I am.
I have discovered that there are not differentiation in the people because we all are person which one have to have respect, but in contrast all the people have a different minds when we talk about the culture, religion, society etc. I have learned and still learn the different cultures that exit in my IALS friends, in the case of the Americans culture was difficult for us to adapted in so many things like the food, music, climate personal behaviors etc.
To be here and Unite State make me be pride of my country and shape more my magnificent community “ La Boquilla” that have been recognized because have a worth and happiest people and their typical dishes, with the basic product that is fish, the crewed festival, the folklore dances such as “mapale, bullerengue, and cumbia.” So I miss this, but I need to adapted here and I really doing it.
San Antonio is so nice city, one of the things that I like is the people that are kind and appreciated the diversity races or culture, the people have a chili hearth, a taco smile, a greeting of enchiladas, and a hugs of the hot soup of menu. So anyway that is the San Antonio people with a desire of share.

Bamberger Ranch as a learning Service

Bamberger Ranch as a learning Service

Well I think I have too much talk about the trip that we made to Bamberger Ranch, but let me say the most important that is for me. Everybody was working together.
For beginning I want to say that to be there was a wonderful experience for me and I think for everyone and it is not enough, we all learn how to service to the costumer, there were twenty five student and four mentors from Central America and we received them, helping with the accommodations and other staff like feeding them. Yes we were there cooking food for them. We split the group in two groups for hours to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We woke up around six o’clock to get the breakfast ready for them and also we was on our feet for 12 hours in the kitchen, with this I don’t want to say that it was wore, not it was awesome specially because I knew more peoples from different cultures and I like that, to know people is one of my favorite things.
Even got so much stress we could survived to this challenger, that living many experiences on my life and I know that I will do something else to learn more every day, I know that learn is just a to give the opportunity to recognize what we have I front of us. http://www.bambergerranch.org/.






when we arrived after 3 hours on a long way, the ranch i felt fresh, and in a calm condition.

there were not too much bagges but too much things to do.

around the very beatiful montains, with the wild life I was so relaxed.


Time to took some pictures , waiting for the Central America student.












REMAINING OF MY PROJECT

Culture House Center town of the
The fishing men


My project is about improve us culture and shows to the tourist what we doing and resource do we have.
Growth: this project will offer production at "full employment," which Gonne get jobs in some staff in the project demand development to the community. If the there are less jobs I need think in make a new activities and other places where the visitors can go and enjoy and the local people can get more jobs.

I want to teach to the community to respect and keep the culture and the environmental and get some laws for make better habit will be for the local people and also for the tourist. One of the consequences is that the tourist could make trash in anywhere.
The solution will be have make rules and educate to the peoples to keep the places clean.
In the aspect social first I need to talk to the local people and get know what they think about the project.
