People in Colombia

When I read my University application form and I stopped in the point where you talked about an essay I had to write and all the possible ways I could choose .It really was difficult to choose just one thing to talk about. There are so many issues I would like to mention, but I would like to share with you, my concern of the image of our country and real state. Anyway I am sure that in both cases I couldn’t left either without mentioning them. As you can see in TV shows and the news head lines in our country , and many times in yours too, Colombia is passing through the most critical moment we had since.......... Our economic, social and political bases have been affected with the corruption and coldness of the soul in these people involved in those processes.

Our political leaders have been judged for their integrity, and honesty, our people are falling in an unbelievable economic depression, and moral values which used to be so important and respected are now team of debate.

However we are still a large percentage of real Colombians. , and I happened to say real, because Colombia and Colombians is just not that small amount of corruptors. We are beautiful people, we like to give love and support to our surroundings. We are hard workers and very intelligent people who have been covered with this cloud of disgraces. Why don’t we talk about Patarroyo, why not talk about Garcia Marquez or the many Colombian business man who don’t only work in huge respectful companies exporting our products, but also many work in American companies with very outstanding positions? I cant understand why they are not mentioned, but I can see why they are where they are, they are Colombians, nice, respectful and hard workers.

I happened to grow in a family where the typical agricultural work was our way of a living. We had big farms and cultivated different crops, such as coffee, and other beans, and I personally miss our old Colombia. Being able to be at our farms working, learning from the people and making a living from a very beautiful country.

However as a real Colombian I am here to make of myself one of those outstanding businesswoman. I think that our country has the hope with people like me, the young.
