San Salvador

people. Even though I have had memorable memories there is one memory that I will never forget, the day when my family and I traveled to El Salvador. El Salvador is known as the smallest country in Central America. The reason why we went on a vacation to El Salvador was because it is both of my parent’s hometown. Once we arrived at the airport of El Salvador family members and friends greeted us. During our vacation we went to visit tourist places, but I did notice a couple of differences than…

Born in Figueres, Spain on May 11, 1904 Salvador Dali imagination was created. Salvador didn’t always want to become an artist, but had incredible ambitions . His imagination and creative differed from others, at the age of 21 at the School of Fine Arts he was asked to draw a virgin just as he saw it in front of him and drew a pair of scales.

Moving from a country to another is already hard enough. Having to adapt and even learn a new language makes it twice as difficult. This is something that a lot of people in the United States have to deal with, myself included. I moved from El Salvador when I was nine years old. I had to get accustomed to practically a new way of living. I had to get used to a new culture and a new way of communicating. I started fourth grade here and I was put in an ESL class. My first year in school wasn’t as…

We were not able to open the windows or answering the phone while we were alone. My older sister was about 15 years old, one day we heard gun shooting right in front of our…

Humans are complex beings that are always trying to progress onward, whether it would be through physical strength or through self-expression. To be human, there is a craving for something more and something that can move themselves from where they are to elsewhere. They can move forward, to the left or the right.

On the morning of September 11th, 1973, Pinochet and his military began their attack on the presidential palace, La Moneda. “Inside La Moneda, Allende then donned a metal helmet” and stood his ground awaiting his demise. Over the span of two hours “the palace was hit by at least eight bombs…the resistance within the palace exchanged fire with [Pinochet’s military]” and battle ensued, “yet these efforts were in vain.” By 2:00 PM that day, Pinochet and his men stormed the palace, only to find…

to, and Wharton represents an invaluable opportunity in which I would be able to prepare myself adequately, in order to accomplish all that I have ever dreamed of. It would not only allow me to become an exemplary businessperson with the ethics El Salvador so desperately needs, but to later pursue a career in politics and help those, that one day I realized, are really struggling.
