I attended an event at Davidson County Community College where students talked about their experiences traveling abroad. Mariah took care of children from Honduras, Tameka went to Guatemala, Christopher went to Ireland while Chris talked about traveling to fifteen different countries.

It sounded like he just went to Ireland for a note on his resume not for fun, he didn’t even have any pictures. Even though almost all of the speakers felt like school presentations it still made me curious about studying abroad here at Davidson county community college.

Guatemala has been afflicted by corruption in the government and violence imposed by the drug cartel for some time but the best solution to improve the situation remains a point of contention, which inhibits the government from doing anything effectual.
