Whenever I visit home and people find out that I live and teach in Colombia the first question is "Aren't you scared?"
My reply is always, "I'll go to Colombia before I'll go to Mexico." Being that I live in south Texas very near to Mexico there is usually an understanding, yet some people still don't get it. My guess is that they don't watch the news.
Colombia has a bad rap, whereas, Mexico our neighborhood in which weekend trips to the border are as common as trips to Grandma's house. In my three years since I left Texas it seems to have been a downward spiral and nothing so clearly states that to me as this video.
This teacher's ability to remain calm despite the horrifying actions happening outside her window borders on superhuman. As a teacher I simply cannot imagine it. This is bravery.
