Eye Opening Education

Its really interesting to learn about the history of Guatemala and its civil wars that its been having, particularly in recent decades. I had the opportunity to go there a few years ago and had no idea that the people had only recently been through so much civil warfare (and in many cases were still going through it). It was so apparent in the people’s humble faces that they had been through struggles in their life, but I had no idea to what extent their trials had escalated. Having learned more from reading these pieces of literature and seeing the documentary in class the other day are very motivating to go back to better appreciate what the people you meet have been through.
