My mother and God, they have given me the strength to be myself and stand up for what I beleive in.
"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it."
- Mother Teresa

Peru Is…
Sturdy women in colorful fabrics, slinging babies like sacks of rice over their backs
Llamas named Carlos walking the streets of Cuzco wearing hot pink earrings
People from around the globe visiting Macchu Picchu, while most Peruvians will never afford to go
Indigenas holding on to their cultures in the face of rampant globalization, while tourists pay to watch
Clay Bulls on rooftops, protecting homes.
Choclo- big fat ears of corn that taste like potatoes, sold for 30c through train windows
The Pacific Ocean, crashing up against the western shores, creating pockets of beauty, and sometimes affluence(with Oceanside views, Miraflores, Lima)
Hours of hard work at a loom, bartered down by the American for a few bucks.
Parades, parades, parades, everywhere. Costumes, music, dancing. In every city, village and town, the main streets stay alive with partying and parades.
Peru Is… The birthplace of a new set of dreams for me, of finally learning another language, of steeping outside my comfort zone, of engaging with peoples and cultures and languages that were not completely obliterated with imperialism.
