Come to Mexico!!
Ad for Hoy
It’s only January and I’m posting signs around campus for a spring break trip. There’s even snow on the ground! I’m sick of the cold weather though. For the last four months, I’ve been in England, and now that I’ve return to North Carolina it is still cold. So Cuernavaca’s beautiful sunny weather is rather appealing right now.
After graduating last year, my friend, Cindy, headed down to Cuernavaca. She’s had a love affair with Mexico for a while so it was right for her. Along with teaching English, she helps out with this non-profit, Por un mejor HOY! I had mentioned getting a group together to come down and see her. When I returned stateside, she asked if I was serious. I replied with, “Sure. Mexico. Why not?”
But now as I frantically scrambled around campus trying to find people to come do service in Mexico for spring break, I’m not so sure…what if I can’t get a group together? My friends have already bailed on me….good excuses, I suppose. One who is student teaching has a different spring break than us, another is already planning to use the break for serious thesis time, and the rest cite financial problems. We are, after all, living in a recession.
If I can’t even convince my friends to come, how am I going to convince the rest of Elon?
