Today I'm here to talk about something more serious. It's nothing related to Hamilton, but please, read it.
As you may know, I'm from Mexico. I just moved here to the U.S. four months ago.
I'm not going to make you read the whole story of what I felt when we moved, and leaving my home, and blah blah blah, I will just summarize it the best as I can in the next sentence.
At the beginning I was exited to come here, but at the same time I didn't want to. Mostly because there's a lot of problems we have in Mexico that I want to help.
There's insecurity, the government is corrupt, they steal all the money from our taxes, there's children working and begging you for money in every single street, every day at least 11 people disappear, and every day women are being raped, kidnaped, sell as prostitutes, and killed. They kidnap and kill children to sell their organs. And that... that just makes me so sad.
And it's not something that's has started two or three months ago, it has been there all the time. In 1968 the government killed and disappeared about 500 to 600 students, teachers, mothers, and children, who pacifically protesting at Tlatelolco (a big plaza). And a year later, the president who gave the order to kill them said that he was proud of his decision.

And in 2014, 43 students were kidnaped by the government, and they haven't even say where are they, or if they are alive or not. They haven't said what they did to them, and all their families have to suffer every single day, wondering what could have happened to their son.

It's horrible to hear the news in Mexico, they are always bad things. And the government hasn't make anything to change it.
I love my country, but when I think about those things... it's just so hard to see what your country is suffering. To pray everyday that no one in your family has to suffer that.
In this chapter I wanted to make you know that I'm really really really angry right now (I'm crying of anger).
The gasoline prices in Mexico are just above the sky.
