The international student I interviewed was Carmen Hernandez. Carmen is originally from Veracruz, Mexico, on the Gulf of Mexico. The reason Carmen chose to study at Oklahoma State University is because the place she studies gave her the opportunity to come to Oklahoma to study. Carmen is currently studying her Master's in International Studies. Carmen said at first it was difficult to understand the teachers, but as she progressed things improved. There was a pirate teacher who was very difficult to understand that he was a Chinese professor. After graduation, Carmen wants to stay and work in the United States. Carmen describes that her community is very beautiful, just like the Stillwater community. At first Carmen was very nervous when she arrived in the United States, she was homesick for a couple of months and missed her family. Oklahoma State University made her feel welcoming and part of the Cowboy family. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"?

He was captured and sold into slavery in Mexico. Yangga achieved independence and freedom for African slaves in Mexico. In the 19th century, Yanga was named the national hero of Mexico. Any ceremonies or festival occasions recall historical events. One event that affected Carmen was the Day of the Dead. Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout the southern region and by people of Mexican descent elsewhere. The Day of the Dead focuses on the gathering of family and friends to pray and remember friends and family who had passed away and help support their spiritual journey. The Day of the Dead is celebrated on October 31st and ends on November 2nd. The Carmen family serves favorite food of deceased people and remembers their deceased family. Carmen also said that the Day of the Dead should be celebrated in the United States, so we can remember friends and family members who have died in our family. The current president of Mexico Enrique Pena Nieto. He has been in office since 1 December 2012. He was appointed by the Federal Electoral Court. The current term of office in Mexico is six years and is not renewable. General elections were held in Mexico on July 1, 2018. Voters elected a new president of Mexico who will serve a term of 5 years and ten months. Carmen's favorite president was Cardenas. He was president of Mexico from 1934 to 1940. The reason Carmen says this president was her favorite because he distributed land, made loans to farmers, organized confederations of workers and peasants, and expropriated and nationalized foreign-owned industries. Diabetes is the leading cause of death in Mexico. Diabetes claims nearly 80,000 lives each year and is expected to worsen in the decades to come. Diabetes costs the Mexican healthcare system billions of dollars every year. Mexicans wear all kinds of clothes, mostly it's jeans and t-shirts, the same is in the US. When meeting a person for the first time, Mexicans greet each other with a kiss, but some prefer to simply shake hands. But when they greet people they already know, a kiss and even a hug is normal. In Mexico their families are a very close-knit community. Carmen says she and her family are very close and are great people. Carmen hung out with her friends in her free time in Mexico. Education in Mexico for public schools is currently regulated by the Secretariat of Education. Religious practice is prohibited in public schools. But it can betaught in private schools but cannot receive public funds. There are many different types of groups in schools in Mexico, Carmen says there are the popular kid and the unpopular kid. Just like schools in the United States. Carmen belonged to the normal school group. One of the risks that the Mexican economy faces is that they have too much inflation. Carmen recently noticed the exchange rate between the peso and the US dollar. The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Mexican peso is between 17.06 and 19.46. Carmen says it's easy to find work in Mexico. The employment rate in Mexico averages 95.69. The unemployment rate in Mexico is around 3.5%. Carmen says that only part-time work is available in Mexico. The reason is that in Mexico working only part time is less convenient for companies. The average employee in Mexico is paid 70.1 pesos, or just $4.35 per day. The largest industry in Mexico would be the automotive companies. Mexico is the third largest automobile producing nation in the world. Some sectors of Mexico are improving, but others are not in the state of Carmen. Carmen said different parts of Mexico pay better than others. Mexico City had better paying jobs than other sectors. In Mexico City the average monthly earnings are 13,239 pesos; or $834 in US dollars. The most interesting thing about Carmen's culture is that Mexico is made up of different ethnic groups. But most ethnic groups have the same values. The family is one of the most important elements in Mexican society. Carmen likes her culture best about how they celebrate the Day of the Dead. His grandmother cooks the favorite food of the dead and prays for them. One thing Carmen says that would surprise me if I visited her country is the beautiful view Mexico has. Veracruz is just an hour from the beach and two hours from the mountains. Mexico is very nice, says Carmen. Mexico has many natural resources such as waterfalls and lakes. Most Mexican farmers grow coffee beans and avocados. Coffee bean production is the eighth largest in Mexico. In Mexico, avocados are the largest producing crop. Mexico supplies approximately 45% of the international avocado on the market. The foods exported from Carmen's country would be avocados. The main industrial product from Mexico is wood. One of the biggest difficulties for Mexican farmers would be the lack of support from the Mexican government. Mexico mainly imports corn from the United States. They also import apples and peaches. Farmers get their natural resources from waterfalls, beaches and lakes and have many water resources for farmers in Mexico. The fruits we mainly get from Mexico are oranges, lemons, limes, mangoes. Some farmers own their farmland, but sometimes the government owns the framers' land. In most cases, farmers have to share their profits with the government. Mexico has aquifers, they are in Mexico City and Monterrey. Aquifers provide about a third of all water for agriculture and livestock. The largest city in Mexico is Mexico City. Mexico City has 1.7 million inhabitants. The main geographical feature of Mexico would be the central plateau. This mountain runs along both Mexico's Pacific and Gulf Coast. Carmen says that along the east coast from the state of Tamaulipas to the state of Veracruz are the tropical lowlands of Mexico. Carmen says Mexico's landscape includes tropical rainforests, deserts and sea beaches, and much of the country is covered by high tables and mountains. In conclusion, Carmen is from Veracruz, Mexico. She came.
