Abstract

Education: important, yes; beneficial, extremely; yet for a people where a disproportionate and discriminatory rate of progress seems to prevail, educational opportunities are scarcely available. The people of Mexico five in a place where the rich seem to speedily move up the ladder of success, wealth, and consequently education, while the poor seem to be caught in a never-ending cycle from which only a few are able to escape. I have personally seen in my extended family, the results of limited opportunities due to limited education. That is precisely the reason why I decided to embark on a combined internship/field study in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico in the summer of 1995.
