    Rodriguez describes himself as a “Scholarship Boy,” obsessed with school and education, and ultimately losing himself as a person. In losing himself as a person he also lost connection with family and a social life. Rodriguez faces a huge tension within his family, which was his view of his parents and teachers. Most normal kids would idolize their parents and aspire to be like them when they grow older. That was not the case for Rodriguez. He was ashamed of his parents and embarrassed of how uneducated they were. Rodriguez describes in the essay his views of his parents through his metaphorical self, “The Scholarship Boy.” He states, “He cannot afford to admire his parents. He permits himself embarrassment at their lack of education.” Rodriguez instead focuses all his adoration and idolization on his teachers, aspiring to be like them and even telling his mother that he planned to become a teacher some day. He describes how he feels about his teachers stating, “I wanted to be like my teachers, to possess their knowledge, to assume their authority, their confidence, even to assume a teacher’s persona.” Rodriguez’s feelings about his parents and teachers contrast with one another. The people that should have a huge impact on his life, his parents, have little to no positive impacts on him, only negative. Due to his disparity to never be like his parents and being ashamed of them, he puts focus into…

    Since declaring independence on 20 July 1810 and achieving it in 1819, Colombia has changed its name seven times. Regional cultural traditions are diverse, with a broad range of distinct groups that have unique customs, accents, social patterns, and cultural adaptations. These groups are classified into three cultures: those in the interior, the countryside, and the coastal regions. Only during elections, sporting events, and beauty pageants do the regional cultures unite for a common goal. Located in the northwestern part of South America, Columbia touches both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, bordering Ecuador and Peru on the south and Brazil and Venezuela on the east. Colombia's population is roughly 45 million, giving it the third highest population in Latin America after Brazil and Mexico, and the second highest Spanish-speaking population in the world after Mexico. The capital city Bogota has around 8 million inhabitants. Patriotic symbols represent the war of independence and the founding fathers. Francisco Miranda, a Venezuelan, designed the national flag in 1806. Adapting the red and yellow of the Spanish flag, Miranda divided the two colors by a stripe of blue to symbolize the ocean separating the independent country from the motherland. The upper half of the flag is yellow, symbolizing the natural riches of the country, while the lower half is divided into two equal parts of blue and red, with the red symbolizing the blood shed in the war for independence. The official language is Spanish, which was imposed during the colonial period. All Colombians speak it except some of the indigenous populations in the Amazonian basin. In major cities, English is used, particularly by the upper class, but it is not commonly understood or spoken. Outside urban areas, Spanish is virtually the only medium of communication. Colombia takes great care to preserve the linguistic "purity" of Castilian Spanish. Colombian Spanish is marked by the presence…
