The Joys Of Nicaragua
Nicaragua.

Its been two months that I have called this place home. I have already had a variety of opportunities to explore and celebrate this country. From their independence day, to camping in a canyon in the north of the country(including the traditional Nicaraguan scary stories around the campfire!). These are just some of the joys of the last few months.

    Enter Pedro De Alvarado: A Spanish Colony In 1523, Guatemala

    Conquered as a Spanish colony in 1523, Guatemala has been continuously subjected to great adversity. In discussing the colonial experience of this Latin-American nation, it must be known what kind of state it was in at the time it was overcome. From what scientists and historians have gathered, the ancient Maya were the first to settle on the land. They were well developed, advanced, and exceptionally skilled. However, in 1524, their control would be challenged and the course of the land forever changed. Enter Pedro de Alvarado, a Spanish conquistador with a proficient past. Arriving in Guatemala with 120 horsemen, 300 soldiers, and several hundred Mexican auxiliaries, Alvarado began to explore. His expedition met great resistance with a large…

    The Sandinistas: Guerilla Warfare In Nicaragua

    When the Sandinistas’ first started to rise to power, those opposing begun to engage in violent actions. The United States is backing this opposing group by supplying them with weapons and other necessities for this fight. Currently in Nicaragua, these same anti-communist groups have begun to flee in efforts to escape the rule of the Sadanista’s. It is rumored that the groups are forming what are known as guerilla units. Guerilla warfare is fought in “fast-moving, small-scale actions.” The rebels and their supporters are trudging into southern Honduras.

    It's a bittersweet feeling leaving a country that for the past week has welcomed me with open arms.

    Personal Narrative: My Medical Trip To Nicaragua

    Never have I woken up faster than getting a phone call at 1am saying, “I need you STAT to H4104!” Racing from the call room to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, I had a million thoughts running through my head. Why is the RN calling me STAT? Is the patient coding? Is the intra-aortic balloon pump I am responsible for not functioning? When I arrive, the patient’s pressures were spiraling downward and the surgeon said he must go back down for surgery. Adrenaline pumping through my veins, I realized this was not an emergency simulation I had been taught – this was real. As soon as we reach the OR, the patient went asystole. Immediately, anesthesia started injecting medications, the OR staff lined up to do compressions and I managed the balloon pump; we…

    US Involvement In Nicaragua Essay

    The United States had been involved with Nicaragua since 1850. They had been walking over them and the Nicaraguans didn’t seem to respond. In 1907 U.S. war ships took control of the Fonseca Gulf. In 1909, the Nicaraguan Nationalist Government finally decided to take a stand against the control. The government shot two of the U.S. mercenaries, but it only made matters worse for them. The United States decided to get more involved in Nicaraguan affairs, and in 1910 they forced a “puppet government” upon Nicaragua. After many years of this, Nicaragua became dependent on the United States. For example, in 1912 the Nicaraguan President requested U.S. military assistance to help control a civil war. The United States built a canal across Nicaraguan territory, leased the Great and Little Corn Islands, and established a naval base in the Gulf of Fonseca in exchange for three million dollars. In 1914 the Bryan-Chamorro Treaty was signed, and it evokes “anti-North American sentiment and guerrilla warfare in Nicaragua, and elicit[ed] protest from other Central American countries.” Augusto…

    Nicaragua Research Papers

    Let me describe Nicaragua. Tall, silver buildings , people scurrying on the sidewalk, giant green palm trees, tropical breezes, and even a cool gust on a hot hot summer day. Nicaragua is the place to be. But that’s only what the capital is like. The rest is poor cities. Nicaragua’s main oceans are the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and they have a lake named after them. Since its such a big country, it has three climates. The Pacific Region, Central Highlands, and the Caribbean Region, which I’ll explain later. “Violence has been Nicaragua’s most important export to the world.” -Ronald Reagan, or, the Spanish version, which Nicaraguans would be able to read,”La violencia ha sido la exportación más importante de Nicaragua al mundo” -Ronald Reagan (no date shown). Now, you want to learn more? Continue reading. You will read about geography, climate, government, economy, culture, and find out some interesting facts.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life In Nicaragua

    The line sounded rehearsed, as if he had spoken these words multiple times a day for many years. His glossy brown eyes penetrated my startled blue ones for as long as I let them until I turned away. His dirtied innocent face was one that came straight out of a UNICEF commercial, the sort that caught you off guard during a commercial break of your favorite TV show. Wistful faces of impoverished children flick before your eyes as a concerned voice insists that if you donate your unused pocket change every month, you could support the life of this poor boy.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life In Panama

    Imagine starting a race twenty minutes after the other participant, this gives them a head start hence lowering your chances to vanquish your opponents in the race. This example applies to real-life issues like the people born in high and stable economic situations. Their probability to succeed in life is higher than those indigenous from third-world countries. Panama faces this problem and I have no doubt a change can be achieved and I can be the one who does it because everyone deserves the chance to succeed if they try hard. During last year, I had the chance to be elected as coach and teach a group of teenage boys, the fundamentals of soccer; what I did not realize was that this experience was going to change me completely.…

    I would like to say I know Spanish, after four years of studying in high school and multiple trips to South and Central America, yet it seems every time I leave the States, I find myself in a frantic struggle to process the words I know and figure out the meanings of the ones I do not. Sometimes this simply means missing out on a few insignificant details, other times it can seriously complicate life.…

    Mexican Daily Life

    There are a variety of common courtesies that Americans should observe when in Mexico. Some of the important issues of cultural etiquette are described herein. When in Mexico Americans should refrain from calling themselves "Americans." Mexicans consider themselves Americans too since the whole continent is called America. Another part of Mexican culture that may be shocking to American's traveling there is the way machismo is verbalized by male members of Mexican society. Making sexual or derogatory remarks at women is a typical part of the culture and should not be seen as harassment. Wearing a wedding band and mentioning children usually will stop these types of comments. Attempting to speak Spanish even if your Spanish is not good is appreciated. When speaking in English slang and idioms should be avoided. Using broken English does not aid communication and can be seen as offensive. Many Mexicans speak English but many more read English. If possible, a written copy of what you are saying should be provided. Mexicans do not often say no because it is considered impolite. Consequently, it is important that you recognize this and look for other clues as to what the real answer is. If a Mexican says maybe it is a good indicator that the answer is definitely no. Asking for a yes or no response to a specific question repeatedly is tolerated but you must be patient because it will take a while before the real answer comes out. People stand much closer to each other in Mexico. It is considered unfriendly to back up when a Mexican approaches you in conversation. You must be aware of the tone of voice you use when in Mexico. Using a quick pace or a sharp or forceful tone will make you come across unfavorably. Eye contact is not as direct or long as in the United States. Mexicans are status conscientious so what you wear or what you drive makes a clear statement about who you are in society. When attending a social event you should arrive 30 minutes late.…

    Descriptive Essay About Panama City

    It was really to hear from you! I was living in Colombia last year and needed to leave the country to renew my visa, so I decided to spend a week in Panama City. I really enjoyed it and the mall was really amazing! The food was really good as well. It was last December/January that I was there so the weather wasn’t to bad, and I was already used to the humidity having lived several months in Barranquilla. The people were so nice and I wish I could of just stayed longer. Are you from Panamá? Are you living in Panama City? ¿Hablas español?…
