    Gregorio Cortez Journey

    Gregorio Cortez was born on a ranch on June 22, 1875 between Reynosa and Matamoros on the Mexican side of the river. He then relocated to Manor, Texas and a couple of years later he began working in a farm in Karnes and Gonzales counties. As we can see Gregorio Cortez is an ordinary man in an “ordinary world” just trying to survive and have a decent life. His “call to adventure” came when Sheriff Morris questioned Mexicans about a stolen horse, thus Gregorio was approached and questioned about the situation. Everything was going smoothly until the interpreter misunderstood Gregorio’s reply by failing to identify that in Mexican Culture there is a distinction between a horse (caballo) and mare (yegua). Gregorio said he never traded a horse…

    Enduring Strength In Tracy Kidder's 'What Remains'

    Our circumstances are often not ours by choice, but how we respond to our circumstances is our choice. Deo did not choose to be born in Burundi nor did he choose to live in a place that would erupt in incredible violence. He did, however, choose to survive. He chose to run, hide in the forest, work for unfair wages, and chose to survive. It was also more than choice. It was a fight and it was not easy. “Moments were the only time he knew,” Kidder writes. “He spent nearly every moment worrying about the next. Six months felt like a minute, and moments when it felt like there was no time in front of him felt like an eternity.” (Kidder, 2009) Deo beheld horrific sights as he fled for his life. Dismembered bodies, an infant with a dead mother, and entire villages…
