Pocos pero Locos
Bienvenidos al reto.
No entiendo, estoy perdido, y no me respetan,
Me gritan, me insultan, me mandan, y me ignoran.
La Pinta, la Niña, y la Santa María,
Venimos con estrés,
Vivimos entre locos pero pocos,
Es un hecho, que al caso no lo vez.
Vivimos con historia,
Paciencia requerida para soportar,
Vivimos confundidos y perdidos,
Y ellos siguen sin respetar.
Ya estoy cansado de llevar rocas en el bolsillo,
Ya no soporto los gritos y los insultos,
No les gusta mi trabajo que se sienten a mi lado,
Mi gente es siempre firme,
Acaso no lo has notado.
Son clases poderosas,
Niños que quieren educar,
Pero en vez de dar clase,
Nos ayudan a sofocar.
Echarle ganas, y mejor que sobresalgas,
Si te vas no regresaras,
Todos somos como las estrellas fugases.
Nos quieren sacar los ojos,
Somos causa de su enojo.
Cero drogas, Cero compasión,
Pero al final hay mucha tentación.
Hace un año éramos desconocidos,
Este año somos reconocidos,
Nos perdimos entre gritos e insultos,
Pero nos hayamos entre los morados.
El secreto es que es una obra,
Que tiembla y tiembla.
Vivimos entre locos pero pocos,
Es un hecho, que si nos equivocamos
El poso no perdona.
Tiene precio.
Aunque suene tan sencillo,
Llevo todos los ladrillos,
Hasta que se cansen los niños,
Y de gritar los grillos.
Todo es como un tornillo,
Hipócritas
Buscan como humillar,
Pero al final todo es un amar.
Nos pisaron como ratas,
Son pocos pero locos,
Pero todos nos amamos.
No es tan fácil,
Aunque suene tan sencillo,
Pintare cada ladrillo,
De nuestro Castillo.
Mis talentos con ellos no están de sobra,
Nos unimos los mejores porque solo estos sobreviven,
Nada tememos, nos unimos, y lo dudo cabrones que nos deriven.
No entiendo, estoy perdido, y no me respetan,
Me gritan, me insultan, me mandan, y me ignoran.
La Pinta, la Niña, y la Santa María,
Venimos con estrés,
Vivimos entre locos pero pocos,
Es un hecho, que al caso no lo vez.
Vivimos con historia,
Paciencia requerida para soportar,
Vivimos confundidos y perdidos,
Y ellos siguen sin respetar.

Aunque suene tan sencillo,
Llevo todos los ladrillos,
Hasta que se cansen los niños,
Y de gritar los grillos.
Todo es como un tornillo,
Hipócritas
Buscan como humillar,
Pero al final todo es un amar.
Nos pisaron como ratas,
Son pocos pero locos,
Pero todos nos amamos.
No es tan fácil,
Aunque suene tan sencillo,
Pintare cada ladrillo,
De nuestro Castillo.
Mis talentos con ellos no están de sobra,
Nos unimos los mejores porque solo estos sobreviven,
Nada tememos, nos unimos, y lo dudo cabrones que nos deriven.

Who are you?
If you do not know who you are, anyone can name you. And if anyone can name you, you will answer to anything.

Teach for America vs Surgery for America.
To those individuals that are doing Teach for America (TFA),
Why didn't you do Surgery for America (SFA)?
The notion that TFA provides is that anyone can educate in our education system. I do not believe or agree that an individual can be train in a five-week intensive training program to be able to educate for a full academic school year, learn different teaching and lesson-plan models, methods, and techniques. One-on-one coaching and online support will not provide with the necessary tools to be the best of the best educator. Online lesson plans does not provide the needs of each student's learning needs. There is so much more that I can say about TFA ... I hope you get that idea of the harm that TFA can create to our education system and our children.
If anyone can be a teacher, why not allow and provide with the opportunity to individuals to go through a five-week or ten-week intensive training program, give one-on-one coaching, and online support to become a nurse or a doctor. Why not create SFA for everyone to join and help our communities by providing a better medical attention.
