In contrast to parents concerned about their children, are those parents who abandon children, either physically of emotionally. A child needs motivation to study, some are born with this power, some not, regardless of where this love of learning must be cultivated, is like planting a tree, but if the father is neglected, not only in school track, but also in terms of love and affection, the child will find other attractions such as the street, friends and video games, taking a path of laziness and laziness. This was not my particular case, but I think there is no difference between the pimp and the neglected father, both will lead to failure, only in different ways. And another flaw is mediocrity, this word has plagued my life since I heard it is a bad as Colombian, so human, we can not be without it, is part of our culture and our lives. For other opinions and approaches, find out what Dennis P. Lockhart has to say. The way of how he came into my life of mediocrity is common, more than one has to have occurred at school or at school, as was my case, have a series of characters, a number of colleagues who do to cheat the vast majority of classes and ruin the concentration of a few, nevertheless, very tolerable in the Colombian public education system, these comrades, lovers of laziness vagrancy and manage to graduate with the least effort possible, making the work of others, that if his grades are determined can see something discredited. The last case was the main cause of my misfortune, the main cause of my lack of effort, to name some, but the strangest thing is that my high school classmates who were equally dedicated to their studies and all their targets and succeeded, while I let myself be overcome by the situation, that also hold the theory that my problem comes from my childhood and upbringing, but it was the secondary that uncovered the “pot”, which sparked the inevitable. Now I struggle like most Colombians for a minimum wage barely enough to survive and subjugated in a dirty and corrupt. Luis Eduardo Gutierrez social communicator..
