TOGUE

A 500 years trip By: Charlie Culebro A magical place where history happened, Teotihuacan, located in the outside of Mexico city, is an archeological place with pyramids and temples that were the house of the Teotihuacan culture in the early 1400-1520 witch all the people of those times developed great advances and studies like astronomy and math and they wore penachos and typical clothes one of the biggest civilizations in America, before the Spain conquer Mexico.

On September 20th the students of Prepa TEC visited this wonderful ruins, in order to complement our learning of Mexican history, first of all we went the nearest pyramid which was really small and not interesting at all but far away we could see a gigantic pyramid with a lot of people in it, so we decided to go to the top, we walked a lot in order to be at the start of the stairs, we were exhausted when we reached the top but it totally worth it because we had an incredible view of all the ruins and to the houses that were outside, we took pictures and rest for a time on the top, then we got down of the pyramid and stay for a seconds down in the plaza, Then all the people who sell crafts and souvenirs start attacking us to bought their products so we bought some but they didn’t stopped trying to sell us things until we moved on to the other pyramid.

Next, a new challenge get on the top of the second pyramid wich was a bit higher than the other one, it was really tired because we already were exhausted of the first pyramid but we could reached it at the end, when the trip ended we went to a typical restaurant to eat and to talk about the trip, finally we went back to Leon on bus after having a tired but funny and amazing adventure in Teotihuacan.

Diana Isabel Zamudio Ruiz A00570510 Seminar article

Maybe when a lot of people hear this word, they think about a religious trip, well, that’s not true. The purpose of our generation seminar was to know more about each other, I mean maybe people who organized it try that finally we could all be friends, as a family.

Personally I think seminar has been one of the most beautiful chances to recognize things that we didn’t want to see before, or that maybe we just wanted to keep in secret.

The activities at the beginning were a little boring because of our attitude I think, but the day was just passing and things were turning funnier and funnier.

I had always thought that seminars were just a waste of time but right now I surely can say that I was wrong. Do you want to know why?

Well it’s a little long story, so the only thing that I can say is that I had wounds that I really needed to heal about a person who was and still being really important to me, that trip resulted the place where I could talk and said how I felt about it.

Things went so well that we are more than friends right know.

Sounds weird don’t you think?

I actually think that sometimes we have to take risks about things that we want to do, say or feel and most of the time we just don’t try because we are scared.

Seminar helped me a lot.

I can’t forget to talk about the food because for me, it was really tasty, and the best part was that we can served all the times that we wanted to.

But definitely the most beautiful part of this experience was the first day at night where one of the teachers that were with us started to read a letter as if he/she would be our father or mother while we had our eyes covered. I got really sensitive because the words were really true and I’m pretty sure that most of the students got identified.

After that happened, when we discovered our eyes we found a letter from our parents, in some cases from brothers or another members of the family, where our loved ones told us about the love that they felt for us, or how proud they were, I don’t know, each father had an especial thing to tell to their kids.

Everyone read their letters and tears came up in a really short time, I have to include myself there, also I needed like an entire paper roll for my nose.

Regrettably, we were the last generation that could enjoy this trip, that’s so bad because it would be really nice that the next generations could live this experience, maybe trips for them will be different but I hope that they can enjoy that as our generation enjoyed it.

INTERCAMPUS By: Luis Pablo Hernández A00570201 This event it’s very important, and then you ask yourself why this event is so important? Well let me explain a little about this. All Tecs have this tournament, that takes place each time in a different campus, is made one time by year, is organized by zones, like west zone or east zone, here is where all students of Tec of Monterrey that are athletes can demonstrate how good are individually and working as a team. In this event we can found different sports like, tennis, volleyball, soccer, basketball and swimming, obviously these sports are played by male and female and bye students of high school and university. But each school decide what sports are gone be participating.

Now I´m going to talk you about the last intercampus of the west zone, this time Tec Leon was lucky of being the host of the tournament, also I´m lucky of being part of this fantastic campus. I want to tell you that the school was a crazy place by the time we were all helping to organized and prepare all for all our visitors. Also all the teams had been preparing since summer to do the best they can in the

matches, it was an intense work, also in this part I want to tell you that I´m part of the soccer team.

The day everyone expected came, on Wednesday the tournament began, the classes weren´t suspended, all my friend and my teammates had classes and the school was fill with students from others campuses.

Now I want to focus on the soccer team of high school, in the first stage we play 4 matches, that were versus Irapuato, Zacatecas, Navojoa and Colima,

then we

pass to the semifinals, that was a great match, we played versus Guadalajara, we were motivate because we knew that was a strong team, we were very tired because the others 4 matches, but we leave the heart in the field, finally we win 41, that was a great moment, we were going to played the final versus San Luis.

I have a motto that says when the legs doesn´t run, let the heart do it, all the team were very tired, the match was really disputed, we were winning 2-0, we felt that we had already win, but no, the match ends when de referee whistle, missing 10 minutes, the other team score 2 goals, finally we went to “penales”, I´m proud to say that I was one of the ones that shoot and score, it is a moment that I can´t explain, I want to cry, shout, smile, there was when I felt the real feel of being a champion, all our friends celebrating with us, all that special persons where there. When we receive the trophy, we celebrate as if there´s no other day in all life, there all the members of the team where only one. It was awesome to see that entire people supporting us. Also I want to tell that the female team of volleyball also wins intercampus. That ´s why intercampus it´s so important, because it´s where you make real friendship, achievements, you meet other people amd Tecs continue together.

Jeraldine Gonzalez Blue Force The 2015 is going to be one of the best years for all the campus of the technologico of Monterrey, because we will be witness about the first national competition of this wonderful school, it will be held on October 2015, in the city of Monterrey, it’s expected around 4,400 athletes that are coming of 31 different campus all around the country, they are going to compete for the first national place, the sports that are participating are: • Athletics • Basketball • Soccer • Cheerleaders • Swimming • Tennis • Volleyball • Golf In our campus are about 300 athletes who are competing for a place in a team, here we can observe or appreciate sports like: swimming, soccer , volleyball, basketball and tennis. Also the teams of volleyball and soccer are going to the competition with the title of champions, where they are going to defend with all their straight and power. In my opinion our campus has big possibilities to get into the first 3 position of the table, because their abilities and all the training they had been containing during all the last year and the 2015 won't be the exception.

TOO SHORT Jeraldine!!!

Volleyball Team Daniela Ramirez

The volleyball team is done by many great girls that train a lot to be the champions.

In the past November they had won the intercampus championship, where they play really good. They are an amazing team, because all are friendly and really good girls, and also good players. Their coach helps them every day to become better players, so they can win all the games they have. Actually they are one of the best volleyball team, some of the players play in the “Seleccion de Guanajuato”. Volleyball is a really funny sport where you can have a great time.

I’m glad to be part of the team because it has helped me a lot to exercise myself and also to meet incredible girls who are more than simples sport’s partners for me.

There are times when we have lost important games, or when we just couldn’t give the result that we wanted to, but all of that times we have known how to keep looking forward, training really hard and waiting for the next game to make things better than before.

The players are: Joana Flores, Jeraldine Gonzales, Alexa Marquez, Maria Jose Camarena, Luisa Camarena, Julieta Mayorga, Sofía Morales, Delia Silva, Jessica Lopez, Daniela Ramirez, Fer Garcia. Is not necessary to include names!!!
