First of all, Morelia has a different rhythm of life and environment than Cortijo Nuevo. In fact, Morelia is a great place to live it has a lot of historical places. Morelia is a big City, which means that it is very populated. Every time I went there was a lot people walking in "El centro" (downtown).

Morelia has a prestigious University called Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo and I was planning to attend there if I had graduated from high school there. However, in Cortijo Nuevo there are a few chances to get a career because some parents do not have money to send their children to a high school or University. In Cortijo Nuevo there is only one Elementary School called Escuela primaria Nicolas Bravo, and there are less than 25 students per grade. Usually the same students go to Telesecundaria Jose Maria Luis Mora (middle school) for three years after they graduated from elementary school.

I was lucky because I would enrolled into Preparatoria Emiliano Zapata (high school) for one semester only. The tuition was of $400.00 pesos per month. There is not University in Cortijo Nuevo so the students have to go to Zacapu, Morelia, Arteaga to mention

Moving from a small town in Oklahoma to a larger city in Texas, I never would have imagined how much of a culture shock I would experience.

All my life I have been on the move from one city to another living no more than three years in each. And each brought me unique experiences, that when people ask “well which do you like best?” I could not possibly decide, as you cannot compare a city with one another for each was during a different time in my life and in different circumstances.

A city is a good place to continue the further education and to find a suitable job. A city can provide government facilities to its people which makes easy to sustain the life and to perform the task.
