My departure from Mexico coincided more or less with the end of the school year in Mexico. Alejandro's nephew just completed the first grade. The Monday before I left, I was invited to join Alejandro and his family at the ceremony held by the school.
The event was held at a nearby theater. It began with an elaborate presentation of the Mexican flag and the singing of the national anthem. (I couldn't join in the singing since all I know of the lyrics is the first line... "Mexicanos al grito de guerra".)
Each grade presented a dance performance.
In between the dances, certificates were presented to outstanding students. Alejandro's nephew is a very bright, little boy. He received awards for Spanish, mathematics and English!
I felt very honored to share this occasion with the family!
