This is not about potential or encouragement. There are also some things you should not encourage people to do. Such as jump from tall buildings, swim with sharks, perform self-neurosurgery, or continue to walk an unknown path in darkness.
This is about students needing to make informed choices for themselves, and the admin not addressing this matter with students, and witholding information from students. Students who might benefit by staying, will be leaving (and have) because they have to make a decision based on what they DO know. Likewise, students that would benefit from leaving could exhaust funds (or themselves) before ever being a doctor.
Studying medicine in Mexico has many advantages. This is a fact. The UAG was the exclusive bridge for Americans to study in Mexico and become doctors in the USA. However, this is not the case today. Today, we do not know what UAG is, nor do we know what it will be. Knowing the small changes that the UAG is UNWILLING to do to make the school a much better place for us, not many are confident in its ability to resolve the bigger problem.
Make the best of what being here offers. However, I cannot defend the mute mule, and encourage anyone to stay or leave. Do what is best for you.

I just wanna encourage everyone to do their best, really study for this week's test, and don't give up! Never underestimate YOUR own Potential. Remember why you came here: if medicine is your destiny, truly the one who can keep you from your goal is NOT the AMA nor the UAG politics... but YOURSELF!
Yeah, studying in Mexico's not the easiest  and we ALL knew this or at least had an idea before coming here, so congratualations! Your willing to do what it takes...the decison was the start, now DO what you came here TO DO: Proceed... to SUCCEED! 
...on your side, RL. |
