Guatemala Sucks!

So, my fiance has been studying law in Guatemala for almost two years now. He finished with all of the courses, and has been preparing for the tests. Down there they have to take two big tests, before they can do their final thesis, and then comes graduation.

These tests are brutal! They put you in a room with three people in charge of testing you. These three people can ask you questions for three hours; any question they want concerning that area of law. They don't have to follow quidelines or rules, they just have to ask you questions. When the three hours are up, they send you out of the room and you wait for them to make their decision. After ten or fifteen minutes, they tell you whether or not you passed. This is the second time that he has taken the test, and he didn't pass, with a 5.9 out of 6.o.

They make you suffer through this awful process, and you really don't know why they didn't pass you. They may not have liked your clothes or your style of speech. Maybe you didn't smile enough or you smiled too much. They just tell you whether or not you passed. They sometimes treat you like a human being, but more often than not, they treat you terribly. And they expect you to just be okay with it and keep studying so you can take it again; or drop out. They don't want you to succeed, becuase they think that you will take their jobs. It's really unfair...

So, I worry about him. I hope that he is okay and that he will not be too disappointed in himself. I hope that he will have the spirit of the Lord with him so that he can make the right decisions for his life. He is such a good person and has worked so hard to succeed. And all I can do is pray for him.

So, really, Guatemala Sucks!!!
