This past Tuesday, in the TCS auditorium two icons in Colombian politics, Maria Emma Mejia and Alberto Casas Santamaría spoke to the students and allowed them to have a conversatory.

Students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn all about this Colombian political figures. Students took advantage of this time, and asked very intricate questions that made Maria Emma and Alberto thinka and have a very fluid conversatory.

“People were engaged in the conversatory since they wanted to ask personal or very ample questions.” Martin Velasquez 12th grader who interviewed Maria Emma and Alberto.

Both Maria Emma and Alberto are very knowledgeable persons in very different fields since both had a political career and a publicist career. Students had a very ample chance of questions and answers since they could ask anything between politics and social media.

Students learned a lot about their personal opinions in controversial topics such as abortion, or political topics like JEP. Both had a very ample career that stumbled in different topics so it was easy for students to find something to learn from them.

“Their transition into media is something we can look up upon because they always strive for the truth and media such as radio is the way to publicly give the truth.” Pedro Gomez 10th grader said.

Many students look up to Alberto and Maria Emma. Students learned so much more than just politics. This conversatory was a way for students to get inspired and work on what they loved. It was a very inspirational talk.

As said before students found many things said in the converatory inspiring. It taught many things that were not said but they deduced as the learning experience.

Some deduced that as Colombians we need to be transparent with politics and that we can do that with publicity, or that politics can be something tolerable. This conversatory taught many things the students will cherish forever and that they will learn from.  

“Learned to that we can be tolerable politically and that is what we need as a Colombian society, and what the future of our country need.” Gomez said.

“One thing I learned was that opinions are as valuable from someone who has the experience of Alberto, as they are as valuable from someone as inexperienced as a student.” Juan Felipe Gaviria 11th grader said.
