There is no doubt that the Maya people have been subjected to a hard and painful life just in the last thirty years. As stated in the Maya Today website about the daily struggle to live, work, and raise a family with the consent threat of death squads, drug load, war loads, and government.
Rigoberta Menchu stated in her speech that this current time according to the Maya calendar is the “no time”. This time is filled with a high suicide rate for young people and an environment of negativity rather then a positive feeling.
To continue from my VT, I believe that many different people in the world are in similar situations as the Maya people today. Some people could look at this as reason to quite or not try. But I think that challenges like these only create opportunities and those opportunities lead to success for those who put forth the effort. So despite the challenges that these people are facing this is the time for a leader to rise up and help his people create a better life
