U.S. teenagers, living in Tijuana, cross the border daily to attend school

Check out this link from the New York Times to learn about a different side of Tijuana. So often we only hear about the drug war and violence, but there are thousands more living in Mexico and in Tijuana who are just like us. They go to school, go to their job and try to support their family. Next time you complain about going to class, remember how determined these teenagers are to get a good education, and how lucky we are to have the opportunity to get a college education.
