This past week (November 14) the elections were held in my alma mater after 11 years without such participation of students to elect government and co-government.
Everything begins with the inscriptions of iron, it is fixed which movements go in "combo" each one moves his cards to the best one to him. For a long time I belong to a movement called SOY UC 57 many of which we are dissidents of the government and we do not share the same ideology of the student centers of the university (also opponents) ... The day of registering the number of the iron give us a bucket of cold water to all since the number 57 did not disable them is to say that it was null, it was not useful .... In a farrowing and singing of midnight cocks we changed name and number, this was who was born SOMOS UC 87.
Now came the good, the campaign. This campaign had to last 2 weeks that is 10 days. Search to get to the student and what problems had, listen to the guild and endless things ... In campaign we had to fight against many things from other movements, Chavistas told us, that the government wet our hands and even communist me They said to me (it's not a joke).
The day arrived, that day I had to be a member of the table (I was not on the iron for work reasons) I arrived at the university at 6:30 a.m. We gathered all the team, we talked about what the work plan was going to be and everything that Take a choice The table where I was opened at about 8:25 am and the electoral carnival began, the number of voters surprised me, the lines were long (of course, the student wanted to express himself and be heard through the vote after 11 years) at my table there was no problem and that was the most closed (we lost by 7 votes) at about 11:30 pm the results are given because if we achieve the goal we won 3 of the 5 schools that make life on campus and on all the Federation of University Centers (FCU).
That day many of us banked more than 14 hours in the university, that day the continuity, the mediocrity was defeated but above all the academy and UCism returned to the UC that for a long time was lost and had to reappear for the good of the Alma mater.
Thanks to everyone who helped us and worked at all this time, now comes the good. Work for a university of all and for all, remember that public universities is the reflection of the country. If we want a different nation we have to have a different university
