Remi CP #4

Monday October 3rd I met with John. We had a decent amount to talk about since I had not seen him for two weeks. He shared with me his experience at the FSU engineer fair where he interacted with many students and companies. He currently has a master’s in Metallurgical engineering and is a part of the Latin American Engineering society who had asked him to participate. He is also making strides to make it easier to work in the united states by getting U.S. paper work that shows his degree is equivalent to one here. We then spoke about the recent vote in Colombia (his home country) where the people rejected the peace treaty proposed by the government and FARC. He explained his point of view that the people want peace but that the treaty would not have held the FARC criminals accountable. They would be forgiven for killing thousands of people and not questioned about any of the drug trafficking they had participated in. John's explanation made me realize that the people were correct in rejecting this peace deal. The crimes of this organization, particularly on this level cannot be erased.
