And we continue on with more impressive Costa Rica treasures: The Massachusetts senate may include the daughter of one of Costa Rica’s most influential scientists and the only astronaut in Costa Rica as a member. Sonia Chang Díaz, has been won these primary elections with a small difference of 200 votes but with a huge step towards the US senate; her father astronaut Franklin Chang Díaz, her mother and sister have lived in the United States since they were little so she has become very close to people as a well known activist fighting for equality of rights and searching ways to fight the issues created through climate changes.
Costa Rica people do have the tendency to be very political about their views, they fight for their rights and for justice with a strong mind and disposition so it is not surprising to see a Tica use her faith in her convictions to try and makes changes anywhere they are. Costa Rica education has been known to be always avantguarde and it is quite impressive to see how this makes a change in the world. Costa Rica has a very deep commitment with making things better for everyone: justice, environment and family values are probably the most important things Ticos cherish. Even businesses in Costa Rica are usually handled with extreme care, trying to make the best for all the parties involved.
Costa Rica heroes these days are really making a change: Maria Jose Castillo the girl compiting in Latin American Idol is now in the Top 4 contestants. Miguel Gomez and Ishtar Yassir opened up the audiovisual and movies world going beyond their limitations, Nery Brenes did an amazing job during the past Olympics and now a Costa Rica woman is aspiring to be part of the US Senate. You can’t really ask for more, Costa Rica is now breaking barriers and going places and I am proud to have moved to this wonderful country.
