\u00a0\u00a0Me emocion\u00f3 mucho la idea de ir a conocer la escuela y sobre todo, el Jard\u00edn por la Paz. Ese lugar me lo imagin\u00e9 durante mucho tiempo y no pod\u00eda creer que por fin estar\u00eda en ese hermoso espacio. Cuando estuve en el Jard\u00edn fue maravilloso, hasta derrame unas cuantas l\u00e1grimas de felicidad. Un sue\u00f1o se hab\u00eda cumplido y el estar all\u00ed en una fecha tan importante para las personas de Dawson, hizo que el hecho fuera m\u00e1gico. Se conmemoraron diez a\u00f1os de la muerte de Anastasia Rebecca De Sousa estudiante del College que murio a causa de un acto de violencia. Hubo una hermosa ceremonia, llena de mucho amor. Nos invitaron a participar en el cierre liberando unas mariposas Monarcas<\/a>, cosa que nunca en mi vida hab\u00eda hecho. La emoci\u00f3n en mi ser estaba a flor de piel. Me puse a pensar en que el hecho de esta conmemoraci\u00f3n significaba una gran tristeza, pero al mismo tiempo me sent\u00eda feliz y agradecida ya que gracias a ella yo pude conocer Canad\u00e1 pero sobre todo, tener un v\u00ednculo de amor con las acciones que se desarrollaron en Dawson College a partir de su muerte. Lamentablemente, a veces necesitamos que sucedan tragedias para desatar cosas maravillosas como ese hermoso Jard\u00edn por la Paz. Se perdi\u00f3 una vida, pero muchas otras, como la m\u00eda, cambiaron y tambi\u00e9n miles de animales, flores y plantas, hoy pueden habitar en este hermoso Jard\u00edn haci\u00e9ndolo m\u00e1gico e inolvidable.<\/p>\nEn verdad, desde que llegas al Jard\u00edn, t\u00fa alma se llena de tranquilidad pero sobretodo de paz y felicidad al saber que despu\u00e9s ![\"Picture2\"](\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/sustainable-campuses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/148\/Picture2.png\")
de una tragedia se realiz\u00f3 un espacio que m\u00e1s que paz, promueve amor. Estoy agradecida con todas las personas que permitieron que estuviera en el jard\u00edn, conocer su historia y convivir con la diversidad de especies vivas que lo habitan. Vali\u00f3 la pena esperar cuatro a\u00f1os para ver cumplido mi sue\u00f1o: Conocer el Dawson College y estar en el Jard\u00edn por la Paz, especialmente el d\u00eda en que se conmemoraron diez a\u00f1os de su creaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

A Peace Garden<\/h4>\n

My name is Yessica Lizbeth Vergara. I studied a degree in Special Education at the National Pedagogical University in Cuernavaca, Morelos. During my studies I participated in a project called Sustainable Campuses: Sharing Our knowledge. From the beginning I loved the way of working of all the people from Mexico and Canada that were involved. From the beginning there was a possibility of visiting Canada and of meeting some of the projects at Dawson College. To me, this possibility was exciting and the more I learned about the projects the more excited I got about the idea that someday I could visit this school. Years passed, I finished my career and I did not have the chance to go but what I learned from this project marked my life. Fortunately, in August 2016 I was invited to participate in a symposium for Peace held at Dawson College.<\/p>\n

I spent a lot of time imagining this place and could not believe that finally I would be there. When I was in the Garden it was wonderful. I shed a few tears of happiness. A dream had come true and to be there at such an important time for the Dawson community made it magical. A commemoration of ten years after the death of Anastasia Rebecca De Sousa. a College student who died because of an act of violence. There was a beautiful ceremony, full of love. We were invited to participate in the closing releasing some Monarch butterflies<\/a>, which I had never done in my life. I was very excited. I began to think that the fact of this commemoration meant a great sadness, but at the same time I felt happy and grateful because thanks to it I was able to visit Canada but above all, have a bond of love with the actions that took place at Dawson College after her death. Unfortunately, sometimes we need to live a tragedy for wonderful things like this beautiful Garden for Peace to emerge. A life was lost, but many others, like mine was changed, like that of thousands of animals, flowers and plants today that can live in this beautiful garden making it magical and unforgettable.<\/p>\nIndeed, since you get to the garden, your soul is filled with tranquility but above all peace and happiness as you learn that after a tragedy a space to promote peace and love emerged. I am grateful to all the people who allowed for me to visit the garden, to know its history and see the diversity of living species that inhabit it. It was worth waiting four years to see my dream fulfilled: To know the Dawson College and to be in Peace Garden, especially the day that commemorated ten years of its creation.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
