Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are made in Mexico by the Industrial Reyes S.A. de C.V. and were founded by Cleto Reyes himself.

In 1965 these boxing gloves began to be distributed to the major markets in the United States as well as some other countries around the world. In 1970 Cleto’s son, Alberto Reyes, joined the operation and then in 1975 decided to register the trademark Cleto Reyes.

Saint José Ramón Agustín Pro Juárez, also known as Saint Miguel Pro, was born on January 13, 1891, in Guadalupe, Mexico. He was one of eleven children, the oldest boy. Sadly, four of his siblings died as babies or young children. From an early age, he was heartily spiritual, as well as mischievous; he constantly entertained his family with his humor and practical jokes. St. Miguel was a dauntless child and sometimes took his pranks and fun too far, putting him in several near-death mishaps. The third oldest in his family, St. Miguel was unquestionably very close with his older sister. After she entered a convent at age 20, he started to recognize his own calling to the priesthood. Though his father wanted him to continue with the family business, Miguel lived for God and entered the Jesuit novitiate in El Llano, Michoacán in 1911. He had been studying with the Jesuit priests for only a year when a religious revolution broke out in Mexico and by 1914, the Jesuits were forced to flee the country.…
Sor Juana pushes on, stating that she could not possibly begin to express her thanks for this oh-so thoughtful response from her fellow sister and mentions that while women have never been afforded greater schooling or considered worthy of reading texts like Genesis or the Song of Solomon seeing as it would be in direct conflict with every aspect of her sex and opposed to her ability to read or write.

She says all of this, agreeing that she is without credit for any knowledge that she possesses because, like all women at the time, she has never been afforded the right to learn all that she pleases through legislation, yet she possesses all of this knowledge anyways, but why? Why does Sor Juana know anything about science or philosophy or God for that matter? Why do you have any women?…

Research indicates that Latina/o students’ college choices create HSIs, and Latina/o students may be actively avoiding more selective and prestigious schools due to financial concerns and instead choose HSIs due to their proximity to their home (Santiago, 2007). Furthermore, authors argue that HSIs are designated based on their geographic proximity to Latina/o populations, and often are not intrinsically prepared to provide culturally responsive environments for Latina/o students (Hubbard & Stage, 2009; Perrakis & Hagedorn, 2010).…
On May 16, 2017 I Interviewed Manuel Plasencia about what it means to be American to him. According to Manuel, Dental Assistant, he feels like he sometimes has equal rights in America, because at time he is entitled to entitlement and at times not because the predicate society. He strongly feels like he would want to change the National Financial Program, because he gets money taken away, which in his point of view is wrong. Manuel has come to realize if he had the chance to leave America he would leave, he would go to Germany. It is more liberal and progressive there. He has had Financial Help from his Family, which has made his life in America less complicated throughout these years. If Manuel could change any law it would be the regressive tax law.…
