San Salvador is the capital of El Salvador. The people in San Salvador are generally friendly, though as in any large city, less inclined to engage in conversation with strangers on the street as compared to other parts of the country. In San Salvador there are nearly 2 million people. It is home to one-third of El Salvador’s population and one-half of the country’s wealth.

 

San Salvador has many beautiful monuments, and some of them date back to the early 20th Century, while others are more modern. Some of the most important monuments include the National Palace, Plaza Gerardo Barrios, Plaza la Libertad, etc.

One of the most recognized in El Salvador is the Monumento al Divino Salvador del Mundo, or “Monument of the Savior of the World”. The Savior is San Salvador Patron Saint is celebrated with massive festivities during the first full week of August every day.

In the first week of August we celebrated the Divine Savior of the World, eating a lot of food, throwing fireworks and carrying in a large cradle the baby Jesus from the church to a few streets.

Mitch Lucker was born on October 20th, 1984. He was vocalist for the extreme metal band Suicide Silence and worked with Big Chocolate on the electro band Commissioner. He suffered from a motorcycle accident during late October, and died on the morning of November 1st. 

He was an amazing man who is greatly missed, and he was the lead singer of the band. He had an amazing talent, singing. He is an inspiration.

Mitch has a daughter named Kenadee, and his wife’s name is Jodie. No one really knew this but Mitch was a alcoholic, which means he had a drinking problem.

I choose this person because for me, he was my inspiration since I was 6 years old. When I heard his music for the first time, I loved it and there was born my love for Rock music, he never gave up and was a great example for many people, he is my idol, my inspiration.

He said in one of his songs: “You only live a life, for a very short time, so make every second divine.”  He wanted to imply that you don’t let anyone stop you, you have to make your dreams and goals come true. Don’t give up.
