Alejandro Velasco Paredes, a pochutleco who has excelled in other states of the country.
A couple of years ago he returned to enjoy the cradle where he was born: San Pedro Pochutla, telling us that now he has a great opportunity to enjoy himself with his family: after having practiced professionally outside of Oaxaca, having a vision upon his return different, after so many experiences and having lived with other cultures, he tells us: “Everything adds up, everything helps to visualize my land with different eyes, feeling totally proud of my roots, of the essence of this place on the Coast, where I was born. and I grew up." Here we describe the trajectory of this Oaxacan specimen:
Graduated from the law school, the REU University of Pochutla, he has been successful collaborating in different important positions, which shows that the desire to get ahead, plus talent, dedication, a high sense of responsibility and commitment, have as much power, as to fill vacancies, in which you can compete with graduates of highly prestigious institutions, everything is a matter of self-confidence, security and desire to succeed in life.
With a deep love for his native land of Pochutla, Alejandro Velasco Paredes tells us how, in order to gain more experience, he had to leave the comfort of working close to home and separate from his family, living with his wife and children, some weekends, long weekends and vacations, since he looked for opportunities to collaborate in positions in official institutions, which allowed him to warm up, to make correct decisions, guided both by the knowledge acquired in his professional training, but also by letting himself be guided by those who occupied hierarchical levels, but above all for having the will to achieve continuous improvement, since he had to support his family, in addition to demonstrating that with dedication and commitment, more training, the goals and projects that one envisions are achieved.
It is thus that based on his personality of being serious, responsible and very dedicated, without making excuses in exhausting schedules many times, he always inspired confidence, thus earning them credibility in him, which is often so difficult to achieve, but rather It is based on the facts and that is how he gambled everything for everything and went to settle and work in the State of Chiapas, where he demonstrated that the decision to integrate him into the work team in the state government was correct, where Once the basics of public administration were mastered, he, in turn, provided training on this subject to municipal authorities, state authorities and public servants, which is so necessary to achieve efficiency; precisely the quality of service that we all expect, that is provided to us, also with efficiency and courtesy.
Another great experience was collaborating at a high government level in Baja California, due to the geographical situation of this State of the country, as it borders the United States and because it is one of the busiest border areas in the world and has many problems. It was these elements that allowed him to learn how to solve various situations, since he had the great opportunity to hold a very important position, in the General Secretariat of Government, as Private Secretary of the Head of that government entity, being here a place of great learning in political and administrative issues, being the issues of governance, of great importance in a State, to have stability and development, especially this State that occupies a very important place, in our country, for having very special characteristics.
Among his functions, he also helped to manage permits and provide facilities to important film and TV productions, basically from the United States film industry.
Another highly relevant position in the career of Alejandro Velasco Paredes, also in BC, was having the Directorate of the Institute for Vehicular Identity and Combating Pollution, where he had a great achievement, which was being able to carry out a program at State level, with which chocolate cars began to be regularized (which come from the US in a more informal way, also known as "chocolates"), which is one of the biggest problems on the northern border. This program consists of the regularization in which citizens are granted a document with which they prove their property, having as another beneficial effect combating issues of corruption, robbery, kidnapping, everything that was lent to commit crimes , before the operation of this program.
Alejandro Velasco Paredes is still very young, with great energy and a lot of knowledge to share. From this space we wish him that he achieves everything he sets out to achieve, for being a good person and always giving the best to everyone around him.
Alejandro tells us his gratitude to life, for having the opportunity to enjoy next to his family, made up of his wife and children, it is very pleasant for him to go to the beach with his loved ones, have a coffee in San Pedro Cafetitlán , as well as enjoying all the beautiful places that San Pedro Pochutla has, where he enjoys great happiness at every moment and every day, recommending to all students that they put a lot of enthusiasm into their studies and they will go far.
