The following I hope can become a civilized dialog among some of the citizen and former citizens of Cheto. I know that we will probably have some flame wars on here but here goes. You know I come on this topix forum from time to time and it never ceases to amaze me how much trash, hate, lies, gossip, and etc is spewed on here. Rarely do we come on this board to offer any time of constructive criticism to help the state of the town or its citizen. Instead we have threads saying someone stole gas, a city official is sleeping around, we are b******g about the Mayor, and etc. I, like all of you have my flaws. I'm not perfect. I grew up in the small town known as Asherton,TX. I have and will always be proud to be a Trojan. I have many things I miss from back home that I know I will never be able to get back. What I don't miss is the gossip and hate we had for those that went on to do greater and better things. For those who strive to better their condition whatever it may be. I've recently made a couple of trips home and it sadden me to see the state of my hometown. To see the gym burned down, Trojan Stadium crumbling to the ground, and school long gone. I don't have the resources needed to help out my hometown. Such as time and money. I doubt anyone back home can help. The city is on a decline but what we can do is instill within the future generation a chance for hope. Push your children in school. Teach them to dream and never give up. Also I challenge all of you who read this to stop the gossip and the hate. Focus that energy on something positive. Become those seeds of change. I hope my message won't fall on deaf ears. Whatever happens I know I will always carry Asherton with me. It is never forgotten. Que Vivan Los Trojans!
