Arias With Tears
In His Eyes
While Visiting
Former Public
School
Nostalgia
overtook the
emotions of the
Costa Rican
president, Oscar
Arias, during a
visit of the
public school
República
Argentina, the
school he
attended as a
boy some 50
years ago.

The prez
was seen
with
tears in
his eyes
during
the
visit in
his
province
of
birth,
Heredia.
"This is
were I
dared
say for
the
first
time in
my life
that I
wanted
to be
president
some
day",
said
Arias in
a soft
voice.
Arias
told the
audience
of his
memories
of his
mother
saying
goodbye
to him
every
morning
when
left for
school,
later
visiting
the
market
and his
memories
of his
teacher,
Olga
Camacho,
who was
at his
side
during
the
visit.
The
school
is now
part of
Costa
Rica's
patrimony,
declared
an
historical
and
arquitectural
site in
1987 by
Arias
himself
during
his
first
term as
president.
