When most people think about Mexico, the likely mental picture includes tequila and drug violence. Yes, those things exist, although there is so much more to my country. Believe it or not, there are a lot of advantages that being a Mexican brings.

First of all, the food is amazing. Mexico is one of the four countries with cuisine inscribed in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. There is also a huge variety because each of the 32 states in the county has several typical dishes. Panuchos in Yucatán, chiles en nogada in Puebla, carne asada in Monterrey… So many options to choose from. Mexicans enjoy very unique dishes, such as mole, a mix of chocolate and chillies, and several insects, such as chapulines and maguey worms that are considered to be delicacies.

Secondly, Mexican travel destinations can take anyone’s breath away. Due to the various climate zones, it's possible to find a place suitable to everyone’s preferences. There are deserts in the north of the country and tropical jungles in the south east divided from each other by two different mountain ranges. This allows Mexico to be one of the most diverse in terms of flora and fauna. Moving on to the culture, the archaeological sites all over the country such as Teotihuacán, Yaxchilán and Chichén Itzá show us the importance of pre-hispanic history in Mexico, and always amaze the tourists. The clash of cultures between natives and Europeans resulted in cities with a distinctive architectural style. From the colonial cities in Puebla and in Guanajuato, to the striking beaches in Cancun and Los Cabos, the beauty of the county is hardly comparable to anything else.

Hey man here are some stuff that can be used to help answer your question, I looked up some research to help you realize that Mexicans are very special and you should be very proud to be one.

Some of the tribes and ancient civilizations are inspiring:

Some of the world’s major cultures lived and developed here. Just visit the archeological cities of Teotihuacán, Tulum and Chichén Itzá to feel inspired by the magic of those ancient civilizations that preceded us.

The terrain makes many people want to live there:

Deserts, woodlands, jungles, beaches, plains: few countries can claim such diversity. Mexico is a land with many territories, where after the most mysterious mangrove comes a cosmopolitan city, and a colonial one, and then a surprise-filled mountain range. It’s the best place to dream and live.

Hard working people:

In contrast to the cliché of the sombrero-clad guy leaning against a nopal cactus, Mexicans actually dive into projects we believe in and don’t rest until they get off the ground. That well-known Mexican ingenuity enables us to realize our greatest and most surprising dreams with minimal resources yet endless creativity.

Many actors etc. have risen and contributes something good:

Filmmakers, actors, athletes, writers, engineers, visual artists: in every region in the world is a Mexican contributing amazing, original ideas that make the difference. And most interesting of all: we do innovative things without giving up our identity or values. Wherever a countryman lands, there is a powerful piece of our country.

Food is the best:

In 2010, the Unesco named Mexican cuisine Intangible Cultural World Heritage. From the stand on the corner to the finest restaurant, our dishes are exported and adapted the world over. Plus, Mexican culinary versatility makes delicacies from around the planet.

Hope this helped!
