Well to start I’m from Cuba, Pinal del Rio and my Name is Nandy Martinez. I was born in 1993, i was raise as a Cuban boy. To start you know that Cuba is poor country, a Communist. For me Cuba is not just a bad place, actually is a great place just to visit not to leave. I love my country, is where i was raise and where i was born but why i said that, because if you want to leave there you got to have a lot of money. When i was born my child hood was so great because is a free country too but is not so much freedom until you come to another place and you see the reality and the things and the much freedom you have. Know I’m here in USA, it wasn’t hard to get out of there (Cuba) from where i was standing it wasn’t. I came to USA in 2004 when i was 11 years old. I never imagine that i was going to see so much reality in my life or so much freedom you have. From were i was standing until know its a big different. When i was actually 11 years old i though i was not going to have a dream, my dream was to have a big family and a big car, big house, big everything but it was something in my heart that it was telling me “No se si puedo”-”I don’t think i can do it”. But today when i put my feet’s in this country i knew that “Yes Yes i can”. My 1st school it was a pain, i dint know nothing about English “nothing”-”Nada”, it was so crazy because i could understand nothing until2 or 3 years after when i stated learning something and to have a talk to talk to person. I think to my mom because she had a lot or personality and a lot of challenges for me, i thanks her today because she not only raise me but thanks to her i have a character and a personality to stand for my self. but she hasn’t just show me that, actually she is from Cuba to and she leave almost her life in Cuba, my mom she’s Christian, today i can said that she has a lot of faith of her self, she believe on God, she actually calls God “Jesus her saber of her life”. Today i can say the same thing because thanks to God I’m here where I’m standing in USA and does one reason why i can “say yes i can and I’m Proud where I’m from”
