Personal Narrative: If I Return To Cuba
All these elements exposed demonstrated the reason to fear for my life, if I return to Cuba. During the last year I have been intimidated and harass by the government. I am sure the government will be removed me from my position in the job of twenty years. I am one of the few specialist in the archival treatment of cartographic material in Cuba. Obviously my major concern is to be incarcerated for the only reason of being in disagreement with the totalitarian Cuban government which control and manipulated all the information. In my jumble opinion the professional incarcerated is vulnerable to the government atrocity and don’t has any civil

    It was Monday, May 30th, 2011. My family was driving home from a hotel we were staying at in Virginia, after going to Kings Dominion for my birthday day the day before. On the way home, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast. During our meal, we got a call from my aunt telling us that my uncle, my mother’s brother, was in the hospital. Only a few days before he had moved back to Guatemala without saying goodbye to me. Once we were back on the road, my mother continued to get phone calls updating us about what was happening down there, as each call came through we all became more and more anxious wait for the answer.

    Leaving your country is always a difficult decision, and whoever has experienced it understands the sacrifice it entails. When I left Poland at 18, I thought I was going to be in paradise, but to my disappointment it was far from that. I had to learn a new language and work hard to provide for myself. What kept me motivated was the hope for a better future and an independent life.…

    I talked to my great grandmother, on my moms side, and asked her many questions about our ancestors. "Most of the generations I know about have lived in New Mexico. Usually when people ask us we say Spain because we know our ancestors didn't come from Mexico. I'd say Spain" she said word for word. I also asked her how long ago they came and she didn't know so I assume they came a long time ago.…

    Cuban Prison Systems

    The small island of Cuba, no larger than Pennsylvania, is thought to have one of the largest per capita prisons systems in the whole world. Per capita means “by heads” or “for each head”, and Cuba has one of the largest with over 57,000 inmates, However, over the past ten years or so, Cuba’s prison population has decreased from an estimated 100,000 inmates. It’s quite difficult to get numbers as to how many people are in prison in Cuba today because their government does not regularly update the official figures on the amount of inmates, only interviews with ex-prisoners and letters smuggled out by inmates tell the horrific tale of inhumane conditions. The International Committee of the Red Cross was allowed entry to one of the prison systems in 1989 when the population was around 40,000, since then there have been no outside visits. A human rights activist by the name of Vladimiro Roca, spent nearly five years in one of these prisons. “Here, people get thrown in jail for anything, if you kill a cow to feed your family, you go to jail” (Martin 1).…

    Let me start off with my mother's journey to America. It was 1985 when her parents decided it was time for a fresh start. It was very difficult to come to America legally, so they made their journey by traveling to other countries. They left Cuba and traveled to Spain where my grandfather found a job as a farmer. They lived in Spain for almost 2 years before they gathered enough resources to travel to Mexico. The journey from Mexico to the USA was very easy for them because they had a family member who knew their way around. They struggled for many years in America but soon became legal citizens. My mother later on went to college and completed her bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Miami. My grandparents purchased the…

    I still remember when I first came to America. I was at Charlotte Douglas International airport, looking around the totally strange place which was full of strangers. All I could hear was strangers talking in a language that I didn’t understand a single word. At that moment, I realized that I was in America, the America. I remember how people describe America as the greatest country in the world and such. My heart started to beat faster and faster, it felt like my heart was going to explode. Suddenly, I feel all kinds of emotions, simple words are not enough to describe how I felt that time.…

    America, land of the free and home of the brave, a country strengthened with rights, equality, and justice. For Americans it’s just a regular country, with regular rules and laws, nothing special about it. Although, to immigrants it’s a country to reinterpret their lives, a better life, a life where they’re free to pursue their happiness and follow their dreams. Even though America is a great country, adjusting to a new culture isn’t easy. It took patience, support, understanding, and passion in order for me to balance two different cultures.…

    One day nearly two years ago, I came back from the worst trip and experience ever in my life. Three years ago, my family made the biggest decision of our lifetime together and we had decided to move. Now the fact that we were moving didn’t bother me or my little sister, it was just the simple fact that we were moving from our home that we had grown up in our entire life. The only problem was the fact that we had eventually found out that we were going to move to Oregon. This Alabama home that we grew up in was very special to me and my sister but it wasn’t the one of best of places. We had lived right beside our grandparents and we loved to go up the hill and see them and us moving had rendered that possibility from happening any longer.…

    I have personally visited Varadero Cuba and wanted to share my personal opinions on these sub topics. I can’t speak much to scale, as I didn’t travel outside of Varadero on my trip. During my stay they were building a resort directly beside ours. I remember my dad speaking to a local restaurant employee who had said that it used to be just a big field, however now it was going to be one of the biggest resorts on the strip. Looking back on it, as you drove further west along the shoreline it seemed as though the “scenery” such as trees and plants ect become less and less and the resort sizes got bigger and bigger. During our stay I don't think we ever saw one person working at the resort who wasn’t a local of Cuba, which my dad enjoyed as he…

    It is 5:30am on a rainy day on a reserve high up in the mountains of Costa Rica. I’m lying on the twin mattress of the top bunk that I’m sharing with another girl. We had gotten to the reserve two days ago and spent the day before digging a 2 metre deep septic tank for the local church and we were getting ready to go back and finish the bathroom the church has waited so long for. It’s hard grunt work and the rain and bugs don’t make it any easier, but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Although I didn’t know it when I signed up, this missions trip would change my perspective on life forever. Originally, I decided to join the Costa Rica 2015 team as a good self-improvement experience and to see another part of the world; my reasons were very selfish. I knew that we would be helping people there and I was eager to do that, but it wasn’t my primary reason for going. The minute I met the pastors of the church with which we were collaborating, my whole mindset changed. I suddenly had this intense desire to make a lasting difference in someone’s life. Over the next ten days, I became invested in the work we were doing and the people we met. We served directly with a small church in Cartago, a city…
