When I was 7 years old in December of 2003, I stepped foot for the first time in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the time I did not know
how hard it was going to be, having to grow up quickly, become an independent person, and aside from learning that the people
who you think would be the ones to help you end up being the one 's who try to destroy you. My mom always used to say, “You were

with the fact that I could not understand my school work. Even though some time had passed, my parents still had a hard time with
their English; in part this is also one of the reasons why I forced myself to learn English faster. This made me grow up in the sense
that in Cuba, I was used to living a simpler life, and always surrounded by people I knew who helped me out, but by the time I
