Cuban's Rule.........

As some of you might know. I am a Cuban American. My mom came to the United States in 1962 right after the Bay of Pigs. She (only 10 yrs. old) and her brother came by themselves and were put into foster homes. By the grace of God her parents came shortly after and they were reunited.



It isn't often that I ran across someone else of Cuban decent infact I can say that other than the many cuban's in Flordia that I've encountered I've only ever met one other person who was part Cuban until today. I found out that my visiting teacher and I have this heritage in common. Our mom's were born in the same territory in Cuban and came to the United States at the same time. Take it one step further... our grandfathers passed away at about the same time. Anyway I found it very interesting and kind of cool that someone else out there in this huge world had this incommon with me. Being Cuban has always been something that I am proud of because it makes me unique, but it is also fun to have fellow Cubanite amongst us.






This is my mom!! She is the best mom anyone could have.

Um, your mom looks like a cuter Paula Abdul. Who is your Cuban VT? I need to know.

I have boring heritage. English, Danish, Polish, blah blah blah.
