My story in this country

I am 30 years old and when I look back at the years past by I realize I never done anything major that you can tell someone or your kids your dad did this and they will proud to tell there friends about it but in fact is true I have done nothing major not even enjoy myself they way I really want to but I am hoping to change that pretty soon however looking bad at the past since I came from Cuba when I was 15 years old I only been two three places in my life first when I was living in Alabama most of the time the family trip was to go to Pensacola and play the lotto and buy food that’s pretty much it and them when we went to visit my cousin in saint Louis Missouri the trip was so boring nothing to see and when we got there the weather was nice but I dint like the place where they live we have fun with the family but them again on our way back the hole boring trip again and also back in Alabama the only thing I can say that help me wile I was there is the fact that I went to the school there at first I was scare but once you are inside the ropes is either go forward and fight or tried to find your way around and I am never scared of a challenge so I went forward it was really hard I dint know any English people talk to me and I was in limbo but I have that personality that never gives up and I don’t really pay attention to the people that don’t want you to succeed but the first year kind of hard but I meet some Cuban people that help me get through it I remember when I was in PE class and this story is one of the many I have when I was in school but this one is the one that suit me better cause like I say I don’t care about what the people think about me as long as I accept who I am nothing else matter and that’s what I teach to my kids to learn yea you can have friends but never let a friend tell you what to do to make you look cool or make you look cool what is wrong is wrong no matter what be who you are and whatever you do even if is wrong you did it because you want to not because some else tell you to do it and that’s always been me so getting back to my story at the PE class the teacher probably he dint like Latin people or maybe was in a bad mood that day he ask me something and in that class you have to buy the uniform in order to get the credits for that class you have to be in uniform and to my knowledge I tough he was asking me when I was going to buy the uniform so I told him tomorrow and he was looking at me like what the fuck are you talking about and he ask me something again and I told him tomorrow and people started laughing I dint care but then that’s when I meet one of my Cuban friend and he told me that he was saying that my class was change and I was like ok so I pick up my book bag and left but I was never embarrassed like most people will be or anything like that in order to learn something there are some speed bums on the road to success to tell you the true I never learn the language in school to tell you the true I don’t really speak English that well but I learn what It need to be done in order to understand anyone and be able to communicate with someone them thing starting to get bad for us in Alabama and it was time to move and we move to Florida  that was the place my dad was trying to avoid he never want to come to Florida from the first time since he was doing his paper work at the embassy in Cuba but we came to Florida actually me and my brother came first to my cousin house right away she help us get a job and we start working in a place where they make the trailer for the boats and we work there for awhile and we saved money and we rent our own apartment and them we bring the rest of the family to tell you the true I don’t really like Miami but I been learning to live it day by day I have my worst times in here and my good times I been able to see my sons raise my little one is getting funnier every moment my old one is even funnier so I have my share here in Miami I am hoping to change that as soon I get my own truck and be able to make even more money hopefully very soon      

The worst two week in October

I have the worst to week of my life in October since I came to this country I been having some bad months before even when the hole family was together but nothing compare to this last two weeks of October where I have little money, little food and almost being without water but I been pray that is not happened till I get paid I been stretching the little money I have to come to work and stretching it to eat at least something and I realize that is all my fault for bad spending and nothing saved but that is going to stop is not going to happened again I cant live my life like that I have responsibility to my kids and making sure they are supported and I have to do a better job with my financial situation so I don’t have to worry what is going to happened tomorrow and not make mistake and be wise about how I spend my money I know the situation is hard for anybody but is not anybody I worry about is me and the well being of my family in part of what happened to me is for being to nice to my family and help them in any way I can like a good member of the family and now I am in a bad situation for helping them and when I ask for help I get the same sorry excuses and I am getting tired of that from now on my priorities goes first above anyone this exclude my kids of course but when it came to family they better do it or there own unless I am in better situation I don’t mind help them but like I say unless I am in a better situation thank god is one more day till payday thing starting to look bright again and getting a little better now
