Nothing is better than Miami during the summer. As I walked down Lincoln Road in the middle of summer 2013 on a sunny yet breezy afternoon, I realized that this was the epitome of what it’s like to live in Miami. As the sun shun down on the palm trees illuminating their lively green color, I noticed a young couple having a discussion. “Yo creo que Miami es una de las ciudades mas bonitas” said the young woman. “Tienes razon” replied the man to the woman. Hearing their conversation surely enlightened me. In that precise moment I realized that I lived in one of the most diverse cities in the world. Miami is full of different cultures. People from all over the
Throughout this piece Marti uses metaphors to describe both the revolution and Cuba’s culture.

As decades pass, Florida’s population continues to grow and change rapidly. Being from both Dominican and Puerto Rican decent, the difficulties Latin Americans encounter become obvious. Trying to make a comfortable living in any Hispanic country is not an easy task. Many Spanish families, for that reason, decide to move to the United States for a better standard of living. And many of these individuals have been able to achieve their goals in life considering their minority roles in our country. Since Florida is the first peninsula most travelers come across when arriving into the U.S., the individuals find themselves to stay. South and Central Florida have especially been common areas for Latin families. Therefore, having so many successful Hispanics around, can be very inspiring to a person.

It may not be the same as it was one hundred years ago, or even twenty years ago for that matter. But one thing makes that okay, culture is not written, nor are you born with it. We humans are taught to culture. And what I’ve learned and discovered on my own is that being Cuban means many things to me; it means music and loudness, a lot of family memories, and most definitely pride. To begin with, the Cuban culture is one of loud and joyous music.
