This narrative is the story of an immigrant and the process of assimilating a new culture, at the age of 15 immigrated with her mother and siblings to New York City in the United States. And the difficulties she faced for not knowing the English language, a climate completely opposite to that of a Caribbean island, with lush vegetation and a sun that covers her beautiful beaches; with happy, affectionate, and caring people. People who take you into account for your behavior, your good customs, but more than anything and for your values, not for your money. On the contrary, today we must take care of those who exhibit great abundance, without being able to prove their origin. A capitalist system, with a dependency and demand for material consumption. That despite the fact that he meets many people, he does not feel human warmth. In this book he describes my experiences since I arrived in the United States on July 4, 1965, in September of that same year I began to study the English language and navigate the system. I have assimilated part of the Anglo-Saxon custom without losing my identity; embracing and loving my cultural heritage, and as a consequence and spontaneously the Grupo Folclórico Dominicano arose in New York. In October, on the occasion of the celebration of Hispanic heritage month, at the George Washington School where I studied high school located in upper Manhattan, I heard that there was no representation from the Dominican Republic; The patriotic feeling immediately arose and together with several students we proudly represent our homeland.
