For my first short story, I want to talk about an experience that happened to me over the thanksgiving weekend. Very casually, while sitting in my aunt's kitchen, my family began talking about their time in Cuba as children and I learned things I had never known before. Things like the fact that both of my grandfathers had been in concentration camps and about how mistreated they were by the Cuban government upon leaving the country.
I want to focus the short piece on my initial reaction to this information. It was groundbreaking for me and it altered my perceptions of my family and my heritage.
