In cuba they only spoke Spanish but in America they spoke English. So they had to learn a new language. Also she had to adjust to a new job because in Cuba she was a biology professor at a University but in the USA she had to work first at a hotel for about 2 years and later she was helping other families at Miami Children and Family.  ]]> 2020-11-19 17:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/zips0121_2/dh75sllomlnxy86l/wish/942453407 zips0121_2 https://padlet.com/zips0121_2/dh75sllomlnxy86l/wish/942456923 The traditions my grandparents keep are that they still celebrate " Noche buena" ( the night before Christmas), and also they eat pork at Christmas. ]]> 2020-11-19 17:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/zips0121_2/dh75sllomlnxy86l/wish/942456923 zips0121_2 https://padlet.com/zips0121_2/dh75sllomlnxy86l/wish/942457648 In 2004 my mom was studying eye care in new york.
