Family tree presentation
My family migrated from Cuba to the United States in March 1966, arriving in Miami during the Freedom Flights program. They came to Miami during a difficult time when jobs were scarce for those who did not speak English. My paternal grandfather had worked in a sugar cane field in Cuba, but my father was unable to find similar work in Miami. Both of my maternal grandparents had passed away by the time I was born. My family continues Spanish traditions like celebrating holidays, and we have incorporated American traditions as well. My last names originate from Spain but I do not know the meanings. Cubans still flee Cuba today for similar reasons as in 1966, though it is now easier for them to adjust to the local culture in Miami.

Brazil's Economy
Brazil has one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world, and is predicted to become one of the top five economies globally in the coming decades. It has a large industrial sector producing automobiles, steel, and aircraft. Agriculture is also important, with Brazil being a top global producer of grains and soybeans. Historically, Brazil's economy relied on exports of gold, coffee, sugar, and raw materials, and used slave labor until the 19th century. It has since diversified and now has hundreds of trade partners.

Mandela attended a strict boarding school and obtained degrees in Native Administration and Law. He was arrested multiple times for his anti-apartheid activities, including the five-year Treason Trials. On February 11, 1990, Mandela was released from prison after 27 years. His family life after prison was strained, and he was inaugurated as South Africa's first democratic president on May
