Introduction: From Cuba to Argentina. My first post!

Hello everyone. This will be my first post, and yes, I'm really scared and I have no idea how to do it. Sure, now I realize, I'm a redfish ...or a minnow...LOL

By profession I am an electronic engineer, but I am specialized in the computational subject. I work in a Data Center and I want to confess that I discovered this platform less than 1 month ago, so you can guess that I am like the chick that has just hatched.

_{I apologize to the Anglo-Saxons for my English, well, although I have no problem understanding it, I have not yet acquired the necessary experience to be able to think directly about it, so first I think in Spanish and then translate it into English.}

I come from a small town in the western part of Cuba, called Consolación del Sur, picturesque and cozy, like all my beloved island.

I am accompanied by my wife Yasnay and my 12-year-old daughter, Keyla. Nor can I fail to mention that I left a piece of me in Cuba. My oldest son who has my own name, Kadyr.

All those who have emigrated will understand, when I tell them, that these three years have not been easy at all. The fact of arriving at an unknown place, with another culture, other values, other customs, and above all not knowing absolutely anyone, makes you question if you really made the right decision. Many know what happens in Cuba, Venezuela, and some other countries, where for various reasons, we are almost forced to look for other horizons where to start our lives again.

I've been in Steeemit for a few days, but I've read several posts, and I know there are a lot of immigrants that are using the platform. I greet them from the bottom of my heart to all of them, who like me have had to split their heart in two pieces, leaving one half in the earth that saw them born.

But I come to mind, all those who are on the platform, writing their stories, and still live in those countries that try to kill all our grounds and hopes. Some of them with the firmness and strength necessary to endure so many harassments and abuse. You have my total respect and admiration. Those of us who are not there with you physically, we are with that half of heart that we leave behind.

Forgive me for deviating a bit from my presentation, but this topic touches me deeply in the deepest part of my being. My knowledge is about computer technology, and I have many years of experience in the subject. I will try, in my posts, to contribute with my expertise to the community.

I like rock and roll and cold beer, LOL. I remember the first book that I read, "Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. And I really enjoy studying and growing intellectually. By the way, I introduce my other love: her name? Just Chupi

I know I am an insignificant little fish and I have the feeling that I have been in a dirty little puddle for a long time, where I have not had the necessary food to be able to grow in life. But now that I have found the ocean, I can, with the help of the other fish, find the food I need, and be able to become something more than an insignificant little fish. I am aware that I will have to learn a lot from the community, hopefully, I will have your support to contribute and grow.

I tell you an anecdote. The first times I entered the site I thought that the numbers that represent the reputation, referred to the age that had the authors, and then when I checked the wallet, I came to the conclusion that only people with more than 60 years were able to make money on this platform, LOL. Do not laugh, it's just a newbie mistake ...

Upon arriving in this country, Argentina, we left behind all our friends and family, that is, all of our loved ones. And due to the precarious situation of communications in Cuba, it is almost impossible to maintain contact with many of them. In addition to the main reason why we enter this platform, make some money, I confess that I have a deep desire to meet and make good friends from around the world.

Finally, a fragment of the excellent book written by Yann Martel, "Life of Pi"

Why do people move? What makes them uproot and leave everything they've known for a great unknown beyond the horizon? Why climb this Mount Everest of formalities that makes you feel like a beggar? Why enter this jungle of foreignness where everything is new, strange and difficult? The answer is the same the world over: people move in the hope of a better life.
