Anything perturbs the smile and the happiness of the children in Cuba

Cuban children I`m a Cuban as any other one, but I keep very deep in the heart my first years: the infantile circle and its educating ones attentive; able to disappear the cry for the separation of my parents with a song, a game, a toy - left many times of its own hands and elaborated with more love and genius that resources.

I continue looking in my memories and then I see my Primary School “Revolution of October”, facility that continues being near, not only because is in the same neighborhood in the one that even alive, but because in him is continued forging the future. I cannot avoid it, every time that I do the torrent of children with their uniforms in route to the school, I see myself the same as them, everything hurried because it was unforgivable the delay.

The Basic Secondary lapsed in a big house, immense for my short 11 years of then. To the Vocational, Maximum School Gómez Báez”, of Camagüey I arrived with a lot of curiosity and desires of learning and I left transformed into high school and with my ticket of student of Journalism in the University of East.

And why do I make tale about this my first year-old , you will wonder that shares these lines. The reason is simple: is to arrive a new June and it first day marks the one that is consecrated internationally to the childhood. None of today's adults, I dare to assure, it can pass for high this date.

I would say more, any Cuban adult, born after the dawn of January of 1959 should forget the day dedicated to the children. It is imposed to poke in the memories to see us another small, vicarial time or perhaps fats; but for mainly to confirm that we are here because we had everything, or at least the indispensable thing to become what we are.

Very closeJune 1st is and I see the girl that I was again and the one that I am still… and I say this way , without pain some, because still with my almost four decades of life I maintain alive my childhood memories, that happy stage in that absolutely anything perturbs the smile and the happiness, at least in Cuba. It was this way with me and it is this way today with who, at these hours of Sunday, they flood parks or other spaces in company of the family to toss to fly the imagination and why it doesn't stop to reaffirm us that the future is guaranteed.
