Believing That You Can
services. Many tourists use the health services because the
cost to them is low. They can go see different specialists.
All of this sounds good, but the big problem is that the
Cuban people cannot find medicine in the country. All

Cuban currency. In contrast, United States citizens pay for
their health care and medicine. Everyone is treated the
same and all hospitals are in good condition. In conclusion,

the USA where I have liberty to do, to speak, and to travel
while my rights are respected.

only to live in the United States; but also attend college one
day. In Haiti, if you don’t have the money you can’t go to
college. I am going to return to my country where I was
born one day. I love my country so much. Even so, it is a
