My mother was a great school teacher.

She was really, was proud of what she was doing.

My mother itself was told

that she have to teach at the school a different kind of curriculum.

She was told she need to teach about the revolution, Castro, the regime, the things that needed to happen.

My mother have to actually pretend that she was losing her mind and she was dismissed immediately.

That is true.

And it was very painful because my mother was a great teacher.

It was loved by many people.

But you have to play crazy in order to get out of that situation.

He has not been with the Cuban people.

If you go there as a Cuban, you go and see somebody, a relative, you're going to see the misery that they live in.

They don't know what to put on the table to serve their kids.

They don't know how they're going to get the food that they're going to eat tomorrow.

If you're going as somebody from another country or as a tourist, you're taking to, you actually become prisoner of the government.

They take you where they want you to go.

They showed you the model school.

They showed you the best hospitals.

They showed you the best restaurants.

They didn't take into what the Cuban people were.
