Cuban graduated with honors in the United States without knowing English

The story of Kenya, a young Cuban who graduated with honors in the United States, has touched the hearts of thousands of people.

With a mixture of humor, courage and authenticity, he said in Tiktok how, without knowing an English word, he managed to become an ultrasound technique. His testimony, viral in networks, has inspired immigrants from all over the country.

To win $ 6.80 the time to study an English career

Kenya He arrived in Miami as many Cubans: without knowing the language and with poorly paid jobs. At first, he worked at McDonald’s for only $ 6.80 per hour.

It was thanks to a friend from Pinar del Río who decided to study ultrasound, although I did not understand what it was or the documents he signed. He believed it would be easy because teachers spoke Spanish, but soon discovered that classes and exams were in English.

Despite the fear, I had already signed roles for a $ 22,000 school. There was no going back. He found support in a partner who turned her «soul» of the soul and in other companions who encouraged her to move on.

When the language does not stop you, but it drives you

Although he had zero English, this Cuban graduated with honors in the United States. Kenya says she studied twice as his teammates, leaned on dictionaries and never stopped asking what things meant.

He failed, yes, but he tried again. And he succeeded: today he has licenses in abdomen, gynecology and ecofetal.

Laughter, remember how they traveled to Cayo Bone in a car called «Pancho», and their failed attempt to ask in English: «Where’s the Bone Falling?» The video, beyond the funny, reflects the courage of a woman who decided to launch, without excuses.

A message that motivates thousands

The impact was immediate. Nurses, technicians and migrants felt identified. Many confessed that they were about to abandon their studies by the language.

Others said they needed just that push. Each comment received a response from Kenya, humble and full of gratitude: «Amen», «You can», «Thank you for your words.»

Kenya says: «Yes, I could, with zero English, graduate in two and a half years, looking at a dictionary, asking the teacher: ‘What does this mean?’, Studying twice as much as others. I failed, yes, but I came back and tried. And I succeeded.

English is not a dream barrier

Kenya works today in a clinic where all are Americans. And although it still has limitations with the language, that does not stop it. On the contrary: compete with the same rights and even earns more than some who perfectly dominate English.

His message is clear and forceful: «If I could with zero English, you can. I am not better than you. English is not a limitation. Tye and learn ».
