Ask not what your country can do for you…
Ruben at Choate
I am often asked about Cuban people and how they feel about Americans. This recent, impromptu photo from Choate explains it well.
Ruben and two other Innovadores interns were visiting Choate recently, where this picture of a notable alum hangs in admissions. He didn’t know it was going to be there, but he recognized it. Being a selfie machine, Ruben sprung to action. But later, when I asked him, he said yes he knew about Bay of Pigs, The Blockade, and the Embargo. And while it hurt his country terribly, he didn’t harbor any grudges. That was just politics among people way above his pay grade. He knew JFK was a famous and iconic figure. And he made for a good selfie backdrop.
Cuban people pretty much adore Americans. And even American Presidents. From Choate.
