I wish to say with pictures how, when I was 12 years old, I listened to my aunt say " life isn't all rosy." These simple words changed my life and blew my mind forever. I think this story can show, regardless of our age, the simplest words we hear, can have the potential to affect a change in our lives forever.

Can you have roots without being tied to the soil? Do I have roots? Of course I do, but I carry them with me… They are the veins and arteries inside my body and soul, I am a Dominican of the world.
