This website is a project of the 2003–2004 Youthworks Program at the Mattress Factory

Since Grade School, I have always been interested in other languages, groups of people, and many unique cultures. This year, the Mattress Factory decided to invite ten Cuban artists to create installation art pieces for public display at the museum. As a result of the exciting news, I decided to gather together a list of interests that would serve as a focus for the website that I would soon create.

My interests are about Family Life in Cuba, Teens and Dating, and Education. I picked these three topics because I wanted to know the differences between my youth in America and the youth in Cuba, how dating between teenagers is handled, and if there are any big differences between the manners in which we are taught.

Instead of constantly just wanting to know, I decided to conduct research as many ways as possible. Through books, the Internet, and a couple of interesting people, I was able to gather information that answered many of my questions. I wanted to share the many new things that I've learned with anyone who was interested in knowing themselves, so I decided to display everything that I've done.
