  1. Learning always brings on personal growth. There is still much to be learned about gender in every society.
  2. Light charges me Air impels my stride My cave embraces ----- La luz me fortalece El aire me impulsa Mi cueva me acoge
  3. I like you. I care for you. I love you. ----- Te aprecio. Te quiero. Te amo.
  4. Through the menacing ghetto I walk in fear Protected by the moon ----- Camino por el desafiante arrabal Envuelto por el miedo Protegido por la luna
  5. His mother was born in what we call the interior of our country. Her family, quite tight-knit and poor, lived from what they could harvest in their good land. It gave them the reassurance of never going hungry, though it was very difficult to sell their produce, as transportation to the main towns was harsh. Travelling by animal powered cart took too much time. Though the land occupied a vast area, they were not able to use all of it. Therefore, some of it was rented to cattle owners for grazing

  12. Make sure to live many more years.
  13. Some of the names that we have around my country are so funny. For example, when we had a US Navy post many children in the area were named Usnavy.... We also had Usmail, Usair. Stevenson has been translated into Estivenson...
