I would say I m an American Spaniard. It s impossible to deny where one comes from because in one way or another it shows. That s what I teach in the schools that I work. One must be proud and happy to show one s culture. It s the only secure heritage that no one can take from one s heart and mind.

Now that Venezuelans have the opportunity of holding two nationalities, they ll have to make a clear choice, in spite of the so-called privilege. Venezuelans would have to first seek and understand home before they step in a foreign land. At Miami s airport, I had a fantastic conversation with a very eloquent gentleman. He is from Venezuela, but he s also part Portuguese because both of his parents are from Portugal, but have been living in Venezuela for a very long time. This gentleman was born in Venezuela, but has both nationalities the Portuguese and the Venezuelan.
