“Freedom”
The definition of freedom is: “Absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government” (Oxford Dictionary). All nations have fallen victims of oppression, at a given time in history. It is a characteristic of human nature: the desire to dominate others, expand territories, control, subdue, enslave, and even to commit genocide, to become “victorious”. My beloved country, the Dominican Republic, went under the dominion of France and Spain, before it became an independent nation.

Are You Afraid of Public Speaking?
I just remembered when I was in my teen years: a shy girl, that preferred to be alone, always studying, with no time for socializing. What a wrong point of view !. I thought that my most important task as an student was to get excellent grades in all my subjects. I thought that intelligence was measured by high grades. I also thought that smartest people deserved the best salaries and job opportunities available in the marketplace. Little I knew then, how important was to socialize. You cannot go far in life without friends, connections, interactions. I realized all this, when I was in my 50’s, while been trained in the financial industry, in Wall Street. Kind of late, eh!, but not too late!
