What's something you'd bring back if you could go back in time? My mother-in-law is a Cuban exile who came to the U.S. as a child, forced to leave behind everything they owned. Her mother was a seamstress who sewed their valuables into the jackets they wore as they fled- yet even those jackets were confiscated. I wish I could bring back her family heirlooms for her, providing something tangible from her life in Cuba, something she one day could pass down to her grandchildren that would remind them of their heritage.
People would be surprised to know... I was on the varsity fencing team throughout high school. I also played snooker competitively until medical school. My father is the vice president of the international snooker league.
