I lived in Miami my whole life you know I came here I was fortunate enough that when America opened its arms to another
00:00:07
wave of immigrants the Cubans this time I was able to come with my family and leave Castro's communist Cuba start a
00:00:14
new life here so Miami's pretty much all I've known cuz I came very young I worked my way
00:00:19
through undergrad and law school as a police officer I was youngest cop in Miami I was 19 years old and I would go
00:00:27
to class all day especially during law school I would go to class all day and at 4:30 I put up my uniform and patrol
00:00:33
all night and that's the way I worked my way through law school so I'd be arresting somebody for burglary and then
00:00:40
getting in the car and studying studying the rule against perpetuities or some other legal concept
00:00:45
it wasn't the ideal way to go through law school but you do what you have to do and that's what I had to do you know
00:00:50
Miami is pretty much the city I've known like anywhere else you live you start getting a little tired and say well you
00:00:57
know what I think I might move somewhere but every time I go away for any period of time just a few weeks
00:01:02
I miss it and I'm always happy to come back it's a great place it just has pretty much everything that you would
00:01:09
want in a place you live
