Calcines Was A Child Of Fidel Castro'S Cuba; He Was Just Three Years Old When Castro Came To Power In January 1959. After That, Everything Changed For His Family And His Country. When He Was Ten, His Family Applied For An Exit Visa To Emigrate To America And He Was Ridiculed By His Schoolmates And Even His Teachers For Being A Traitor To His Country. But Even Worse, His Father Was Sent To An Agricultural Reform Camp To Do Hard Labor As Punishment For Daring To Want To Leave Cuba.
