ESOL Voices: Student Spotlight


ESOL Voices: Student Spotlight : Yamil Morales

Yamil is a former MCC ESOL student from Cuba. In this essay, Yamil interviewed Abimail Serrano, a Cuban Balsero. Balsero comes from the Spanish word “balsa” meaning “raft,” and was the name given to Cubans who illegally immigrated to the US in self-constructed vessels to escape communism.  Abimail was one of the lucky survivors.  He currently lives in Miami and works at the Miami International Airport.
